1. Easter Letter from the Pastor’s Office
Dear Family,
A real theme for our family at Brunswick Street Baptist Church this year has been hope. As well as being the core verse for the Canadian Baptists of Atlantic Canada’s vision, a verse I have also cited often this last year has been Romans 15:13, which is:
‘May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace
as you trust in him, so that you may overflow
with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.’
I continue to find myself captivated by this verse. Recently, I have found myself reflecting on the word ‘overflow’. It’s interesting to me how the preface ‘over’ is so often associated with difficulties we face in life. Overwhelmed, overworked, overburdened, overtired, overstimulated, overloaded, overthinking… what if as followers of Jesus in a time where people can feel overcome with all the ‘overs’ of life, what if we could live in a place of ‘overflow’?
As we continue to move towards Easter, this time of great hope, words from Max Lucado’s book ‘Unshakable Hope: Building Our Lives on the Promises of God’ have been sticking with me.
“We are building our lives on the promises of God. Because his Word is unbreakable, our hope is unshakable. We do not stand on the problems of life or the pain in life. We stand on the great and precious promises of God.” “The question is not, will God keep his promises, but will we build our lives upon them?”
God has so much to say about hope and our identity. Hope of a life in all its fullness, of the presence of our God with us by the power of the Holy Spirit, day by day, plans to give us a hope and a future. We are given a new identity, adopted into His family, we have our sin wiped clean and are given a way back to God! In fact, as we are told in John 6:40:
"For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day."
Everyone. God’s will is for everyone. We are left with an amazing and enduring hope in all circumstances for all people. As followers of Jesus, we have a powerful, yet personal God who not only walks with us all the days of our lives but can even carry us through the valley of the shadow of death. God being with us in every moment of life through the Holy Spirit within us is the living hope that is the greatest gift we could ever receive! As Max Lucado also shares:
“Because Jesus is human, he understands you.
Because he is divine, he can help you.
He is uniquely positioned to carry us home.”
Jesus’ love and grace in our life is enough! Enough for you, yesterday, today and forever. He understands us, loves us, is with us and for us. His grace is enough in every circumstance, the question is, do we truly believe this and live like it is true? Do we see our identity and value so entangled in our belonging to the family of God, or does our own opinion of self and perspective on hope still get in the way? Jesus even asks this very kind of question in the Gospel of John after declaring His power where he says in John 11:25 – 26:
"Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die.
Do you believe this?'"
This commitment of God for us, despite our flaws and failures, our doubts and insecurities, our sin and living of life in the ‘overs’ is God’s grace given to us. God’s gift to us is not only life eternal, but His very presence with us now. Richard Rohr, the Catholic Priest, wrote a beautiful reflection on grace that I would like to share a section of, where he writes:
“The concept of grace is first called mercy, or ‘hesed’ in Hebrew: the ever-faithful, covenant-bound, infinite and eternal love of God. All God’s power for renewal and resurrection proceeds from this source, never from punishment. Jesus punishes nobody! I would go so far as to call grace the primary revelation of the entire Bible. If we miss this message, all the rest is distorted and even destructive. I cannot emphasize this strongly enough.”
As he says, if we miss that God is for everyone, that God loves everyone and that His grace is for the entire World, all creation, if we miss that Jesus is not for punishment but instead for the love and redemption of all and consequently gives this wonderful grace and love to everyone then as we have seen many times throughout history, the Bible can be used destructively for division or to support personal agendas rather than as a value system on how live in grace and love of all God has created.
Jesus is Good News for everybody, always! In the middle of the chaos and questions that this world and life poses, it might be the better weather, but the song ‘Three Little Birds’ by Bob Marley keeps going round my head. “Don’t worry about a thing, ‘cause every little thing is gonna be alright’. In a sense, that is what we can have hope in because of Jesus, and this hope can live in us by the power of the Spirit. In the end, everything will be all right. History is set on an inherently positive and hopeful tangent, because of the resurrection we have hope and truly can believe eventually that, ‘Every little thing is gonna be alright!’ You cannot quell the Good News! As author Clarence W. Hall says:
“The resurrection of Jesus changes the face of death for all His people. Death is no longer a prison, but a passage into God’s presence. Easter says you can put truth in a grave, but it won’t stay there. You can nail it to a cross, wrap it in winding sheets and shut it up in a tomb, but it will rise!”
May this hope that rises in all circumstances even in the face of death both define your Easter and your life as we continue to hope in the resurrection and the life we are given in Jesus and live by the Spirit.
Blessings of this special, wonderful and hopeful season,
Rev. Ross Watters
Lead Pastor
2. Easter Services and Events
Maundy Thursday Worship Service
Thursday, April 17 | 6:30 pm | Sanctuary
Jesus gathered with his disciples in the upper room and gave them a new covenant “in His blood”. Knowing that we would need to be reminded of what he did for us, he used bread and wine so that we could actually hold these symbols of grace in our own hands. The Maundy Thursday service will be held in the sanctuary, hosted by Rev. Kevin Culberson. After the service of the Lord’s Table, we’ll hear the events that unfolded in Jesus’ life between the upper room and the cross. This will leave our hearts prepared to gather at Calvary.
Good Friday Worship Service with Grace Memorial and Faith Baptist Churches
Friday, April 18 | 10:30 am | BSBC Sanctuary
A Good Friday shared community worship service with BSBC, Faith Baptist, and Grace Memorial, will be hosted by BSBC. We will have a combined choir, contemporary worship and messages from Pastor Larry Matthews, Pastor Peter Lohnes and Pastor Ross Watters as we come together to remember the sacrifice God made on our behalf and the impact of Jesus sacrifice on our life today. On Good Friday we remember that, God loved the people of this world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who has faith in him will have eternal life and never really die. God did not send his Son into the world to condemn its people. He sent him to save them! John 3:16-17. Join us as we celebrate this Good News!
Easter Sunday Worship Services
Sunday, April 20 | 10:30 am | Contemporary, Traditional, and Mandarin
Join us in one of our Easter Sunday worship services as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. We will remember and celebrate the significance of Jesus conquering death and giving the opportunity of restoration between anyone and God. Imagine someone providing you with the greatest gift possible at absolutely no cost to you. Sound too good to be true? Come along and celebrate the reality of this gift with us!
Easter Giving Goal
Please consider making a special Easter financial gift this year as part of your celebration of the Lord's goodness. Please note "Easter Offering" on your envelope or e-Transfer, as we aim to reach our target of $10,000 for Easter 2025. I also want to thank you and pray that God would bless you for the generous regular weekly giving throughout the year that allows Brunswick Street to minister locally and beyond.
3. Easter in the Library!
Join us after the service for a fun Easter egg hunt in the church library...for small and BIG kids! And when you are done, take home an Easter goody bag too!

18. This Sunday’s Worship Gatherings: April 20
Join us on Easter Sunday in both the sanctuary and gym worship services as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. We will remember and celebrate the significance of Jesus conquering death and giving the opportunity of restoration between anyone and God. Imagine someone providing you with the greatest gift possible at absolutely no cost to you. Sound too good to be true? Come along and celebrate the reality of this gift with us!
In the Sanctuary, the worship team will be led by Gloria Tranquilla and David Steeves with special music from an Ensemble and the Sanctuary Choir. In the Gym, the worship team will be led by Jon Wilton with special music from the Easter Choir.
Pastor Ross will be in the gym. Of his Easter message, he says, “As we come into Easter, we will take time to look at the triumphal entry and the significance of grace as we reflect on Jesus celebratory arrival in Jerusalem and also look at His grace-filled interaction with one of the criminals placed on the cross next to Him. What can we learn about Jesus holiness and the grace and forgiveness of God as we dig deeper this Sunday?”
Dr. Keith will be in the sanctuary. Of his sermon titled “Wild Resurrection”, he says, “This Easter Sunday there is surely no better time to consider the reality of the resurrection of Jesus and its impact on our lives. While the Easter resurrection is a game-changing event without precedent in human history, there are some hints in the Hebrew Bible that death is not the end. This morning, we will review one such hint, along with paying close attention to an episode that is recorded in Matthew, Mark and Luke, one that involves some leaders of the Sadducees. Notably, this group of elites do not believe in physical resurrection from the dead, and they try to trap Jesus with their words. But the response of Jesus is astonishing and provides us with some powerful grounds for confidence in the Easter message that can transform our entire worldview and make an incalculable difference as we live as disciples of the risen Lord Jesus today.”
Whether in-person or online, be sure to join us this Sunday morning at 10:30 am.

19. Bereavement
Donald William Reimer
With sadness we share the passing of Don Reimer, Ken Reimer’s dad. Don passed peacefully Sunday afternoon at the nursing home in Ottawa. Ken is so glad had a nice visit with him a couple of weeks ago. When they talked, Don was quite interested in how they were all doing, and reflective on his own life, saying, “I’ve got a lot to be thankful for.”
We are thankful for his example of a Godly life, and know he is in a better place now with his Lord and Saviour.
Audrey Jean Bourque
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Audrey Bourque, mother of Shelley Pronk, on Saturday, April 5th.
