3. Supporting Ukraine Easter Sale: Thank you!

Dear BSBC Family,

We are so thankful to each one of you for supporting our Easter sale on Sunday, March 29. We were able to raise $1007.75 which is much more than we were hoping for. Ken Reimer will transfer these funds to Leleka this week.

Leleka is an American-Ukrainian charitable partnership of Leleka Foundation and Leleka-Ukraine, dedicated to helping medics in Ukraine save lives on the front lines. Leleka Foundation is a US-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 2014, and Charitable foundation Leleka-Ukraine whose mission is to help medics in Ukraine save lives on the front lines. From a grassroots fundraising effort to a fully operational system, Leleka Foundation has remained steadfast in its mission: to equip Ukraine’s frontline medics with the tools they need to save lives. For more information, please visit www.Leleka.care.

As we didn't take out any of our purchase costs, all monies we received will be spent on tactical medicine. These funds will equip one large backpack that contains 104 different supplies and will help stabilize and rescue 10 wounded defenders. This gift of life is the best thing we could get for Easter, thank you!

God is so good.

Julia & Sergiy

Some examples might be (but not limited to):

Number the Stars by Lois Lowry

I am David by Anne Holm

Thank you,

7. SAT Refugee Sponsorship Update

Dear BSBC family,

Your Social Action Team (SAT) would like to thank you for your continued support of refugees around the world who are living in desperate circumstances and seeking the chance to begin new lives here in Fredericton. We are excited to share a long-awaited update on the refugee family for whom we submitted a sponsorship application in 2023.

We are grateful to report that this family has finally been issued their visas to travel to Canada. They are now waiting for the international organization supporting them to book their travel. We have been advised that their arrival could take approximately 7 to 11 weeks; however, given the ongoing instability in the Middle East, timelines remain uncertain.

For those who may not be familiar with this sponsorship, the family of six is originally from Syria and is currently living as refugees in Lebanon. The family includes a father (50), a mother (39), three sons (21, 18, and 5), and a daughter (16). We were connected with them through Rachel Nesbitt, a former member of our congregation, who befriended their relatives here in Fredericton. Although the Nesbitt family has since moved away, Rachel continues to stay in contact with the family’s mother.

As many of you will have heard in the news, life in Lebanon has become increasingly dangerous over the past year. This family has been displaced twice due to the war with Israel, with bombing occurring very close to the village in southern Lebanon where they were living.

Once we have a clearer sense of their arrival date, we will share lists of household items and other needs so that those who wish can help us prepare their new home here in Fredericton. In the meantime, we still need to raise significant funds to support the family during their first 12 months in Canada.

We are thankful to share that, to date, a total of $34,162 has been raised for the refugee fund. Since our church voted at the 2022 Annual Business Meeting to pursue this sponsorship, more than $27,000 of that amount has been generously donated by you, our church family. We are deeply grateful for this support. However, with an estimated sponsorship cost for 12 months of $52,300, additional funds are still needed, as BSBC is responsible for covering the family’s living expenses for their first year in Canada. While travel costs are covered separately, once the family arrives in Fredericton, we must be prepared to fully support them.

We look forward to continuing to share updates as travel plans are finalized, as well as opportunities for you to help, connect, and walk alongside this family as they begin their new life here.

If you have any questions about this sponsorship, please feel free to contact Martina Verboom at sk8martina@gmail.com.

8. Community Volunteer Income Tax Program Clinics:

Tuesdays 1:00 to 5:00 pm

Join us in the gym each Tuesday afternoon in April from 1:00 to 5:00 pm.

If you or someone you know could benefit from this free service, we will be happy to help.

Sincerely,

Shelley Pronk, 506 451-1097, pronk@nbnet.nb.ca

9. Volunteering Opportunities

A. Sunday Streets Muffin Ministry: May 24

On behalf of our brothers and sisters who make a weekly evening trek around the city to visit those sleeping rough, and the members of your Social Action Team, thank you ‘muffin makers’ for your faithfulness serving in this way. Your sweet generosity is more than just baked goods; it’s an expression of care and hope in Jesus’ name.

Our Street Ministry team need muffins as soon as May 24 for our Sunday night outreach program. As we prepare for the busy summer months, we aim to have 4 dozen muffins each week to ensure we’re well-stocked and ready to bless those we serve. If you are able to help in this way, please place 12 muffins, individually wrapped, in a large zipper locked bag, and label the bag “Street Ministry”. Don’t forget to include your name and the delivery date for which you signed up. You can place the labeled muffins in the upright freezer in the main kitchen.

Please click the link below or call the church office (506-458-8348) and our admin team will be pleased to do the online registration for you. Jesus spoke of offering cups of cold water in his name. Muffins, we believe, offer the same opportunity to bless others for Him.

ONE Conference | June 5 and 6

ONE Conference is our annual youth gathering, where churches from across the Maritimes come together in a cross-denominational worship environment. This past year, over 3,000 students in Grades 6–12 gathered to worship Jesus.

This year, ONE Conference will take place June 5–6 at the Moncton Coliseum. Here’s a snapshot of what the weekend looks like: we’ll leave Fredericton around 3:00 pm and head to Moncton to arrive in time for the start of the event. The first afternoon and evening kick off with the Fun Zone (featuring bouncy castles and large inflatables), followed by a high-energy worship service with engaging speakers. The night wraps up with a performance by rap artist, Hulvey. After the evening concludes, we’ll head to Lower Coverdale Church for the night. The following day includes two main worship sessions, more time in the Fun Zone, and some free time before we head home around 5:00 pm.

For many Christian teens, ONE Conference is the highlight of the youth group year. It’s an incredible opportunity to worship alongside thousands of other students, hear from inspiring speakers, enjoy powerful worship music, and experience God in a fresh and meaningful way.

If you’d like to learn more, check out their website at www.onecon.ca. If you have any questions or want more details, feel free to reach out to me at youth.bsbc.nb@gmail.com.

Ken Reimer, Treasurer

14. This Sunday’s Worship Gatherings: April 12

In the sanctuary, the worship team will be led by Gloria Tranquilla and David Steeves with special music from Emmett Flores and the Sanctuary Choir. In the gym, the worship team will be led by Allie Dunfield.

Dr. Keith Bodner will be preaching in the gym. Of his sermon, he says: “In the buildup to our 2026 Easter Celebration, we looked at the story through the lens of some of the minor characters in the supporting cast, noting that these figures often have major importance despite a limited role. For example, the criminal Barabbas is not given any direct speech, nor even makes a formal appearance in the narrative, and yet we discover a significant facet of the Easter message through him, as Jesus literally takes his place and Barabbas walks free from prison. Similarly, Simon of Cyrene is coming in from the country, and yet is forced by the soldiers to carry the cross of Jesus, but there is evidence to believe that this proximity to Jesus on the way to crucifixion has a long-term impact on Simon and his family. In the aftermath of Resurrection Sunday, we will turn to another character in Luke 24, Cleopas, who has a startling encounter with the risen Jesus. Through this extended conversation on the road to Emmaus—which turns from despair to illumination—we are provided with an inspiring challenge for our own journey of discipleship in these days.”

Rev. Ross Watters will be preaching in the sanctuary. Of his sermon, he says: “We often think about sacrifice in terms of money or possessions, but one of the most valuable things we have to give is our time. In a world full of busy schedules, constant notifications, and endless demands, it can be difficult to slow down and make space for God. This Sunday we’ll explore the story of Mary and Martha and reflect on what it means to prioritize time with God. Together we’ll consider how sacrificing part of our schedules can deepen our relationship with Him, nurture spiritual growth, and remind us that time spent in God’s presence is never wasted. Join us as we reflect on a simple but powerful question: Are we willing to give God our most precious resource—our time?”

Whether in-person or online, be sure to join us this Sunday morning at 10:30 am.

15. Service Structure Planning and Consultation Information

Board of Deacons Subcommittee: Peter Cook, Andrew Culberson, Liz Smith, Stephen VanSlyke, & Pastor Ross Watters

Why A Change Now?

Capacity issues within the gym
Space for growth
An inviting space to allow new families to feel welcomed
Weekly set-up time & resources, inefficiencies/fatigue with getting sound right
Gym space setup is standard at 180 and most weeks there are limited seating options.
Parking on a Sunday morning often forces families to park and walk to BSBC.
We have engaged in two distinct worship services at BSBC for almost 20 years.
Maintaining current services is paramount within the shifts.
Deacons have prayerfully determined that maintaining and bolstering Sunday School is important moving forward.
Good Financial Stewardship
We need to use our current facilities and maximize the space God has provided to BSBC

Some Considerations

Unity in one church body
Engaged in 2 worship styles for over 20 years with adjustments
Services are deeply important
Financial stewardship (constraints)
Need to support both services with resources
Changes are significant and our culture can be deeply entrenched

Summary of Discussions & Collaboration

BOD discussions for more than 2 years
When calling an Associate Pastor, considered the connection between pastoral staff and service structures
December 2025 - Letter from a congregant was shared with the Deacons that clearly articulated the need for change and underscored the urgency
February 2026 - Deacons special meeting to develop possible options for service structure
Annual Meeting February 2026 - Chair of Deacons shared that there would be upcoming discussions around service structure
March 2026 - Consultation on potential changes
March 2026 – Today’s information meeting to share the plan for consultation and review as we create clear plans to implement change in September 2026

Goal to Have a Solution in Place for the Start of Fall Programming

Current plans involve a pilot (periodic review with the inclusion of a start date)
Using the sanctuary for both services at different times on a Sunday – referring to this as a ‘stacked’ model
Planning will be influenced by lead-up consultations with congregation stakeholder groups over the next few months
A fall start provides a runway for consultation and preparation

The Proposed Model

2 services will be held in the sanctuary in a stacked format on a Sunday Morning
This requires both services to shift start and end times
Both worship services will remain distinct in their worship style
Keep Sunday School and work to bolster opportunities for connections between the two services
Use and maximize the current facilities with an openness to the potential of physical changes

Facilitate Multiple Small Group Consultation Listening Sessions

Sunday School teachers
Tech team members (both services)
Worship teams
Choir
Coffee ministry
Greeters/Ushers
Library
Others?
General congregation sessions to follow

Timeline

April - 3 virtual/in-person sessions & launch of email feedback
May - 3 virtual/in-person sessions
May (end) - Deacons will review the suggestions and data from the consultations
June - Follow-up with congregational meetings and information meetings (possibly on Sunday mornings)
Summer – Detailed planning
September - Launch

Questions & Brief Discussion

15-20 minutes
24-hour rule
Can repeat questions into the microphone
Questions focused on the principles, process, and perhaps consider groups that should be consulted
Points that suggest alternative thoughts & ideas will be steered toward feedback through the email address or small group or congregational feedback sessions

Feedback

To send your feedback to the Service Structure Planning and Consultation Subcommittee, please email:servicestructurefeedback@bsbc.nb.ca.
