Spring is here...so summer is sure to follow! Our New Life ladies and other church ministries have six children that would love to go to Green Hill Lake Camp this summer.

We will also have the pleasure of having Reverand Ross Watters as a Bible Study Leader at the Atlantic Christian Ashram in Nova Scotia! Come alone or with your family!

Check out this video below:

Nova Scotia Christian Ashram: July 9 – 14, 2026

13. Oasis: August 6 to 8

Oasis is the annual gathering of the Canadian Baptists of Atlantic Canada (CBAC), a family of churches spread all over Atlantic Canada. CBAC churches send pastors and delegates to Oasis.

Each August, we gather to deepen relationships, build community, learn tools for thriving in ministry, worship together, make decisions around budgets, and vision for the future. OASIS is also a time to celebrate God’s faithfulness and our shared mission. Join us for the 180th Annual gathering this August. OASIS will be held August 6-8, 2026 on the Acadia University campus in Wolfville, Nova Scotia.

Delegates for BSBC

To be a delegate for BSBC, you must be a member of BSBC. Based on our membership, we can send 10 delegates. If you are not a member, you can start the process for membership or you can attend OASIS as a guest. Guests can participate in everything but cannot vote on business.

At present, we have 5 members registered as OASIS delegates. Are you interested in being one of our delegates to OASIS? We are able to provide a stipend of $200 to cover your registration and help with expenses. If you would like to become a member or if you are able to attend, please contact Naomi in the church office (naomi.phillips@bsbc.nb.ca) and she will complete your registration.

14. Social Action Team (SAT) Refugee Family Weekly Update: Arriving June 12

We are excited to be imminently anticipating the long‑awaited arrival of the Syrian refugee family for whom we submitted a sponsorship application in 2023, they will be arriving in Halifax on June 11th and then traveling by bus to Fredericton on June12th. We are looking forward to greeting them at the Maritime Bus Station at 105 Dundonald Street, here in Fredericton, around 6:30 PM on June 12. Since they are living in Lebanon and in the midst of the Middle East conflicts, their travel could be delayed, but please join us in praying for their safe arrival here to Fredericton.  

Please see the separate news article for pantry items to start them with full cupboards and some fresh food for the fridge next week too.
Thank you to the volunteers who have put huge efforts into preparing their rental house for their arrival! If you are willing to help with moving furniture (June 6th), setting up their rental and helping support their settlement to make Fredericton home once they arrive, please reach out.

We are thankful to share that, to date (up to May 31st in person offering and up to May 31st online giving), the refugee fund has a balance of $44,320Thank-you! We are deeply grateful for this support. The estimated costs to support this family for our one year commitment are $52,300. We still need to raise over $8,000 before the end of our one year commitment. Thanks to you, our church family, we are making excellent progress at meeting our goal. We have enough to cover their start up costs and close to the first ten months of support, but the refugee fund needs your financial support to be able to cover the last part of their first year here. Please note that any funds in excess of this family's needs would go to future refugee sponsorship initiated and voted on by BSBC, the general refugee fund is not "attached" to any particular refugee sponsored by our church, which is why we call it the refugee fund rather than giving to a particular family or person. To donate, simply mark your giving with "refugee fund".

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

15. Social Action Team (SAT) Refugee Family: Pantry Supplies

‍Thanks very much to everyone who has helped with dry goods for our refugee family! We are now looking for people to commit to donations of fresh food with which to welcome them! Please deliver items to BSBC on the morning of Friday, June 12. These are the items we would like to put into the fridge/freezer to greet them:

Eggs

Onions

Tomatoes

Lettuce

Cucumbers

Carrots

Eggplant

Clementines

Halal chicken

Halal beef

Fish

Mozzarella cheese

Butter or ghee

To make a donation of fresh food, please contact Liz Smith at pigotsmith@gmail.com. Thank you for helping in this way!

A. Sunday Streets Muffin Ministry: July 10

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.

21. Service Structure Planning Update

As the Board of Deacons begins stakeholder sessions with groups involved with ministry about changes to the service structure, we will take notes during sessions to be held in April and May. The email address, servicestructurefeedback@bsbc.nb.ca, will also be used to receive feedback. We appreciate and are seeking solution-based feedback about the way forward.

Messages sent to the email address need to identify the name of the individual or individuals. All emails will be acknowledged as received. Emails will be received by the Service Structure Sub-Committee of the Board of Deacons (Peter Cook, Andrew Culberson, Liz Smith, and Stephen VanSlyke). They will be reviewed identifying themes. The contents of the emails will have identifying information and personal details removed. The analysis will include AI-powered tools to summarize session notes and emails. Emails, without identifying information, and the analysis will be shared with the Board of Deacons.

Board of Deacons Service Structure Subcommittee: Peter Cook, Andrew Culberson, Liz Smith, Stephen VanSlyke, and 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.

Getting Started

To download the app, you’ll need access to your Apple ID or Google Account information and password.

24. Church Center Directory

Hello BSBC Family,

We hope this message finds you well! We want to take a moment to thank you for your continued support and patience as we work to improve how we stay connected as a church community.

We’re excited to share that BSBC is now using a new online congregational directory that we hope will be more user-friendly and accessible for everyone. This updated directory will serve as a combined contact list and include our official list of Members – both Resident and Non-Resident – as well as Adherents and Guests.

To join the directory, each family member must contact Naomi in the church office at Naomi.Phillips@bsbc.nb.ca to receive their welcome email and get started. Thank you for hanging in with us as we navigate this shift. We truly appreciate your grace and flexibility as we move toward a more connected future. Blessings from the BSBC Church Office.
