1. Fall Business Meeting: November 18
The moderator is calling a Fall Business Meeting for Wednesday, November 18, 2026 at 6:30 pm in the sanctuary. Items to be discussed include reports from the Board of Deacons, Board of Management, and the ad hoc Constitution Committee.
The ad hoc Constitution Committee proposes the following changes to the BSBC Constitution:
As per Constitution+2026.pdf (click the link below for the full document), proposals to amend the church constitution were submitted to the BoM and BoD. An ad hoc constitution committee considered said amendments, and brought proposals to the BoM and the BoD. The proposed ADDITIONS of 2.4 and 2.5, and REPLACEMENT of 8.5.1, have been approved by both boards.
Church Polity
It is recommended to add the following clauses to the Church Polity (Form of Governance) section of the Constitution. These clauses affect not only business meetings of the Church, but also board, committee, and team meetings, as the groups deem appropriate. The language reflects current practice and does not suggest any changes to what is being done. It is a recognition of what we have already started to do during the pandemic at church business meetings, and other meetings. The intention is to explicitly allow people who cannot (or who choose not to) attend in person due to illness, infirmity, travel, or other reasons, to be able to attend virtually and be recognized as participating in the meeting. Their attendance is counted for quorum.
PROPOSED ADDITION
2.4 A meeting may be held by electronic means and/or a person who is otherwise eligible to attend a meeting in person may attend by electronic means, i.e. by using a supported method of electronic or telephonic communication that enables all persons attending the meeting to communicate with each other, including, without limitation, teleconferencing and computer network-based or internet-based communication platforms. The electronic means that are supported for a given meeting, if any, shall be communicated in advance.
2.5 If the organizers of a meeting have decided to allow virtual voting for the meeting, a person attending a meeting by electronic means who is entitled to vote at that meeting may vote by any electronic, telephonic, or other method that the meeting organizers have made available for that purpose.
Missions Committee
There is a desire to improve the continuity for the membership of the Missions Committee. It is recommended to achieve that by increasing the length of terms of the members from the Church and recommend that the terms of the members overlap but do not coincide.
Historically, there have been multiple missionary societies that participated in the Church with representation on the Missions Committee. There is currently only one missionary society that participates in the Missions Committee. The wording should reflect that to avoid confusion about the size of the Committee.
CURRENT
8.5.1 The Missions Committee shall consist of one (1) Church member representative appointed by each Missionary Society from its members, two (2) members of the Church elected each year for a term of two (2) years and one (1) representative appointed by the Board of Deacons from its members.
PROPOSED CHANGES
8.5.1 The Missions Committee shall consist of one (1) Church member representative appointed annually by the Women's Missionary Society from its members, one (1) representative appointed annually by the Board of Deacons from its members, and two (2) additional members of the Church. The additional members of the Church shall be elected by the Church for a term of three (3) years. Generally, the terms of the two additional members should not start the same year to allow for overlap and sharing of experience during transitions.
2. Thank You From Reverend Changbin Tian
Dear brothers and sisters,
Thank you so much for coming to witness my ordination. It is a profound grace to serve as a servant of God. I am grateful to the Lord for His constant companionship and guidance, which have brought me to this day. As it is written in 1 Corinthians 15:10 (NIV): "But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect... but the grace of God that was with me."
I would like to express my special thanks to the pastors, staff, and the entire congregation of BSBC for your ongoing care, support, and prayers for our Chinese Ministry. Thank you all for the support and assistance you have provided throughout my ordination process; God is aware of every prayer and every act of kindness you have offered. Both I and our Chinese Ministry are a testament—a response from God—to your prayers.
I am also deeply grateful to the brothers and sisters of our Chinese Ministry; your companionship, patience, and forbearance have helped me reach this point. My heartfelt thanks go to my wife, Jian Zhang, and our children—Elaine, Leon, and Ryan—for their unwavering support; they have always stood firmly by my side.
As I continue my journey of following God, I trust that He will keep shaping and molding me. My past experiences serve as a witness to His presence, and I look forward to continuing to testify to God’s faithfulness, love, and righteousness in the days ahead.
May our BSBC family continue to shine as a bright light within the community of Fredericton.
To God be all the glory!
Thank you all, and may God richly bless you!
With gratitude In Christ,
Rev. Changbin Tian
3. Trunk or Treat was a Success!
On Sunday, October 25, we hosted our 6th Annual Trunk or Treat Event, and it was another successful event! In our George Street parking lot, we had 14 decorated vehicles and 5 games tables where participants were able to collect treats and fellowship with friends, family, dogs, doubles, and lions! We saw about 115 trick or treaters from our community.
Thank you for your donation of time, energy, treats, and otherwise for all of your help! To be a part of Trunk or Treat in 2027, please contact Pastor Nikki at nikki@bsbc.nb.ca.
4. Remembrance Day Observance
As Remembrance Day approaches, we invite our church family to join us in taking time during our service on Sunday to remember and honour the men and women who have served and sacrificed in times of war, conflict, and peacekeeping efforts. Their courage and commitment have helped preserve the freedoms we enjoy today, and Remembrance Day provides an important opportunity to reflect with gratitude and respect.
We encourage everyone to wear a poppy as a visible sign of remembrance and appreciation for those who have served our country. As we gather for worship, let us pause to remember, give thanks, and pray for peace in our world.
Please note that the church office will be closed on Wednesday, November 11, in observance of Remembrance Day. Regular office hours will resume on Thursday November 12.
5. Happy 80th Birthday Doris Thomson! You’re Invited! November 7
Join us as we celebrate Doris Thomson's 80th birthday on Saturday, November 7, 2026, from 1 to 3 pm in the Brunswick Street Baptist Church Gym.
Come share your best wishes, enjoy fellowship, and help honor this special milestone. No gifts, please. Your presence and warm wishes are all that are needed to make the day memorable.
We hope to see you there!
6. Reduce the Risk Training: November 8
On Sunday, November 8, Pastor Nikki and John Stewart will be hosting a session of our Reducing The Risk training for those who serve with the vulnerable population in our church’s ministries. Our training will take place between the Worship services during our Connection Time on the Third Floor from 10:30 to 11:10 am.
If you have not completed this training and are currently serving or wish to serve with ministries offered to children, youth or adults, please join us on November 8. There will be light refreshments, so please let Pastor Nikki know that you will be attending.
PVSCRC
Please note we are in the process of updating our leader and volunteer database, checking for expiry dates for Police Vulnerable Sector Criminal Reference Checks (PVSCRC) which need to be updated every 4 years. If your PVSCRC has expired or is nearing expiration you will be receiving an email from Pastor Nikki letting you know that a request letter has been printed and placed in the mail slot in the Connection Centre. Once you’ve received your letter you can take it to the police station and request a new PVSCRC. When you receive your new PVSCRC please drop it off at the church office. Thank you for giving your time and energy to our programs and ministries at BSBC. We appreciate you.
7. WMS Monthly Meeting: November 9
The Women’s Missionary Society (WMS) will have their monthly meeting on Monday, November 9 at 1:30 pm on the third floor of the Family Life Centre. Our program will be 2026 Baptist Women World Day of Prayer (theme: Living the Good News/ Faith In Action).

8. Advent Crafternoon: November 21
Join us for an unforgettable afternoon of creativity, laughter, and festive fun for all ages on Saturday, November 21 from 1:30 to 3:30 pm. Whether you're a seasoned crafter or just love getting your hands messy with glitter and glue, Advent Crafternoon is the perfect way to kick off the holiday season with friends and family.
Explore a wide variety of craft stations—there’s something for everyone! From simple projects for little hands to more advanced creations like our Macrame Angel or Christmas Wreath, you’ll leave with handmade treasures and warm memories.

We will also supply some cookies, coffee, tea and juice. If you are able, please bring a finger-food dessert to share.
Each craft comes with a small fee to cover expenses. You can pay in cash with your registration form, at the door on November 21, or by e-transfer to giving@bsbc.nb.ca. Make sure to put “Advent Craft” in the memo line of your e-transfer.
Don’t miss this joyful celebration of creativity, community, and Christmas spirit. We can’t wait to craft with you! If you are willing to volunteer, please email Naomi in the church office at naomi.phillips@bsbc.nb.ca.
9. Green Hill Lake Camp Christmas at the Lake – November 21
As the Christmas season approaches, we invite you to be praying for the upcoming Christmas at the Lake event at Green Hill Lake Camp on November 21. This special day provides an opportunity to celebrate the joy and hope of Christmas while connecting with others in a Christ-centered environment.
Please pray for the camp staff and volunteers as they prepare, that the event would run smoothly and that all who attend would be encouraged in their faith. We also encourage you to consider joining the Green Hill Lake Camp team for this meaningful event. Your presence and support can help make it a memorable and impactful day for everyone involved.
10. Harvest For Hungry Update
Thank-you to everyone who donated financially or through nonperishable items to our Harvest for the Hungry collection for Thanksgiving. Thanks to your generous donations, the New Life cupboards are not nearly as bare, and we were able to also give many bags of groceries to our neighbours outside the church through the Greener Village Community foodbank. You have generously given $4,360.00 which will be split between the New Life Ministry and the Greener Village Food Bank. Your donations help at a time when many are struggling to pay bills, put food on the table and afford necessities.
Thank-you for your support.
BSBC Social Action Team
11. Library Artwork: Handprints
The Library Committee is trying to revamp the children and youth section in the library. We will be having a mural/decorative logo placed on the blue wall, but we thought it would so fun to include the kids/youth.
This will be the final week for any kids to have the opportunity to paint their hands, which will then be part of the wall sticker, along with their first name. The hand painting operation will take place during Preschool, KidzTown, and Youth Thursdays.
If you do not wish for your child to take part of this event, please notify the office, Sam, the Children’s Ministry Coordinator or Pastor Nikki.
12. Baked Goods for Connection Time
Each Sunday, our church family gathers in the gym for Connection Time, a wonderful opportunity to enjoy fellowship, conversation, and refreshments before and after worship. These moments help strengthen relationships, welcome newcomers, and encourage one another in Christ.
"Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing."
1 Thessalonians 5:11
To help provide refreshments for everyone, we are seeking donations of 10 dozen mini treats each week. We are grateful for those who are willing to share their time and talents through baking and preparing refreshments for our congregation.
Appropriate items include:
Mini muffins
Small cookies
Mini croissants
Banana bread (sliced)
Pumpkin loaf (sliced)
Rolls or sweet breads (sliced)
Fresh fruit that can be easily sliced and shared
Whether homemade or store-bought, every contribution is appreciated and helps create a welcoming atmosphere where friendships can grow and faith can be nurtured.

Thank you for prayerfully considering how you might contribute to this important ministry of hospitality. Your generosity helps make Connection Time a meaningful part of our Sunday gatherings.
