We do so by remembering 2 Corinthians 5:18-19:
“All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation.”
During the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation the church offices will be closed to commemorate this day and will reopen on Thursday October 1st during normal hours. The following programs will be cancelled for today:
Church Community Potluck (Resumes Oct 7)
Scouting Boys (Resumes Oct 7)

2. Thanksgiving Letter from the Pastor’s Office

3. Harvest for the Hungry 2026
Fall is here, and once again we have the opportunity to share God’s love with those in need, both within our church family and across the Greater Fredericton area.
Harvest for the Hungry, a ministry of our Social Action Team, invites our BSBC family to share in a tangible way with our community as we lead up to Thanksgiving. You are invited to either contribute financially by marking your giving (envelope or etransfer) with "Harvest for the Hungry" or to bring non-perishable food and household items to the church over the two weeks before Thanksgiving.
All donations will be shared between our New Life Ministry (supporting families who struggle to ‘make ends meet’) and the Greener Village Fredericton Food Bank.
Financial donation to the project can be made by simply designating your gift to “Harvest for the Hungry." Financial donations allow the opportunity of purchasing the much-needed items in bulk at a reduced cost, particularly as Greener Village has many partnerships with local suppliers. After Thanksgiving, these financial gifts will be divided evenly between the New Life ministry and Greener Village.
Here are the specific non-perishable requests from our New Life Ministry:
Spaghetti sauce
Spaghetti noodles
Soup
Canned vegetables
Canned meat
Cereal
Kraft dinner
Rice
Packaged items for kid’s lunches
Toilet Paper
We invite you to bring your ‘harvest’ to the Connections Centre on September 27, October 4, or before Thanksgiving Sunday, October 13, where it will be collected and ultimately distributed.
Thank you for making Christ’s love known through your cheerful giving and may God use our ‘harvest’ for His glory!
God is so good.

4. Called to Serve Event | Saturday, October 3
Called to Serve is an event for everyone. It is an Acadia Divinity College oral history project featuring women who were ordained by Baptist churches in Atlantic Canada between 1954 and 2024. Hear the stories of the calling and ministry of faithful people within the CBAC.
If you have any questions, please contact mark@bsbc.nb.ca.
Join the Zoom presentation on Saturday, October 3 at 2:00 pm by clicking the link below:
5. Stained Glass Windows: Construction Starts October 5
Parallel Studios will start work on Monday, October 5th, to remove the south-facing second storey stained glass windows. This will include set up of scaffolding in the sanctuary parking lot (area accessed from York Street). This will enable the dismantling and removal of the second storey sanctuary windows and may involve set up of lifting equipment from time to time which will further affect parking availability. Parking will be returned to normal once the removal and closure of the openings are complete.
The work will also affect the balcony pews beneath the south-facing windows which will be unavailable for use during construction.
Once the windows are removed, the openings will be covered with temporary plywood boarding, complete with weather gaskets and removable caulking. This will deliver a weather-tight seal. Parallel Studios will return in the spring to re-install the restored windows.
Parallel Studios intends to be on site from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm daily, except Sundays. Their expectation is that their on-site work will be completed on or before Friday, October 16th.
We thank you for your cooperation and patience in allowing this work to run without interference.
Your Board of Management
6. New Fall Music Ministry: October 6
As a result of our recent survey and registration process, a new singing group for students in Grade 3 to 8 will have their first rehearsal on Tuesday, October 6 from 6:00 to 6:55 pm in the choir room. It will be led by Mr. Steeves.
All interested singers are encouraged to come, sign up, and join in.
We will continue to leave the survey open for another week, hoping to add older students in a 7:00 pm Handbell/Chime group.
For further questions and inquiries, please contact David Steeves.
7. Ordination Service for Pastor Changbin Tian: October 25
We are thrilled to announce the Ordination Service for Pastor Changbin Tian on Sunday, October 25 at 7:00 pm in the sanctuary.
No matter which congregation you represent, we invite you to come along and celebrate this wonderful milestone for Pastor Changbin and our Chinese congregation here at BSBC.
Congratulations Pastor Changbin!

9. DivorceCare Support Group | Tuesdays
No matter how amiable, separation or divorce is one of the most painful experiences. A DivorceCare group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions and challenges of separation and divorce. During this 13-week support group program, you’ll discover what to expect in the days ahead and navigate your personal healing journey. Since separation and divorce can be messy and confusing, you’ll learn helpful ways of coping with the challenges and navigating relationships—and gain solid support each step of the way.
At each weekly meeting, you will view a video featuring respected counselors, pastors, and healthcare professionals on divorce and recovery topics; plus, you’ll hear relatable personal stories of separation and divorce. After that is a small group discussion to allow people time to talk, share support, and personally apply what they learned on the video. Everyone will receive a book to take home filled with valuable exercises for navigating their personal road to recovery.
Topics include how to manage divorce-related emotions such as loneliness, anxiety, bitterness, anger, and grief; how to cope with the changes in your life and relationships; the importance of forgiveness; and how to navigate legal and financial issues.
If you are walking through separation or divorce, we invite you to attend. For more details, and to find and register for a group, visit divorcecare.org. For details at the group offered at Brunswick Street Baptist Church, 161 York Street, Fredericton, NB E3B 3N8, please contact Director of DivorceCare, Pauline Harvey, at PaulineHarvey@execulink.com.
10. BSBC Christmas Pageant 2026: Coming Soon!

Younger children will join the angel choir, while older elementary and middle school students may take on speaking roles. It’s a great opportunity for kids to help share the Christmas story together.

11. Green Hill Lake Camp
Hey! Greetings from GHLC!
It’s hard to believe another summer has come and gone! We are so thankful for another incredible season of ministry and for the staff, volunteers, churches, donors, families, and friends who helped make it possible.
This summer we continued to see campers of all ages coming through our gates, to true new things, meet new friends and encounter God. Seeds were planted, meaningful conversations happened, and we celebrated with campers who made decisions to follow Jesus. Thank you for being part of what God is doing at Green Hill!
Here are a few ways to stay connected with GHLC this fall:
Rob Tingley Memorial, Golf Classic: October 3, 2026
Enjoy a full round of golf while raising funds to help children experience the life-changing ministry of Green Hill Lake Camp and to support kids in need overseas.
Learn More: Golf | Green Hill Lake Camp
GHLC Women’s Fall Retreat: October 23 to 25
Step away from the rush, rest in God’s presence, and leave refreshed, connected, and reminded of His faithfulness.

Fall Projects at GHLC
We don’t have official fall work days planned this year, but there are always projects on the go! If you or a group from your church would be interested in volunteering for a day or two, we would love to hear from you. Call the camp office at 506-463-2267 or email info@greenhill.ca, and we can chat about what needs to be done.
Christmas at the Lake: November 21
Save the date for our annual family dinner, Christmas at the Lake, on Saturday, November 21st from 4:00 to 6:00 pm at GHLC! Join us for a turkey dinner, Christmas carols, special music, a children’s program, and a great evening of fellowship as we celebrate the Christmas season together. An offering will be received in support of the ongoing ministry of GHLC.
We are so thankful for the many people and churches who continue to make this ministry possible. As we head into another season, we hope you’ll continue to join us in the ministry here at GHLC – through prayer, giving, volunteering, attending events, and simply sharing what God is doing at camp.
See you at the Lake!
Praise Him \0/
Amy Gordon
Executive Director
The Myles Family will soon be serving in Chiba, Japan with Teach Beyond Canada with a focus on Church Planting. Please keep Reuben, Leah and Theo Myles in your prayers.
Their prayer requests as they embark on their journey are as follows:
Praise that they have a place to stay and are adjusting well. Theo is adjusting really well! He loves all the parks and accommodations for children here in chiba.
Pray for financial discernment and provision. There are a lot of hidden fees for foreigners trying to do visas, housing, buying a car, etc in Japan. We’re asking the Lord to provide on a vehicle and furniture for our house in-budget as we adjust to these rising living costs.
If you would like to receive their newsletter or to provide financial support, please reach out to Reuben Myles at reuben.myles@kingswood.edu.

13. Volunteering Opportunities
A. Sunday Streets Muffin Ministry: October 25
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 October 25 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.
B. Security Volunteers Needed
We’re seeking dedicated volunteers to help keep our church safe and welcoming on weekday evenings from 6:00 to 9:00 pm. Your presence makes a real difference — creating a warm, secure space where everyone feels at home. If you’re ready to step up and be part of this vital ministry, reach out to Mike Bech or call the church office at 506-458-8348 to learn more or sign up.
C. Third Sunday Supper: 2027 Monthly Schedule!
On the Third Sunday of each month, we host a supper for those in need in our community. We are now looking to fill our 2027 monthly calendar with folks willing to prepare a meal for our Third Sunday Supper (TSS) guests. At this time all months are available, and we are anxious to fill the first few months, to get us going. We'd appreciate if you would prayerfully consider helping out with this ministry that the Lord has truly blessed for so many years.
Please contact Judy Thompson, TSS Meal Coordinator, at 506-238-9903 or judypaul1088@gmail.com. If you wish to serve in another way, just come along on the third Sunday of each month at 4:00pm. Thank you and God Bless You!

17. This Sunday’s Worship Gathering | Sanctuary | October 4
This Sunday, we will be sharing at the Lord’s Table for Communion. Music for the Traditional Service will be offered by the Sanctuary Choir. The worship team for the Contemporary service will be led by Jon Wilton.
During the Contemporary Service, our team for Children’s ministries are as follows:
Nursery – Elizabeth Wilson, Sophy Shi
Preschool – Sarah Duguid, Eunice Nti
KidzTown – Aaron MacLaggan, Sam Essel
Dr. Keith Bodner will be preaching in both services. Of his sermon he says: “As our fall series on navigating change and disruption continues through our survey of the book of Acts, last week in chapter 13 we studied a remarkable series of events. In the aftermath of a global crisis and a difficult season of persecution, the first official enterprise to share the message about faith in the risen Lord Jesus is launched: an ethnically and socially diverse group of leaders from Antioch are directed to commission Paul and Barnabas, and having been set apart by the Spirit they arrive in Cyprus. Confronted by a sorcerer as they share the word with the Roman proconsul, Paul’s words and actions in this episode remind us that fresh expressions of the gospel are often met with antagonism and spiritual warfare, but interpreters often suggest that the victory in this story foreshadows the triumph of the gospel over all adversaries. Nonetheless, there will be further obstacles and adversity as we move into Acts 14 this week, as the tour of Paul and Barnabas enters unfamiliar territory with healing, proclamation, and a mixed response to the message of the gospel. After a dramatic healing in the city of Lystra, the apostle Paul is violently attacked and left for dead outside the city, but he miraculously survives and returns to the city. Among the questions we will explore in this study, a central issue surrounds suffering and tribulation: how should BSBC respond to Paul’s words, ‘We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God’?”
We look forward to seeing you for a hope-filled Sunday as we worship together. Whether in-person or online, be sure to join us this Sunday morning for our Traditional Service at 9:30 am or our Contemporary Service at 11:15 am.
18. New Service Structure
Our Traditional Worship Service will be at 9:30 to 10:30 am. Connection Time will be from 10:30 to 11:15 am. Sunday School will be from 10:35 to 11:10 am. Our Contemporary Worship Service will be from 11:15 am to 12:30 pm.
Children’s Ministry
With our new stacked service structure, there will be no childcare or children’s programming during the 9:30 am Traditional Service. Sunday School will be slotted in the Connection Time period from 10:35 am to 11:10 am. At the main entrance there will be activity packs available in the vestibule at the back of the sanctuary, and the nursery, with a livestream screen, will remain open for parents to use with their children. Preschool and KidzTown will run during the 11:30 am Contemporary Service, with newborns to 2 years in the Nursery, ages 2 to 4 years in the Preschool Farm Room, and Kindergarten to Grade 5 in KidzTown.
