Our annual children’s Easter Party is coming up later this month! Parents and children K – Grade 5 are welcome to come out for an hour-long party to celebrate.

2. Holy Week at BSBC
Before we know it, Lent will give way to Holy Week leading us from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday. So that you can plan and help us share these events with those you know, here’s the plan for Holy Week 2023. You may not be able to attend all that is planned but we hope that you’ll add something to your life that have you intersect with Jesus’ Salvation Journey for us. May we have a spiritually invigorating Holy Week that has us saying, “amazing love, how can it be that thou my God should die for me!”
"If Easter says anything to us today, it says this:
You can put truth in a grave but it won't stay there."
Clarence W. Hall
Palm Sunday Morning Services • April 2, 10:30 a.m.
Did you know that “hosanna” can be interpreted “God, save us,” a cry for help. Or “God saves,” an affirmation of faith. In our services on Sunday, April 2, we’ll be affirming the salvation that God lavishes on us through His Son, Jesus Christ. Prepare for a celebration that ends with thankful hearts gathering at communion table. At the communion table we will affirm, “God saves.”
Palm Sunday Evening: MULTI-MEDIA-‘MESSIAH’ • April 2, 6:30 p.m.
Since April 13, 1742, Handel’s masterpiece, MESSIAH, has been a means of proclaiming the truth of Scripture in song. Created in three parts, MESSIAH focuses on the prophecy/coming of Christ (Christmas), the sacrifice/resurrection of Jesus (Easter) and, finally, the gift of eternal life offered through these actions of Christ (Heaven).
On Palm Sunday evening, we will focus on musical material from Part 2 and Part 3 (not the whole). As a live expression of worship, Pascale Butt (soprano), Beth Snow (mezzo-soprano) and David Steeves (tenor) will sing these scriptural solos accompanied by our guest organist, Alice Boyd, Music Director at Christ Church Parish Church. In addition, on the big screens in the sanctuary, you’ll view recordings of choirs singing the choral selections that knit the Scriptural revelation together. The evening will end with everyone assembled joining our soloists in singing the majestic Hallelujah Chorus.
This will be a very special event and we hope that you will come out and be part of it. We note that due to copyright issues with the recordings, we will not be able to offer this worship concert on Youtube. It will only be offered in person. The offering from this service, after expenses, will go to our church’s ongoing work with Fredericton’s unhoused citizens.
Maundy Thursday Communion/Tenebrae Service • April 6, 6:30 p.m.
On the Thursday of Holy Week, Jesus gathered with his disciples in the upper room. There he 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. This year’s Maundy Thursday service will be held in the Sanctuary and will include the ministry of a vocal ensemble whose singing will lead you in worship and whose offerings will underscore the meaning of the evening. 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 heart’s prepared to gather at Calvary.
Good Friday Service • April 7, 10:30 a.m.
Personal experience of God’s love for us in Jesus is what makes the Friday of Holy Week, good. Scandalous torture. The Lamb of God offers the full and final sacrifice for the sin of humanity. In song, Scripture and sermon we’ll consider the cost to Jesus of the forgiveness we can receive through faith in Him. Dr. Keith will be bringing the message. Our worship team and choir will lead us. It’s said that we can’t fully understand the victory of Easter Sunday without a focus on Jesus’ willing sacrifice on Good Friday. We will “behold” that Lamb of God who continues to take away the sin of the world.
Easter Saturday Celebration with Atlantic Brass • April 8, 3 p.m.
There are New Testament passages that speak of a trumpet. And they are offered in the context of the resurrection of believers when Christ returns. But Jesus’ resurrection was heralded by an earthquake and so it seems appropriate that a ‘blast of brass’ would help lift our spirits from the darkness of the previous days of Holy Week.
On Easter Saturday evening, our special guests will be Atlantic Brass who have been with us before and whose concerts have delighted listeners. Their concerts span a range of emotions, but on this particular Saturday night, the emphasis will be on celebration. These talented musicians welcome you to join them in our sanctuary on the eve of resurrection Sunday.
The offering from the evening, after expenses, will be in support of our church family’s work with Fredericton’s unhoused citizens.
Please note that due to copyright issues, this concert will only be offered in person.
Easter Sunday Celebration Stations • April 9, 8:00 a.m.
Join us in the sanctuary for opening Scripture and prayer and then head off to visit the Easter morning Celebration Stations which will be located on the first floor of the Family Life Center. At each station you’ll have opportunity to engage in an action that affirms the implications of Jesus being alive for us! Pastor Ross and Pastor Nikki will be your hosts. When finished, come to the gym for breakfast!
Easter Sunday Pancake Breakfast • April 9, 8:30 a.m.
Many times we read of Jesus gathering with his disciples around the table. So, on his day of resurrection, we will, too. The menu features: pancakes and syrup, hot cross buns, fresh fruit, juice, coffee and tea all served in the gym. But we need your help…by making your reservation if you are planning on joining us.
You can sign up using the reservation sheets on the welcome table in the sanctuary and gym foyers or on the desk of the Connections Center
You can call the church office to register (506-458-8348)
You can email the church office to register (naomi.phillips@bsbc.nb.ca)
Please make your reservations by Thursday, April 6, 5 p.m. Thank you for planning ahead.
Easter Sunday Morning Group Gatherings • April 9, 9:30 a.m.
Between the breakfast and our services we’re offering you two special events. The first will be in KidzTown and is especially geared to children/families. Pastors Ross and Nikki are planning games and activities that create a joy-filled time together. For those who might not be able to take that much excitement, please gather in the Family Room where you’ll enjoy a Easter video presentation and activity. Breakfast goers, as we need to set up the gym for the morning service, breakfast will finish at 9:30 a.m. and we’ll need you to engage in a gathering. Thanks for helping in this way.
Easter Morning Worship Celebrations • April 9, 10:30 a.m.
Our Easter celebrations in the gym and sanctuary will be brimming with joy! 1 Peter 1:3 says: Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. So, expect services of “praise” and of thankfulness – given what this day means – the possibility of a ‘new birth into a living hope.’ We’ll welcome participation by members of The East Coast Brass. “Christ the Lord is risen today! Alleluia!”
Flower Donations for Easter Sunday Morning
We invite you to help us celebrate Jesus resurrection by placing spring plants in memory or honour of your loved ones. You can make arrangements through the church office OR using the link below. Please be sure, when remitting your $15/plant, to identify your gift “Easter Flowers” so that your donation will be credited to the correct account. Thank you. Deadline for donations is Wednesday, April 5. These will be acknowledged in the pre-service slide shows on Easter Sunday morning and then, in this newsletter on Wednesday, April 12.
Easter Offering Goal
Each year, at our February Annual General Meeting, the congregation sets a financial goal for special Celebration Offerings. A means of inviting our church family to make a unique offering as a means of celebrating, in this case, the good news of Easter. Our goal for 2023 is $10,000. Thank you for considering such a gift. Visit our website for details.
3. Our Partners in Mission
We’re so pleased to provide this newsy update sent to the chair of our Missions Committee, Brian McEwing, from Rebekah Sears on her recent mission travels in Africa. Join us in praying for Rebekah and her continued work under the banner of Micah 6:8.
Dear Brian,
Hello from sunny Ottawa! Its been a month since I left on my trip and now I’ve been back for a week and a bit.
Just wanting to report that everything went well and off without a hitch. We had incredibly productive and good times with our partners in Zimbabwe, DR Congo and Rwanda. Our goal was to discover how peace programming connects to our work in general, and the need for holistic programming and from all three countries we heard loud and clear, “there is no development without peace and no peace without bread/development!”
In Zimbabwe we visited several partners doing Conservation agriculture and seeing excellent results, despite the impacts of climate change, which were pretty prominent in Zimbabwe. We also talked about plenty of ways to integrate peace into this work, especially as Zimbabwe enters election time, which is often dicey, but we met with many partners working in the area of peace as well. They gave us a break for our last day and sent us to Victoria Falls, which is a thing to behold for sure!
In Congo we met with so many partners, many interacting with the ongoing conflict and the impacts in real time. We met with multiple displaced communities, as well as displaced communities being hosted by local communities, i.e. the project that BSBC helped support. I’ve attached some photos of that projects plus a video of the participants greeting us when we came to visit. We met with communities who had been displaced by the volcanic eruption two years ago and the gov’t has yet to rehouse them, and now they are hosting people who have been displaced by the group M23 and the recent violence. It was heavy stuff, displacement on displacement. We also met with organizations working on reconciliation and trauma healing with many of these communities. One of the biggest challenges they have is maintaining contact and support with communities currently under M23 control, and where there are other armed groups active. We met with one partner that engages with armed groups directly in an attempt to convince them to demobilize and join communities. It was a heavy meeting indeed but really appreciative of this incredibly difficult work. A lot of the violence and armed group efforts are tied to foreign interests, including who controls the rich mineral resources in Congo. To many of the armed groups, and countries that are funding their efforts, it makes sense to keep Congo in conflict as it’s easier to exploit the resources. There are Canadian companies amidst the mining companies active in Congo. Finally, and probably the biggest highlight was connecting with a program running across multiple projects called Women Situation Rooms. These are based on a model that came out of Liberia for election monitoring and empowering women to be leaders for peace in communities, and both women and men are being trained in conflict mediation and leadership and are leading the way for building peace at the local level. The groups have both men and women, but the leadership is women, and we witnessed the stories of so many women who have become leaders for peace and justice in their communities, when it comes to conflict within families and within the communities, creating cultures of peace within entire communities. It was definitely a highlight. All of the partners we met with have strong connections to the local churches and asked us to continue to pray. As we left Congo, the tensions have seemed to rise quite a bit, more people are being displaced and the situation is deteriorating. We need to keep up our prayers for Congo!
In Rwanda, we spent most of our time with the Peace and Development Network, or PDN, a network of 5 organizations that all started in reconciliation work following the genocide and have gone on to be leaders in both peace and development work. These include Friends communities (Quakers) and other NGOs who are leaders in bringing together the themes of peace and development. They range from education and training, including children’s literacy and teaching children principles of peace, to addressing root causes of conflict, such as the lack of food security. They’re all Christian agencies, connected with the church and relying on theology and God’s calling for their work. And of course I was able to see some old and new friends in Rwanda, connecting with the organization I worked for, and seeing old friends, and having dinner with Andre and finding out all about his work!
All in all, it was an amazing trip. I’m still very much processing the learnings and experience. God kept my mind safe and cared for on the trip and kept us physically safe and healthy as well. I’m so thankful for the opportunity to visit with so many partners, and so appreciative of all of the prayers and accompaniment of you folks at BSBC. I’m happy to talk more about this trip anytime, and do feel free to forward this on to anyone who was involved in missions or leadership!
In peace,
Bekah
4. Bereavement
Gordeline Satchell
Our sympathies to Damion, Erica, Dominic and Danielle Kelly on the passing of Damion’s mother, Gordeline Satchell on January 31, 2023 in Stormville, NY. Born January 15, 1940, in Manchester Jamaica W.I. Daughter of late Viola Johnson and Harold Satchell. Ms Lyn is survived by her 8 Children, 15 Grandchildren, 14 Great Grandchildren, 1 Great , Great, Grandchild; nieces and nephews. Miss Lyn was a devoted Mother, a praying woman and an active member in her Church community.
She was kind, loving, wise and had a great sense of humor. She will be missed by her family, friends, and whomever had the opportunity and pleasure of knowing her. A private Memorial Service will be held at her residence in Stormville NY on February 8, 2023, and a public Memorial Service at the Worship Centre on March 4, 2023, at 2pm in St Catherine, Jamaica W.I.
Damion writes: I am very thankful that we were able to visit her on our recent holidays as I had not seen her in person for 3 years, and she was not well. The day after we left in January, she had a stroke, and eventually things took a turn for the worst. She was 83 years old.
My flesh and my heart fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Psalm 73:26
Jane (Willet) Hayward
Our sympathies to the family of the Late Jane (Willett) Hayward who passed unexpectedly at the Oromocto Public Hospital on March 4 after a lengthy hospitalization. Jane was a woman of faith and a longstanding member of BSBC.
The eldest of four children, Jane treasured her relationship with her brother, Gord, and her sisters, Connie and Dianne. After High School, Jane attended Teachers’ College in Fredericton and upon graduation, taught in Saint John for a few years. She was employed for most of her working life at the University of New Brunswick with food services and would often share funny and touching stories relating to her experiences there with her colleagues and all the students she had the pleasure of meeting. This is where she met the love of her life, Ralph. They married in 1981 and happily lived in Ralph’s childhood home in Lincoln until 2009 when they moved into town.
Jane is survived by her brother Gord (Martha) Willett and their children Andrew (Stacey), Matthew (Ruth), and Sara; brother-in-law Dave Doherty and his children Cary (Rod) Norquay, Ryan, and Denny; and by Dianne (Rev. Paul) Thompson and their children Nathan (Jim), Joel (Marie), and Leah (Eric) Giggie. Also, by great nieces and nephews Sophie, Kate, Luke, Jack, Kaitlyn, Lauren, Naomi, Hannah, James, Ben, Joey, Eli, Henry, Eloise, Landon, and Talon. Jane was predeceased by her husband, Ralph Hayward, her sister, Connie Doherty (Willett), and her parents, Donald and Dorothy Willett.
A memorial service will be held at a later date. Full obituary.
Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain,
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
Proverbs 30:30

9. March Senior’s Luncheon
Due to the Ladies’ Banquet being on the third weekend in March, we’re moving the March Senior’s Luncheon to Monday, March 27, Noon in the gym. Thanks for noting this change in your calendar. Stay tuned for registration.
10. Sunday’s Worship Gatherings
The gym worship service will be under the musical leadership of our Dunfield/Akalusi team. In the sanctuary the service will feature musical leadership by the Sanctuary Choir and soloist, Beth Snow.
In both services we’ll welcome Brian McEwing to offer this month’s “His Name is Power” segment, led by the chair of our Deacons, Denise Mersereau.
In the gym, Dr. Keith will be continuing his series in the gospel of Mark. This week, he offers a sermon entitled, From Prayer to Compassion, looking at Mark 1:35-45. Of this sermon, he writes: Psalm 103 is an evocative poem about restoration, and it begins with an intense call to recognize divine goodness at the individual and corporate levels: “Praise the LORD, my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion.” The poet of this psalm reflects on the unfairness of God, who so often does not treat us as we deserve. Out of the depth of divine grace, the prayer of Psalm 103 is that the people of God would look outward with mercy toward a fallen world. Notably, both prayer and compassion loom large in the closing sections of Mark chapter 1. Even in the midst of demonic confrontations and abundant healings, why is there so much attention on Jesus withdrawing in prayer, and what can we learn from this dynamic early in the gospel narrative? The other main event in this section of Mark 1 revolves around a leper, an outcast who has unshakeable confidence in the character of Jesus. Most lepers were scrupulously avoided in the first century, but Jesus reaches out with a healing touch, and invites to explore the meaning of compassion in our service this morning.
In the sanctuary, Pastor Greg will offer the next installment in our series: Things Jesus Didn’t Say. This Sunday in a sermon entitled, Life is Always Fair, Right? In preparation, have a look at Jesus’ parable in Matthew 20:1-16. This is certainly a study in challenging the concept of fairness.
Whether in-person or online, we hope that you will join us for our worship services this coming Sunday morning, March 12.
11. Ways to Love Fredericton
The Bible says a lot about love. For sure, many go to John 3:16 - For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life. When we consider God’s love, we can’t separate it from His giving. And, when we think of the role believers are to play in sharing God’s love – we often think of giving.
Your Social Action Team is suggesting some ways you can love/give in support of our church family who minister on a weekly basis to the homeless in our city. We invite you to be partners in their work by loving/giving to provide practical relief in the coldest part of the year.
If you are someone who likes to provide practical help with supplies, here’s what we’d suggest:
Bottled Water: We are wanting to build up our stock of bottled water which is a regular part of this ministry all through the year. We welcome you to purchase personal sized bottled water and bring it to the Connections Center and we’ll move it to our stock room for use as the weeks go on.
Socks: This is a real need for folks who are not housed. A clean, dry pair of socks helps overall wellbeing. We would be grateful for new socks for both men and for women. Warm and thick socks that pull up on the leg (not athletic socks). Should you be able to help in this way, please leave your gifts in the white laundry baskets in the Connections Center.
Financial Gifts are always welcome. As this ministry goes forward there are times when specific items need to be purchased. Some of these items we are happy to purchase based on the experience of our Street Level Team. If you are able to help in this way, please be sure to identify your gift for “Street Ministry”.
Thank you for considering if one of these options may be your way of partnering with our Street Level ministry team and be an expression of love in the name of our God who gives.
Your Social Action Team
