1. Easter Letter from the Pastor’s Office

Dear Family,

A real theme for our family at Brunswick Street Baptist Church this year has been hope. As well as being the core verse for the Canadian Baptists of Atlantic Canada’s vision, a verse I have also cited often this last year has been Romans 15:13, which is:

‘May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace

as you trust in him, so that you may overflow

with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.’

I continue to find myself captivated by this verse. Recently, I have found myself reflecting on the word ‘overflow’. It’s interesting to me how the preface ‘over’ is so often associated with difficulties we face in life. Overwhelmed, overworked, overburdened, overtired, overstimulated, overloaded, overthinking… what if as followers of Jesus in a time where people can feel overcome with all the ‘overs’ of life, what if we could live in a place of ‘overflow’?

As we continue to move towards Easter, this time of great hope, words from Max Lucado’s book ‘Unshakable Hope: Building Our Lives on the Promises of God’ have been sticking with me.

“We are building our lives on the promises of God. Because his Word is unbreakable, our hope is unshakable. We do not stand on the problems of life or the pain in life. We stand on the great and precious promises of God.” “The question is not, will God keep his promises, but will we build our lives upon them?”

God has so much to say about hope and our identity. Hope of a life in all its fullness, of the presence of our God with us by the power of the Holy Spirit, day by day, plans to give us a hope and a future. We are given a new identity, adopted into His family, we have our sin wiped clean and are given a way back to God! In fact, as we are told in John 6:40:

"For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day."

Everyone. God’s will is for everyone. We are left with an amazing and enduring hope in all circumstances for all people. As followers of Jesus, we have a powerful, yet personal God who not only walks with us all the days of our lives but can even carry us through the valley of the shadow of death. God being with us in every moment of life through the Holy Spirit within us is the living hope that is the greatest gift we could ever receive! As Max Lucado also shares:

“Because Jesus is human, he understands you.

Because he is divine, he can help you.

He is uniquely positioned to carry us home.”

Jesus’ love and grace in our life is enough! Enough for you, yesterday, today and forever. He understands us, loves us, is with us and for us. His grace is enough in every circumstance, the question is, do we truly believe this and live like it is true? Do we see our identity and value so entangled in our belonging to the family of God, or does our own opinion of self and perspective on hope still get in the way? Jesus even asks this very kind of question in the Gospel of John after declaring His power where he says in John 11:25 – 26:

"Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die.

Do you believe this?'"

This commitment of God for us, despite our flaws and failures, our doubts and insecurities, our sin and living of life in the ‘overs’ is God’s grace given to us. God’s gift to us is not only life eternal, but His very presence with us now. Richard Rohr, the Catholic Priest, wrote a beautiful reflection on grace that I would like to share a section of, where he writes:

“The concept of grace is first called mercy, or ‘hesed’ in Hebrew: the ever-faithful, covenant-bound, infinite and eternal love of God. All God’s power for renewal and resurrection proceeds from this source, never from punishment. Jesus punishes nobody! I would go so far as to call grace the primary revelation of the entire Bible. If we miss this message, all the rest is distorted and even destructive. I cannot emphasize this strongly enough.”

As he says, if we miss that God is for everyone, that God loves everyone and that His grace is for the entire World, all creation, if we miss that Jesus is not for punishment but instead for the love and redemption of all and consequently gives this wonderful grace and love to everyone then as we have seen many times throughout history, the Bible can be used destructively for division or to support personal agendas rather than as a value system on how live in grace and love of all God has created.

Jesus is Good News for everybody, always! In the middle of the chaos and questions that this world and life poses, it might be the better weather, but the song ‘Three Little Birds’ by Bob Marley keeps going round my head. “Don’t worry about a thing, ‘cause every little thing is gonna be alright’. In a sense, that is what we can have hope in because of Jesus, and this hope can live in us by the power of the Spirit. In the end, everything will be all right. History is set on an inherently positive and hopeful tangent, because of the resurrection we have hope and truly can believe eventually that, ‘Every little thing is gonna be alright!’ You cannot quell the Good News! As author Clarence W. Hall says:

“The resurrection of Jesus changes the face of death for all His people. Death is no longer a prison, but a passage into God’s presence. Easter says you can put truth in a grave, but it won’t stay there. You can nail it to a cross, wrap it in winding sheets and shut it up in a tomb, but it will rise!”

May this hope that rises in all circumstances even in the face of death both define your Easter and your life as we continue to hope in the resurrection and the life we are given in Jesus and live by the Spirit.

Blessings of this special, wonderful and hopeful season,

Rev. Ross Watters

Lead Pastor


2. Easter Services and Events

Children’s Easter Party

Saturday, April 5 | 1:30 to 3:00 pm | Gym, Sanctuary

BSBC will be hosting our annual Children’s Easter Party on the afternoon of Saturday, April 5. All children, ages Pre-K to Grade 5, and their families are welcome! Please join us for games, crafts, and more as we look towards Easter Sunday!

East Coast Brass Concert

Saturday, April 12 | 3:00 – 4:30 pm | Sanctuary

Easter calls for a celebration! Since we were not able to secure Gabriel and his trumpet, we’ll have as our special guests East Coast Brass. Join us in-person on April 12 at 3:00 pm for a concert of exciting music for brass. Spanning many styles — there will be something for everyone. The offering goes to these talented musicians.

Palm Sunday Worship Services

Sunday, April 13 | 10:30 am | Contemporary, Traditional, and Mandarin

Join us on Palm Sunday as we continue to prepare for Easter. We recall the story of Jesus' entry into Jerusalem, greeted by people waving palm branches to celebrate the arrival of the King. It is a reminder to welcome Jesus into our hearts and to be willing to follow him afresh this season.

A Palm Sunday Evening Service of Music for Holy Week “Here is Love”

Sunday, April 13 | 6:30 pm | Sanctuary

You are invited to attend an evening service of music for Holy Week on Palm Sunday at Brunswick Street Baptist Church. The Sanctuary Choir will be joined by several soloists, vocal ensembles and instrumentalists to offer a time of worship focused on the theme "Here Is Love". The events of Holy Week will be recounted in musical selections, scripture readings and congregational singing. Please plan to join us. A free will offering will be received.

Maundy Thursday Worship Service

Thursday, April 17 | 6:30 pm | Sanctuary

Jesus gathered with his disciples in the upper room and 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. The Maundy Thursday service will be held in the sanctuary, hosted by Rev. Kevin Culberson. 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 hearts prepared to gather at Calvary.

Good Friday Worship Service with Grace Memorial and Faith Baptist Churches

Friday, April 18 | 10:30 am | BSBC Sanctuary

A Good Friday shared community worship service with BSBC, Faith Baptist, and Grace Memorial, will be hosted by BSBC. We will have a combined choir, contemporary worship and messages from Pastor Larry Matthews, Pastor Peter Lohnes and Pastor Ross Watters as we come together to remember the sacrifice God made on our behalf and the impact of Jesus sacrifice on our life today. On Good Friday we remember that, God loved the people of this world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who has faith in him will have eternal life and never really die. God did not send his Son into the world to condemn its people. He sent him to save them! John 3:16-17. Join us as we celebrate this Good News!

Easter Sunday Worship Services

Sunday, April 20 | 10:30 am | Contemporary, Traditional, and Mandarin

Join us on Easter Sunday in any of our worship services as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. We will remember and celebrate the significance of Jesus conquering death and giving the opportunity of restoration between anyone and God. Imagine someone providing you with the greatest gift possible at absolutely no cost to you. Sound too good to be true? Come along and celebrate the reality of this gift with us!

Easter Giving Goal

Please consider making a special Easter financial gift this year as part of your celebration of the Lord's goodness. Please note "Easter Offering" on your envelope or e-Transfer, as we aim to reach our target of $10,000 for Easter 2025. I also want to thank you and pray that God would bless you for the generous regular weekly giving throughout the year that allows Brunswick Street to minister locally and beyond.

14. This Sunday’s Worship Gatherings: March 30

In the Sanctuary, the worship team will be led by Gloria Tranquilla and David Steeves with special music from Laura McGuire and the Sanctuary Choir. In the Gym, the worship team will be led by Greg Keezer.

Dr. Keith Bodner will be preaching in the Gym service. Of his sermon titled “The Gospel in the Lord’s Prayer”, he writes, “Some of our members here at TheStreet might remember when the Lord’s Prayer was recited in school classrooms at the start of each day! Things have changed, and that is no longer the case (in the public system at least), but nonetheless the words of this prayer are familiar to many. Still, it is easy to forget that this teaching about prayer is found in the Sermon on the Mount, and is part of a larger theological vision shared by the Lord Jesus. Rather than just repeating the words this morning, we instead will explore the wider message of the Lord’s Prayer, and suggest that the good news of the gospel can be heard clearly in these words spoken in Matthew 6.”

Rev. Ross Watters will be preaching in the Sanctuary service. Of his second sermon in the Jonah series, he writes: “As we engage in sermon number 2 in our Jonah series we will be engaging with the thought of what effect does our life have on others when we are living on auto pilot, and how do we submit our full selves to our faith rather than only live in submission to God's grace in the areas of life we find easy and comfortable to do so. God demands everything and we the hypocrisy we all struggle with is brought to light as we engage in the book of Jonah again.”

This Sunday we have our youth-led Greenhouse Youth Worship Service on the third floor! All those who are grade 6 to 12 are welcome to join for this time of worship together. Come along for fellowship, food, and learning more about how Jesus intimately works in our lives!

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