1. Starting Local/Going Global Christmas Project
Dear Church Family,
It’s coming up to that time of the year when we consider our ability to be a blessing to others as God blessed us with the precious gift of our Saviour, Jesus Christ. In its 22nd year, our Starting Local/Going Global Christmas Project has been a means of practical blessing in the lives of people living here in Fredericton and another place of need in the world at large. I encourage you to read the following articles which will explain the projects to you and ask you to consider what you can do to bless others in Jesus’ name.
How do you give?
Mark your gift “Starting Local” to support families in our New Life Ministry and our Third Sunday Supper guests. Mark your gift “Going Global” to support vulnerable children and their families in Bolivia through Canadian Baptist Ministries. Gifts marked “SLGG” will be divided equally between the two funds.
It’s only November, but it’s not too early to consider blessing others this Christmas.
Starting Local
Our “Starting Local” campaign supports our New Life Ministry families. This ministry provides a supportive, spiritually encouraging setting where the women who come experience the love of Jesus through our leaders, teaching, prayer and sharing.
Each Christmas, we ask these women to let us know how we can support them in providing gifts and groceries for their households’ Christmas celebration. This year, we will be following the same format as last year. The Starting Local campaign will be a financial one focused on raising the funds needed to purchase gift cards as requested by our New Life Ministry participants. Gift cards empower these families to be able to shop for some extras themselves allowing them to share in the joy of gift giving. We will wrap up our campaign on the first Sunday of Advent at the combined morning service in the sanctuary on December 3rd.
We make sure that each household receives sponsorship at a level equal to the approach of the Salvation Army and Greener Village. And, in addition to supporting our New Life participants, any financial gift you designate as “Starting Local” will allow us to provide a Christmas gift to our friends who attend our Third Sunday Supper ministry and some of our street level neighbours. Many are unable to connect with families and/or friends during the Christmas season. We hope this remembrance will remind them of God’s love and our love during what can be a challenging time.
Going Global
For this year’s Going Global project, we are returning to Bolivia to support vulnerable children and their families through a number of ongoing projects through Canadian Baptist Ministries (CBM).
Almost half of the population of Bolivia is comprised of children and youth, many of whom are living in vulnerable situations in the poorest country in South America.
CBM, in partnership with local churches in Bolivia, has been working to improve the livelihoods of children and families through such projects as the JIREH Street Children, Casa Prison Children, and Children with a Future. These projects provide holistic care for kids including healthy food, medical care, and psychological and spiritual support. Parents also receive support and training to ensure the whole family is being cared for.
God is at work in Bolivia in many exciting ways. Please consider making a donation to this year’s Going Global project to improve the livelihoods of many vulnerable children and their families.
Thank you,
Your Social Action Team

12. Days for Girls
Twice a month on a Thursday morning, volunteers from the “New Brunswick Days For Girls” team gather at Brunswick Street Baptist Church. We make lovely, high-quality, washable, reusable, feminine hygiene kits.
Days For Girls (DfG) is an award winning, international nonprofit organization that helps girls stay in school and retain dignity, giving back important days of their lives. Many girls in developing countries miss school during their periods because they do not have what they need to manage their periods; many eventually drop out. With Days For Girls kits, girls and women are provided with access to sustainable feminine hygiene products, designed to last for 3-5 years, as well as valuable menstrual health education. Days For Girls International was founded in 2010, and to date over one million kits have been created and distributed to girls and women around the world.
Our New Brunswick team was established in 2021, and in 2022 we were welcomed by Brunswick Street Baptist Church where we were provided with a beautiful, bright space to gather and have our workdays. We typically have 10 to 12 volunteers arrive for each workday. We spend the day cutting fabric, pinning, sewing, serging, and eventually assembling kits. This month we will have completed 500 kits since we formed our group 16 months ago. We are so appreciative of the welcoming space at BSBC which allows us to do this important work. We welcome visitors to drop in and see what we do, see a sample kit, and of course we always welcome new volunteers to our team.
It is estimated that each kit involves 5 hours of volunteer time to sew and construct. We are so fortunate to have such a dedicated group of volunteers on our New Brunswick team! Most of us meet biweekly at BSBC for workdays, and we also have several volunteers who complete tasks at home. We offer a BIG thank you to Shirley Dunfield for matching the ribbon to the bags and doing such a great job!
Kit assembly days are special, as everything comes together for the final product. When the kits are ready, we contact the DfG distribution coordinator for Canada to determine where they will be sent and arrange for shipping. In the past we have sent kits with World Vision to Somalia, and also sent kits to schoolgirls in South Sudan.
In order to purchase the materials and supplies to make the kits, we raise our own funds. Would you like to sponsor a NB team DfG kit in the name of someone on your Christmas gift list? The cost to sponsor one kit is $15. Each $15 donation provides a kit to a girl or woman in need, and you receive a special “Their Gift is Your Gift” postcard which you can give to the person on your list. The person on your list receives a postcard telling them that a girl has received a complete menstrual kit which will change her life for three years. These special cards can be used any time of the year.
If you or someone you know would like to sponsor a beautiful DfG kit, please contact Liz or Julie by email at newbrunswick@daysforgirls.org. You can email or drop in to see us on Thursday, Nov 9, for more information.
