1. Christmas Letter 2023 from the Pastors’ Office
But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.
– Luke 2: 10 – 14
Merry Christmas BSBC Family!
First off, let me start by offering a massive Merry Christmas to everyone at the Church. I truly pray that this Advent season is one of deep meaning, joy, hope, peace and celebration for every one of you. I know Christmas is so often full of extremes of emotion: for some it is the best and most exciting time of year - full of joy, busyness, and general family chaos - and also such a special and blessed time. For others, I know Christmas can be a reminder of who is not here. Essentially, it feels like Christmas magnifies and increases the intensity of many of the feelings and emotions that lay beneath the surface.
As I reflect on the journey of BSBC since Christmas of last year, this has been an extremely full year. As a congregation, we have been through difficulties, massive transitions, pain, and loss amidst much joy and growth throughout the year, mirroring the path of following Jesus. Another passage of Scripture that comes to mind as I pray for this year’s advent journey is Isaiah 9:2, ‘The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned’. It feels like we have been trying to find our way through the darkness in these last few months and yet, God has been on the move in our church community in a powerful way. I am so excited to see what He has for us throughout this joyous season and into 2024.
We have seen an increase in the number of people attending our services. This growth has sustained a deeper, more developed sense of community within and between all of our congregations. Our youth’s and children’s ministries continue to strengthen with students growing into their gifts outside and within our church family.
Rev. Kevin Culberson has been a great and steady hand through this time, and I appreciate both his leadership of the Sanctuary service as well as all the ways he has helped behind the scenes. Dr. Bodner continues to bless both services with his teaching. Pastor Nikki continues to grow and develop our NextGen ministries and has seen many new faces both attending and stepping into volunteering roles. Our Mandarin congregation has witnessed so many baptisms and Pastor Changbin is doing an incredible job leading our Chinese brothers and sisters.
Tina, Sarah, and Deesha are doing a wonderful job in KidzTown and have seen so many new children joining each week. The joy on the second floor is there for all to see Sunday by Sunday. Melanie has been a steady and loving hand in our preschool ministry and again, is being kept busy every Sunday with the number of younger children. Our benevolence ministry continues to be in high demand and blesses those in our community in desperate need. Doug and his team are involved in some incredible ministry. On top of this, our office staff, Janet and Naomi, have worked so hard to cover the additional workload that is being shared among us all. We really do have a staff team to be deeply thankful for. Our Boards and Committees have been kept very busy this year with so much extra planning and so many more decisions needing to be made. I just want to express my deep gratitude to our Board of Management, Board of Deacons, and Church Teams and Committees. I am deeply thankful to serve as part of such an incredible team.
As we move into this Advent Season, I want to extend a personal invite to each one of you to come and join us in the celebrations. No matter how you are feeling deep within, what this year has meant for you, or the associations you may have around this time of year, please make the choice to join us in celebration. To once again take the step to remember and rejoice, knowing that, even in places of deepest darkness, a great light can shine and transform. In this season, our Advent themes are the HOPE we receive, the PEACE that He brings, the JOY we can live in, and the LOVE we have received.
I pray this Advent season is one full of God the Father’s blessing and full of God the Spirit’s presence, as we remember the greatest gift ever given, God the Son.
Every blessing and I look forward to sharing in this season with you.
Reverend Ross Watters

3. Christmas Giving Goal 2023
At our Annual Meeting in February, the congregation adopted a goal of raising $10,000 over and above regular giving as a celebration offering for Christmas. This will go a long way to helping us end the year in a strong place financially.
How to give
Gifts can be made the old-fashioned way, using the offering boxes on the welcome tables or dropping your gift at the Church office. There is also a debit machine in the Connections Center, and e-transfers are welcome to giving@bsbc.nb.ca
To ensure a tax receipt for 2023, please bring your gift to the church office by noon on Friday, Dec. 22 or drop your envelope in the offering box during our combined worship in the sanctuary on Sunday, Dec 31 or send an e-transfer by 11:59 p.m. on Dec. 31.
Thank you for considering such practical support of the ministry we do in Fredericton and beyond.
4. Starting Local/Going Global Christmas Project
A Message From The Things:
‘Tis the time of the year to celebrate lots of Good News
And for “The Things” to say a “Big Thank You” ... to those in the pews.
Who have supported so faithfully all things SL and GG
Starting Local, Going Global… what a program of Hope, and of Peace
The giving has been wonderful … yet … still there is time
To bring more joy to those in Bolivia, New Life, and those who join us to dine
So to you a Big Wish from Things 1, 2, and 3
Merry Christmas to all and A Year of Blessings and Glee.
It’s not too late to make a financial gift to our annual Christmas project. Last Sunday, at our Blended Worship service, we announced that the giving to Starting Local was $7,350 – we’re moving closer to meeting the costs for providing Christmas gifts and groceries for our New Life Ministry families and for our guests who attend our monthly Third Sunday Supper.
In addition, we were able to announce that over $5,500 has come in to Going Global which will be sent through our national office, Canadian Baptist Ministries, to children in Bolivia.
Thank you to all who have given to this point. We will continue to accept your gifts between now and the end of December. Designate your gift “Starting Local” if you wish to support those in New Life and Third Sunday Supper. Or, Going Global, to support children in Bolivia. If you mark your gift “SLGG” whatever you give will be divided equally between both arms of the project.
After Sunday’s service, our updated giving totals for Local is $8,697.50 and for Global is $9,824.70.
Thank You so much.
God is so good.
BSBC Social Action Team and Mission Committee

7. A Time of Prayer: Weekdays noon - 1:30 pm
Hello, dear brothers and sisters.
Prayer time in the sanctuary will finish this week on Friday, December 15th. I hope to resume early in January and will let you know when we will begin again. As we finish this week, prayer will again be 12:00-1:30 PM.
The Prayer time has been about sitting in God's presence, waiting on Him, reading scriptures, being silent, sometimes sharing, praying with people, praying over people --- just however the Spirit leads.
A number of days I have just been by myself and often I will have some worship music or hymns playing, but please feel free to enter the sanctuary at any time, for any segment of that 1.5 hr. of time. All are welcome who would like to pray or to receive prayer ministry.
I would welcome anyone who would like to join me on Thursday and Friday this week as we finish this season of prayer.
Debbie Kierstead
8.Service of Comfort & Hope: Dec 21
On Thursday, December 21 at 6:30 pm, Brunswick Street Baptist Church will be holding our annual Service of Comfort & Hope. This is a place for those grieving the loss of a loved one to gather for comfort and hope.

A reception will follow in the gym.
9. Weekly Financial Countdown
Please consider how you can generously support God’s work at Brunswick Street as we near the end of 2023. Your continued giving at this time is important and much appreciated, as we need to close the budget gap.
Recognizing that it is the end of the 2023 tax year, and many people will be looking to drop off an end of year donation, our bookkeeper, Naomi, will be in the office on Friday, Dec 29 from 8:00 am till noon. For the year-end, you can also give at our Sunday morning service Dec 31. E-Transfer giving is also welcome, and any gifts sent before 11:59 pm Dec 31 will be counted as a 2023 donation.

Please note that the church offices will be closed between Christmas and New Years, from noon on Friday, December 22, 2023, and reopening Tuesday, January 2, 2024, at 8:00 am. This will provide some needed downtime, and work flexibility for our pastors and staff after a joyous and busy season.

14. Muffin Ministry
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.
Our schedule is now open for 2024. We still require 3 dozen muffins per week. 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 to sign up to serve in this way 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.
15. Pastoral Care
Your Deacons want to affirm that BSBC is equipped to provide Pastoral Care. We are grateful for the engagement of Pastor Ross and Pastor Nikki, and we are blessed to have additional support from Rev. Kevin Culberson, the Baptist Chaplin at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Hospital.

• Outside of office hours, please contact a pastor directly
Bereavement

• Contact the church office during office hours, Monday to Friday, 8:30 am to 4 pm
• Outside of office hours, please contact a pastor directly
• We have provided McAdams, Bishops, and York Funeral Homes with the contact information for both Pastor Ross and Rev. Kevin
• If you are not a member of a bereaved family but know of a death within the BSBC family, please contact the church office to make sure your pastors are aware of the need

It’s going to be a rich evening of beautiful music from all over the world, sung in different languages and genres, and with guest performers (Yvonne Kershaw – bassoon, Garry Hanson – guitar, Olivia Spahn-Vieira – mezzo-soprano, and Graysen LaPointe – Tenor.)
