Sunday Worship
Sunday mornings at 10:00 am at our Ministry Centre at Keswick Landing. Junior and Senior youth programs. Our style is informal and comfortable. Our worship music, led by Marty and Cynthia Hall, is a mix of contemporary and traditional styles. A highlight of our worship service is always the "Give God The Glory" segment, which gives everyone an opportunity to tell what God has been doing in their lives during the past week.
Home Study Group
Our Home Group meets on Sunday evenings at 7:00 pm at
the home of Jim & Lisa Tranquilla, 30 Lee Lane, Lower Queensbury. Phone 363-2469. This is a comfortable group of men and
women who meet to study through a series of short topics geared to our lives as
parents, working and retired folks.
All are welcome. A couple
examples of recent video-based studies include James MacDonald’s “Changing Your
Attitudes” and “When Life Is Tough”. This month, we're just completing the series "Without Faith .. Impossible". Topics such as "Trusting God With Tomorrow", "What To Do About Enemies", "Trusting God With Injustice", .... children, finances, crises .... Interested or curious? Come and join us.
Youth Group
During the school year on Friday evenings 7:00 – 9:00 at the
Ministry Centre for both junior and senior youth, led by Barb and Charlie. Bible studies,
games, movies, special projects, outings, sleep-overs … we’re trying to do all
kinds of challenging things to make a difference in our youth and to help them
make a difference in our community.
Hands of
Hope
Each month, several of the ladies at
Hope gather to prepare a special food dish or other special service item and then deliver it as a surprise
gift to a family or shut-in in the community.
Women of Joy
On the first Saturday morning of each month the ladies of Hope and guests meet at the Worship Centre to hear a special guest share her story of faith. This is a great opportunity to meet and fellowship with other ladies in our community. Call Norma 459-8436 and check our Upcoming Events for names of speakers in the coming months.
Coat & Boot Exchange
Each Saturday in November, and again in April, the ladies of Hope operate a clothing exchange to give away needed clothing items to folks in our community. Lots of folks donate used and new clothing, and many others come in to find much-needed items.
Summer
Suppers
Every Friday 5:00–6:30 pm during the month of July we prepare and serve supper to everyone who drops in. Donations only, and it’s a great way
to get to know folks in our community.
We did Summer Suppers for the first 3 years of our church life and this
became our trademark of service to others. We’re excited about reviving this great ministry for the
Summer of 2011, so check our Calendar to find the dates and location.
World
Changers
World Changers, a Christian mission
sponsored by the North American Mission Board of the Southern Baptist
Convention (www.world-changers.net),
challenges young people and adults to discover something about serving others
in a practical way. Barb Hoyt is
the Atlantic Region World Changers coordinator.
Each year we lead a group of our
youth on a World Changers project.
For the past 3 years, our projects have been in Charlottetown, PEI; this
summer, instead of traveling to a World Changers project, we will be doing a project in Halifax, NS.
Samaritan’s
Purse Operation Christmas Child
Each year we participate in this
great ministry to send Christmas boxes to needy children around the world
(www.samaritanspurse.ca).
This year Norma is leading a year-long project by gathering a different
gift each month; at the end of the year we’ll have a community work day to pack
the boxes and to celebrate sending them off.
Love
Your Community Day
Each year, on one Saturday in June,
we join with other churches across the country to celebrate Love Your
City. It’s a day when we show our
willingness to serve others by doing organized acts of kindness in our
communities. This will be our 7th
year as part of the Greater Fredericton Area Love Your City celebration and
we’ll have lots of activities that will be fun and a blessing to others.
East
Coast Baptist Association (ECBA)
We are happy to be part of the ECBA
along with 22 other churches and church starts. This year, Charlie Wright is the ECBA Moderator, a position
that keeps him in close contact with our sister churches and presents special
challenges and opportunities in strengthening these congregations. As a church, we send a strong
delegation to the Annual Association Meetings.
CNBC Partnerships
The Partnerships program links ECBA
churches with sister Southern Baptist churches in North Carolina, South
Carolina, Louisiana and other southern states. Each year, several mission teams visit our ECBA churches to
help out with a variety of projects and this year we expect to see over a dozen
teams throughout the ECBA region.
In addition, we are planning to host a large group of Carpenters For
Christ to work at a local Christian Summer Camp. Also this summer, for the first time, we will see a family
volunteer ministry team coming from Alberta to do a work project in PEI.
Jim Tranquilla is the Atlantic
Regional Coordinator for the CNBC Partnerships program and he is actively
working to enlarge the program to include more Mission groups.
