Sunday was a day of excitement and blessing at Blacks Harbour (Ken Banks). Despite the rain, wind and fog, 40+ persons gathered on the shoreline Sunday afternoon to watch five individuals proclaim their faith in Jesus through baptism.

Ken shared, “Among those baptized were a mother and her daughter. Earlier in the day, four new members were received into fellowship as well. There are those who are already expressing an interest in joining the church and of being baptized in the future!”

This Sunday, the Beulah Tabernacle held its second and final Browns Flat Fellowship (Jay & Sharon Guptill) service until after Labour Day. It was a privilege to share from The Word – such a rich tapestry of spiritual heritage in this place. The 52 full-time staff from Caton’s Island were in the service with Director Dean Stephenson. Dr. HC offered a special prayer for their summer ministry ahead and many gathered around to lay hands on them at the altars.

Jay Guptill was ministering on Sunday with the Irving family in the Bouctouche Chapel (see funeral announcement below on Friday’s passing of Mr. J. K. Irving). We are blessed by all the ways that God uses Jay & Sharon’s gifted and love-fueled influence to serve Kingdom interests! Check out their Kingswood Learn Micro Course below.

Riverside Wesleyan Camp held its first-ever June Family Camp this Saturday. It was an afternoon full of fun for the whole family. Swimming, hay rides, face painting, sand art, and lawn games were just some of the things that in which children and students delighted, while parents fellowshipped and reminisced about their own days at summer camp.

Riverside Director Parker Davis (Framework) shared, “Our dining room overflowed as over 120 meals were served, followed by even more people joining for the evening service with 180 present! This was by far our biggest turn out since before the pandemic affected our programming. A team from Framework Church led us in worship, and current and past campers from ages 10 to 80 testified about how Riverside has impacted their lives and relationships with Jesus. I spoke about the mission and purpose of Riverside Camp. The day was rounded out with s’mores around a campfire, with dreams of growing the Family Camp event during the years to come. Many laughs were shared, tears were shed, and heart were filled, a day well spent!

A Cape Sable Unity Service!

West Head IVince Robertson) hosted a Unity Service this Sunday with Temple Baptist and The Stone Church with 88 in attendance. A Communion Service was followed by a BBQ as brothers and sisters in Christ shared their love and friendship as a witness to the community!

The spiritual life is not a life before, after, or beyond our everyday existence. No, the spiritual life can only be real when it is lived in the midst of the pains and joys of the here and now. (Henri Nouwen)
You are not who others say you are. You are who God says you are. If your character is not strengthening, your future is weakening. (Craig Groeschel)
At the end of the day, the biggest obstacle to evangelism is Christians who don’t share the gospel. (Albert Mohler)
