Sunday was a day of celebration as 50 gathered at Nackawic Wesleyan (Ryan Farrell) for the baptism of this elderly saint as his dear wife stood beside him (top picture). For health reasons, sprinkling was the sacramental method requested. Ryan shared, “I poured water into three small bowls representing the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and took water from each bowl for the public declaration of his faith in baptism.” A creative approach!

• Tim Conrad concluded his ministry at Woods Harbour Wesleyan earlier this month with a baptism (bottom picture)! We are grateful for Tim & Jenna and their service in Southwest Nova as the Conrads seek the Lord’s direction for the next chapter of their ministry. The church family has engaged in a strategic partnership with Yarmouth Wesleyan (AJ Plaizier) for the months ahead as David Hockley is providing pastoral care and leadership.

Another exciting announcement was shared at Journey (Matt Maxwell) this Sunday! Jamie (Catherine) Cambers will be returning to Fredericton this summer as they begin the work for a fall 2026 launch of Journey – Oromocto. CLICK HEREon timestamp 51:50 for the intro from Matt and an entertaining video greeting from the Cambers family.

• Jamie currently serves as Executive Pastor at C-Road (Jason Frizzell) in Brockville, ON.

Another historic Beulah Family Camp (July 5-13) is about 130 days away with evangelists Dr. Steve DeNeff and Rev. Zach Coffin. An updated Beulah Camp & Conference Center website will be available soon with more details. Executive Director Tami Mutch-Ketch is thrilled to provide this early announcement for a first-ever event embedded in the schedule of BFC as a pre-District Conference shoulder event.

Marketplace Disciple Maker Conference

The Spirit’s presence was moving in a special way this Sunday at Brazil Lake Wesleyan (Kevin Myers). It was a joy to worship with the nearly 75 in attendance as the congregational singing featured 50% Spanish and the message was simultaneously interpreted via headsets for the growing number of Spanish-speaking new Canadians who now call BLWC their spiritual home!

• A powerful and lingering time of personal testimonies concluded the service before an extended time of fellowship over a delicious meal. Praise God for the renewal and post-pandemic strength they are experiencing under Kevin’s effective leadership.

Family Day Weekend hosted another impactful community service of Browns Flat Fellowship (Jay & Sharon Guptill) at the HUB up the hill. An encouraging winter turnout with 100 in attendance including the tables at the back for families with young children. These are significant days of growth and community connection as BFF is reaping the harvest of relational and prayer seeds sown over the past 20 years.
