Dear Muffin Makers, We’re entering another season of “Muffin Mania” in support of those who go out in the evenings to make contact with and show love to Fredericton’s homeless population. Each Sunday night, BSBC is responsible for this important ministry. We need 3 dozen muffins for each week’s ministry. Here are the details: we’d like to avoid an over-stocking of the freezer by having just 3 dozen muffins delivered to the standing freezer in the main kitchen by SUNDAY of each week we’d ask that ‘muffin makers’ wrap each muffin individually in clingwrap or placed it in a baggie before bringing them to the church (it’s so much easier to access the frozen muffins and more sanitary to serve them when individually wrapped) please put (1) your name, (2) the date and (3) STREET MINISTRY on the bag in which you put the wrapped muffins to bring them to the freezer The love and engagement of our bakers has been a marvellous blessing to those engaged in street ministry, to us and to those who receive the ‘fruit of your labor’. Thank you for considering your participation. Your Social Action Team Information Source: Brunswick Street Baptist Church | eventbrite

A journey of loss and discovery, and a war that marked the emergence of a nation and the demise of a family. Born at a time of intense racism, and denied birthrights, Fred Lee is a remarkable story uncovered by a retired engineer intent on finding the backstory of a young Canadian who seized the only opportunity offered him. The story went national across television media ... and now it is unveiled in a short 40 minute documentary that is sure to touch the emotions of its audience young and old from coast to coast.
