What’s Coming Up

Holy Week

We are entering Holy Week, the week in the church calendar when we celebrate and remember the final days of Jesus’ life until his resurrection. These days mark the central reason for our hope in Jesus.

We have several additional gatherings to mark these days, and we would love to have you join us at each one. Here are the details!

1. Maundy Thursday Service: April 17, 6 pm at Berwick Baptist in the Annex. We will celebrate together and remember the last supper. We will eat supper together and then have a short service and take communion.

2. Good Friday Service: April 18, 6 p.m., Berwick Baptist in the Sanctuary. We will gather for worship to remember Jesus's death on the cross.

3. Sunrise Service: April 20, 7:30 am at Burlington Baptist. We will gather for a sunrise breakfast celebration with a brief service, a few songs and a shared breakfast.

4. Resurrection Sunday Service: April 20, 10:45 am at Berwick Baptist in the sanctuary. We will gather for worship at our regular time to celebrate Jesus's resurrection. Invite a friend or neighbour to join you!

Heating Renovation Proposal

This past Saturday, we had a Family Meeting to discuss the proposed heating renovations. Andrew sent out the details via email today for you to review. Please be in prayer over this significant decision in the life of our church!

Variety Show

We are hosting a Variety Show on April 27th at 2 p.m. at the Berwick Legion. This will be a fun afternoon! During intermission, there will also be a bake sale and dessert auction.

Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door. We are looking for people to provide baked goods for this sale. Also, you'll be able to contribute by selling tickets in advance. You can get these from Rhonda Sawler.

What We Are Celebrating

Week of Prayer Participation

We were deeply encouraged by the level of participation in the Week of Prayer last week. It was so encouraging to see so many prayer guides go out at the start of the week, to hear of people engaging in prayer using that guide each day, having several people join the online prayer meetings and then finally having a great turnout last evening at the Night of Prayer and Worship.

It is so good to see us commit to prayer in these ways, and we believe that God honours this!

Growth in Prayer

There is lots to celebrate from the Week of Prayer! So this is the focus of both things we are celebrating this week. We have heard a few stories about how God used the Week of Prayer to grow us closer to him. One person shared how they were stretched to pray in different ways, allowing them to connect with God in new ways. Another mentioned just the benefit of establishing a daily prayer rhythm again, with the Week of Prayer as a kickstart to it. Last night, we had the chance to hear some of the ‘Big Prayers’ that were lifted to God this week, and it was so meaningful to see the things on people’s hearts.

One Prayer This Week

Pray for Holy Week and each service we will hold. Pray specifically for those who may come to church because of an invitation or simply because it is Easter.
