Active in Mission
Join us this summer for Active in Mission 2023!
Take steps to end hunger – locally and globally!
Statistics show that a staggering 10% of the global population is going hungry. The pandemic, economic hardship, climate change, ongoing conflicts, and natural disasters are just some of the factors contributing to wide scale food insecurity. Closer to home, 1 in 7 Canadians are food insecure. Food banks and other food-related programs served over 5 million Canadians per month last year.
These numbers are expected to rise in 2023.
Together with your help, the Canadian Baptist family – Canadian Baptists of Atlantic Canada, l’Union des Églises Baptistes Francophone du Canada, Canadian Baptists of Ontario and Quebec, Canadian Baptists of Western Canada, and CBM – has set a goal of $100,000 to help ensure people have access to food in 13 different countries, including right here at home. Your support will feed people in Thailand, India, the Philippines, DR Congo, South Sudan, Togo, El Salvador, Rwanda, Kenya, Lebanon, Pakistan, Ukraine, AND Canada.
Let’s get Active in Mission and help feed hungry people this July and August!

Grief Following Trauma: A Critical Incident Stress Management Course
“Grief Following Trauma” at Crandall University on June 9 and 10, 2023.
This is a faith-based course that is open to anyone looking to learn more about helping those who have experienced traumatic death and loss. Friends in our Saint John-Kings Association of CBAC have asked local churches to spread the word. This course is a valuable asset, not only for the church, but also for the wider community that the church serves. If you are interested, please speak to Pastor Rachel. There is also someone from the Fundy Seaside congregation attending.
