The 2026 National Day of Prayer is here and we just aren't ready.
This year's Prayer Request is simple:
Please pray as the Lord directs you.
This year's Prayer Request is simple:
Please pray as the Lord directs you.
We were not able to organize this in 2026.
There is no sign-up list. There are no suggested prayers. All I can tell you is that good things are happening: new staff; new roles for our staff; new initiatives that should improve how we serve our groups, our leaders and our churches, and NEW churches; things that will address our weaknesses, and that will set us up for the future needs of this ministry.
No, we didn't forget this important part of our Christian walk. Prayer is the #1 thing that we ask of you.
We ask for your prayers, your encouragement and your time.
Frankly, we know that the Lord will prosper us through your prayers, alone,
as you pray them, as the Holy Spirit guides you.
So, we are leaving it up to God and His Holy Spirit to inspire you to pray for the good things that He has for us... all of us; you, me, and the ministry of CSB across Canada and around the world. He is the Fire that drives us forward.
Please be patient with us. A good swift boot in the backside may help... as the Lord leads.
I am available for a phone call. I can explain what's going on. Sorry, I just can't keep up with it all and I ran out of time.
(And, I felt the Lord saying not to worry about it. It's a necessity as we rebuild CSB Canada.)
Thank you for your part in this important Work of God.
"Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think,
according to the power at work within us,
to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus
throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen."
Ephesians 3:20-21

Lord, our Saviour, Guide and Captain,
Be a solid wall around us.
Make us all courageous servants.
Help us grow to be like Jesus. Amen.

The Brigade Watchword:
Now we trust in God
To keep us Bright and Keen for Christ,
Because we love Him,
Because we want to serve Him,
Until we see Him face to face.

The Brigade Poem
Oldest of Brigade traditions
Is the shield of shining symbols:
Bright, the torch of Christian living,
Keen, the sword of Christian witness,
Open wide the precious treasure,
Word of Truth – the Christ revealing.
On the shield of faith emblazoned:
Bright and Keen for Christ, our motto.
