A lovely sunny morning for our annual Easter Sunday Celebration service at Brunswick – the big finale to our Easter events where we remember the death and resurrection of Jesus and the four most important words you are ever likely to hear or read: "He is not here" (implications, if true, = life-changing).

We began outside in the community garden where the story of Jesus' empty tomb was read and we had our Easter Shout – accompanied by a rocket... if you were wondering about the whoosh and loud bang you heard at about 11am. Then we went into the church to sing, praise and celebrate the Risen Jesus and gift of a new start of everyone.  The service also included the baptisms of Kaitlyn and Caleb and the cutting off of a tie... (ask Simon to explain!) Photos below, which also include a few from our Passover Meal on Thursday.

On Saturday April 5 we are hosting our latest community event, this time with a Caribbean theme, and featuring one of our Mission Partners, Operation Restoration Christian School, based in Kingston, Jamaica. The school Principal Robert Dixon will be our special guest.

• Caribbean Buffet
• Music and dancing with live band
• 6-10pm, everyone welcome. Children must be accompanied.

Our Pancake Party on Shrove Tuesday was amazing! Almost 90 adults and children came to join the fun, doing activities, enjoying the conversation, and of course eat pancakes with all sorts of delicious toppings. Big thanks to our hard-working team who set up, cooked, served and cleaned up afterwards.

Why Shrove Tuesday? Why pancakes? It's all about beginning to get ready for Easter. Watch this short video to find out more.

​The countdown to Easter, the biggest Christian festival of the year, is about to begin.

Easter Sunday will be on April 20, so Lent, the 40 day preparation time for the celebration of Easter, will begin on Wednesday March 5 with our Ash Wednesday Service at 9am. This will be an informal communion service, open to all, with an opportunity to receive ashes (optional). Find out more about Ash Wednesday here.

A first for Brunswick (we think) at our Sunday morning service as we gave God thanks for the safe arrival of twins Peter and Semira, born in December to proud parents Kabah and Alex.

Brunswick’s Community Carol Service this year was a fun- and worship-filled celebration of the birth of Jesus. Sketches by junior and senior Sunday schools, readings by community leaders, carols and songs. It featured as special guests Rockwell Woodwind Ensemble playing medleys of Christmas Carols and festive songs. We also had an appearance by The Flash!  As you do. Festive finger food afterwards as always. Thank you everyone. Photos below.

Look who came to visit our Toddler Group today at their Christmas party!

Our annual Community Christmas meal was a great success with lots of people coming through the door who we had not seen before, and hope to see again. Good food, good company, good fun. Big thanks to our sponsors S4B and Manchester City Council and also to our team of volunteers who cooked and served. And DJ Simon for the seasonal sounds.
