The theme for Black History Month this year is `Saluting Sisters'. If you know a woman of colour that has positively affected you (big or small), could you please write or record a short piece telling your story. The idea is that this will contribute to creating a booklet. Mo or Paul are happy to do the writing or recording. For more info send an email or call in at Positive Steps.
Everyone is invited to our Macmillan coffee morning on Tuesday September 24 starting 10:30am. There will be coffee, tea and of course CAKE and other goodies. Plus good company and chat. All hosted by Mo and team and for a great cause. What's not to like? Every Coffee Morning makes a difference. Donations from thousands of Coffee Mornings, big and small, help raise vital funds to support the 3 million people in the UK living with cancer, from the moment they are diagnosed, throughout treatment and beyond. Positive Steps is back after a late summer break and, as well as the regular activities, there are several special events happening over the next few months. Beginning with a Women's Health Day on Saturday September 14, 11am to 5pm, with experts and specialists speaking on physical and well-being issues. Organised by Salam Sisters and supported by the NHS.
For women only. Cost is £6.13 and Eventbrite registration is required. For more details send an email or download a poster here. Please note Positive Steps will be closed for 3 weeks while Mo and team have a well-earned summer break. Last day, Thursday August 8. Re-opening on Monday September 2.
Last weekend we held a special celebration of 50 years since the opening of Brunswick church building - looking back with gratitude and ahead with hope. Go to our 'We are 50!' page to check out photos, a video of the Sunday service and links to stories and more. Big thanks to everyone who came to the party - local community and ex-Brunswick members who travelled from near and far - and to all who worked so hard to make it all happen.
Our new noticeboard is up and in use, just in time for a certain 50th event this weekend. Thank you to S4B for supplying.
On June 29 and 30 as we celebrate our fiftieth we will be joined by quite a few of our ex-members and, we hope, by many from the local community. Check out the programme here, or download it on this poster.
There are now two new pages on our website - Brunswick stories from members past and present, and Brunswick history - downloads of a selection of our Broadsheets and other publicity. The 'Past, Present. Future' display is coming together and looking great, and other preparations continue. It's going to be a great time of 'looking back with gratitude, looking forward with hope', Not long now to our Jubilee celebration – 50 years since this church building was opened. 50 years of God at work in this place. We will be 'looking back with gratitude, looking forward with hope', joined by some of our ex-members and, we hope, by many from the local community.
The programme of events is below and you can download the special issue of Brunswick News with the story of the church, personal recollections and much more here. We will get a paper copy through as many doors as we can in the next week or two. More details on our 'We are 50!' page. We look forward to welcoming you. Our church AGM (Annual General Meeting) will be on Sunday 21st April as part of the morning service. At Brunswick we don't do boring if we can possibly help it, so our AGM is a time of looking back with celebration and thanks and looking forward to what's next. Business is kept to a minimum and all the reports are available to read in this booklet, which gives an insight into all that God has done in and through us in the previous year.
