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 Kaaba 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.

At this Sunday's service we said goodbye to our curate Kathreen and family, Shahbaz, Jeremiah and Joshua, as she moved on to lead her own church in... Gorton, which is just up the road! We prayed for God's blessing on them their new home and ministry, and then had our Bring and Share lunch together, with cake of course. Thank you Kathreen for all you have brought to us – that smile, that enthusiasm – for the last three years. You all have been much loved members of the Brunswick family (one which you never really leave). A date for your diaries. It's our annual Tearfund Big Quiz Night. Come along to Brunswick on Friday 15th November from 7pm for some fun fundraising for all the family. With refreshments and prizes. As always, everyone welcome. Download a poster here.  |
