Ardwick is having its first climate change summit for residents and stakeholders in our community to coincide with the COP26 UN climate change conference. Learning and action focused, its theme is ‘doing our bit’. We all have a responsibility.

Come along on Tuesday November 9, 5:30pm at Brunswick Church for an interactive evening of conversation on what we can do together to tackle the climate emergency in Ardwick. Refreshments available. Download a leaflet here.

Starting in November we have a new weekly Exercise Class run by Clive from CS Health and Well-being. Have some fun and feel better with some easy to do exercises Tuesdays at 1:30pm, cost only £2. More details on this leaflet.

An article from 'Hand and Heart' about Brunswick Church's Positive Steps and how, one way or another, it has stayed open throughout Covid. Mo says: “It’s shown our community that, despite the pandemic, we’re still here for them even though we haven’t been doing things in person.” It also features the Refurb project and plans for a number of community events in the newly re-opened hall in the next few months. Read it here.

On Sunday morning we moved the first part of our morning service into the newly refurbished hall ℅ Refurb, to celebrate it's re-opening, thank God for his amazing provision and dedicate it to his service and for our community's use. Here are some photos. You can download and read the prayers here.

We're pleased to say the hall is already busy and will be in use every day this week. To enquire about booking it click here.

On 30 October we are holding the first major community event in our newly refurbished hall.

​Brunswick Caribbean Celebration will include music, dancing, a Caribbean Buffet, and feature Black History Month and Windrush displays. It's from 6-9pm, for all ages (more for children in the first half), and is FREE. Email for more info.

With thanks to the Church Urban Fund.

Yesterday morning was our annual harvest service. An All Together Special featuring a quiz, our harvest hymn 'We go to Asda Longsight' (to the tune of 'We Plough the Fields and Scatter'), more songs, prayer stations, a Thanksgiving for baby Amara, and afterwards, for the first time in ages, our after-service lunch. Big thanks to those who provided food (we 're not quite back to full Bring and Share just yet). In these times of food banks, shortages and financial worries, we had much to be thankful to God for.

The end of the Refurb Phase One build is getting closer and we're now getting into the finishing touches. Here's an impressive picture of the sanding of the hall floor showing before and after. No prizes for guessing which is which. Watch this space for news of the first events in our newly refurbished hall.
