Fairtrade Fortnight Fun

3/3/2021

 
FairTrade
To celebrate the end of Fairtrade Fortnight (February 22 to March 7) we have some great activities to join in with over the next few days. 
  • Cakes: the Cake Fairies have been busy - very busy (see photo below). Deliveries tomorrow, with optional donation to FairTrade (might still just be time to book a delivery).
  • A Family Friendly Fairtrade Quiz – 7.15ish on Saturday with Fairtrade Prizes. Still time to book in a team. Contact Andy Crome for more details.

Fairtrade Fortnight highlights the ongoing campaign by the Fairtrade Foundation and this is why we at Brunswick are a Fairtrade Church. We have set up a donations page here. The best way to support Fairtrade is to buy the goods. Have a listen for some ideas and what to look out for next time you go shopping,

Fingerprint Cross Art

1/3/2021

 
At our Sunday service yesterday we considered one of the more challenging sayings of Jesus: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me". The creative activity was all about making a cross shape with fingers and paint and sticky tape. Messy but fun. Here are some of the resulting pieces of art. Thank you to all our artists.

A new garden

21/2/2021

 
As part of our Refurb project we want to convert the area behind the church building, where those two lovely trees are, into a garden for church and community use. We would love to know what you would like to see in it and how you would like to use it. Please click here to fill in a consultation. Below is a movie and some photos of the area. For more info please send an email.

Our 2021 Pancake Party by Zoom

17/2/2021

 
Yesterday on Shrove Tuesday we successfully shifted our Brunswick Pancake Party onto Zoom. It featured this catchy song (maybe too catchy - there have been reports of earworms today), a quiz, a short talk on the 3 reasons why this day is special, and of course pancakes. Here are some photos of the amazing pancake creations and some screenshots. Quiz: Which pancake looks like Gordon..?

Alongside. Our 2021 Lent Course

16/2/2021

 
Picture
For our Lent Course at Brunswick this year we will be using a new book by Henry Martin. "Alongside: Reflections on Jesus’ Struggles and how he meets us in Our Struggles". Very apt after a year of Covid lockdown and tier-related stresses and strains.

The meetings will be on Zoom for six weeks starting this Sunday at 7pm. All are welcome to join us. You'll need to have a copy of the book. You can get a discounted paper copy here (other online bookshops are available) or a digital copy here. If you need help with this please email Simon. For course joining details please send an email.

View a preview of the book from Henry below.

Refurb update - Amazing News!

8/2/2021

 
Sport England
Our Refurb project, raising funds to give our much-used building some TLC and set it up for many more years serving and hosting local people, has had a Huge Boost! To add to the funds raised by local people, church members past and present and various grants, we have heard back from our biggest funding application, £150,000 from Sport England with a 100% YES! Are we pleased? Are we thanking God? YES and YES. Really good news for our whole community.

Picture
This big jump in our total raised means we are now very close to our target – near enough for building work to begin in the next few months. This is Phase 1 of Refurb which will concentrate on renewing and improving the hall and finally replacing the building's heating. Find out more about the work that will happen in Phase 1 here. If you would like to know more about how to help with raising the last chuck of funding, please send an email.
