Positive Graffitti

10/4/2021

 
Picture
As previewed yesterday, here is the completed artwork by Millie for our Church Community Garden. It features the blessing we have been using at the end of our services throughout the Covid lockdown.

"May the peace of the Lord Christ go with you, wherever He may send you.

May He guide you through the wilderness, protect you through the storm.
May He bring you home rejoicing at the wonders He has shown you.
​May He bring you home rejoicing once again into our doors".

Getting ready for Refurb

9/4/2021

 
The journey that has been our Refurb project over the past few years is about to see some concrete results (excuse the pun). As with every new thing, something has to go first to make way. So here are some pictures – and a very brief video – of the demolition of our car park wall. A sort of pre--Phase One which is due to start in a few weeks. (Also, slipped in from round the other side of the building, another contribution to our Church Community Garden jigsaw, ℅ Millie.)

We are grateful to God to have got this far, but also for this bit to the Council's Social Value Register and local company Rosgal, who did the work for free!

He is Risen. Whooosh. Bang!

5/4/2021

 
Some pictures and a short video – thanks Heidi – from our Easter Sunday morning service yesterday morning. So we could legally sing again, we started and finished outside in our new Church Community Garden (work in progress). Great to see lots of people gathering safely to celebrate, sing, and smile.

Thanks to our "Easter Rocket" we may have a slight amendment to the liturgy:
  • Leader: Alleluia, Christ is Risen.
  • Response: He is Risen Indeed. Alleluia
  • The lighting of the touchpaper: Whooosh. BANG!
  • Response: Wow.

Easter at Brunswick

  • Good Friday meditative service 10:30am, April 2.
  • Easter Sunday Celebration 10:30am, April 4.

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,
