On Sunday we got our Jubilee Year (50 Years since Brunswick Church building was opened) off to a great start when Brunswick's first curate, Rev Peter Hobson returned as our guest preacher. Pete, who was curate between 1977 and 1982, also told us about how he came to be at Brunswick as a member, right back to within a few months of the building opening, then was invited back as curate by then Rector Rev Martin Gooder. Brunswick was where Pete met his wife Sue and he also spoke about how his time here has influenced his ministry since: not least in his recent re-ordering of Leicester Cathedral in the round – not dis-similar to our Worship Room! A few of the present congregation still remember Pete's time with us and it was good to renew friendship.
There will be more ex-curates coming on Sundays through the year as we continue to celebrate 50 years of God at work in this place. Read more here about our special weekend of events at the end of June
