Partner with One Church

by

This past weekend we celebrated our our annual ‘Partnership Sunday’. Partnership is our language for membership. Rather than sign up for life, partnership is a chance each year to commit to one more lap of the sun in community together. This weekend we sang, we dreamed, we feasted and we made our partnership pledges.

Partnership is open to all. If you’d like to be a part of One Church this coming year, but missed out on Partnership Sunday, then we’d LOVE to hear from you. You can sign up to become a partner of One Church by heading here, or if you’d be interested in knowing more about One Church then email info@onechurchbrighton.org and we’ll get in touch as soon as we physically can. 🙂

Happy Autumn everyone.

Partnership and Feast, This Sunday!

by

This Sunday is a pretty fun one at One Church.

Firstly, it’s the week in the year where we all get together and say publicly that we’re gonna give this whole church thing a go for another lap of the sun. You don’t automatically stay members for life of One Church, instead we ask each other every year to commit to live a life of community and seeking to embody our values for just the year ahead. (That seems about enough for now). If you’d like to become, or re-become a partner of One Church Brighton, then we’d LOVE that.

Secondly, this Sunday is the first of our Feasts. Today is the Autumn Equinox – marking the start of the season of Autumn. Our hope is that as we mark the changing of the seasons with fantastic food and merriment, we’ll also be becoming more in sync with the beautiful, physical spaces that we inhabit. Come and eat with us immediately after the morning service finishes!

Future feast dates to follow very soon. We hope you come and do this journey with us. 🙂

Chomp’s summer holiday

by

Summer is the busiest, and funnest (most fun?) time of the year for Chomp. Every week in the summer holidays we’re running lunch clubs all across Brighton & Hove, providing a tasty, nutritious meal, great crafts and fun activities, as well as a great opportunity to build relationships and community.

Lunch clubs are the bread and butter of the work of Chomp. With the cost of living crisis only set to get worse, we’re doing all we can to offer food, inspiration and interconnection to families. Even the most intense challenges can feel slightly more manageable when you’re not in it alone.

If you’d like to get involved, email the Chomp team at chomp@onechurchbrighton.org.

Pride is back!

It was delightful to see the streets of Brighton heaving with colour and dancing and celebration again for Pride weekend. For the first time in three years, we were back on the front steps of our building on the Old Steine to offer water (and a toilet pit stop) to the marchers, as well as wanting to shout loudly that affirming churches exist, and that God’s creativity and love is expressed in the gift of the LGBTQ+ community to the world. Happy Pride, everyone. 🙂
