One Church
On the third Sunday each month, One Church will once again host a hearty meal for those who could use the food and friendship. That means we need some volunteers! If you’d like to be a part of something really beautiful, don’t mind a bit (or a lot) of washing up, are up for meeting some great people and getting a hot lunch thrown in too, then ping us a message!
Not one, but two opportunities have arisen to be part of our Chomp Team at One Church Brighton! They are:
Chomp Development Worker (Children and Families) 2.5 days (20 hours) per week
Chomp Development Worker (Comms and Data) 2.5 days (20 hours) per week
You’ll get to be a part of our fab One Church team, and have the immense privilege of working alongside some pretty terrific families and communities all across Brighton. If you’re interested, check out these opportunities at https://chompbrighton.co.uk/recruitment/
We need your help for an old fashioned barn raising (well, polytunnel raising) after record-breaking winds clobbered two of three covered growing spaces at our Rock Farm project. These tunnels are crucial to core activities at the farm: Regenerative food growing, nature-based therapeutic care and training for future growers. Donate here.
Thank you!
We are hoping to find a very special person to join in the journey of One Church, helping us to develop our children’s work so all in our church family are equipped and nurtured to live out the ethos and values of our faith as we follow Christ. Specifically, we want someone who translates all that’s good about One Church and communicates and embodies that to the younger generation who call this church their home. Working in tandem with the Associate Minister, we want someone to share the overall responsibility for the spiritual health and discipleship of our children’s work. You will be passionate about children and youth and also able to encourage other people to engage with and nurture this generation in their expression of faith.
Please do get in touch with Sam to talk about the role if you’re interested. Or, to apply, send your CV and a covering letter explaining why you think you’re the person for this job to Sam on sam@onechurchbrighton.org.
It’s been a few years since we’ve been able to do anything like this, but we’re so looking forward to this year’s Church Weekend Away. Particularly as we emerge from the weirdness and forced isolation that’s characterised the past couple of years, we want to do all we can to grow in love and communion together – and there’s nothing quite like just being together with a bunch of tents, a camp fire or two, and a good old fashioned washing up rota to really help us get to know one another. Prices and more info will come soon, but for now we just want to get the dates of the 17-19th June in your diaries. We really really hope to see you there!
For the next couple of months, we’ll be basing our Sunday morning teaching stuff on a really great book by Henri Nouwen. ‘Spiritual Formation’ is a terrific invitation to see the invitation of God’s spirit inviting us from fear into love, from exclusion to inclusion, from illusion into prayer. It’s a great book and not a long one, so if you’d like to get hold of it then definitely do. You can buy it here (opens in new tab), but don’t worry if you’re not much of a reader – the Sunday stuff won’t depend at all on you having read anything!!
