New Outreach Initiative: Faith, Hope & Love @ Lunch at BRBC
This will take place on the 1st & 3rd Tuesdays of the month at 12:30pm in the Main Hall. i.e. Tuesdays 16th June, 7th July and 21st July.
We warmly invite you to share in an enjoyable and tasty fellowship lunch. Feel free to invite others along. Please sign up on the sheet at reception or via the website. This is a free lunch but donations are welcome. This outreach initiative is being led by Waseem and Rubina Haq, church members. Waseem writes: ''I foresee that this initiative of BRBC outreach through Faith, Hope and Love @ Lunch can give opportunity for all those who lead the church programs like the Alpha course, Informal worship, Prayer groups and International ministry etc to attend and to take forward any conversation that happens with people who will come and to invite them to the appropriate program, giving people the opportunity to taste and see that the Lord is good and they can find refuge in Him.''

Message from BMS workers, Louise & Pete Lynch
Dear all, this is just a quick message to say we are looking forward to coming to visit your church over the coming months. We leave our Bangladesh home here in Dhaka on the morning of June 16th and arrive in our Newcastle home late afternoon on the 17th June. On 20th June we travel to London for our BMS conference from 21st to 26th June, and for a week after that we are hosting our Bangladeshi colleagues and repaying some of their hospitality. Thank you for all your support for us whilst we have been in Bangladesh. As we try and work through all the documents we promised to finish, enjoy more meals out and food than we can ever hope to eat again and keep trying to completely empty our house, please pray we will have the energy to do all that is in front of us. We pray that as you head into the summer months God will bless you with times of rest and refreshment and we look forward to our time of fellowship with you. Louise and Pete.
Louise and Peter plan to be with us from 6-8pm on Thursday, 30th July. Make a note of this date in your diaries.
Message from Horsham Matters
To all at Brighton Road Baptist Church,
Thank you for donating to our foodbank. Your generosity will help make sure a family does not have to go hungry when there is no money left for food. Your donation will make 40 meals.
The cost of living increases continue to take a toll on residents and our 15 weekly foodbanks remain busy. March foodbank use was up 19% on the previous year and we expect the coming year to remain challenging for many given the further expected rises in energy and food prices.
With your support we can continue to provide practical support and impactful advice to make a difference. As one foodbank user told us recently: “Knowing I can use the foodbank when in a crisis takes the worry and guilt away. The constant feeling of not doing enough for my children is exhausting and the foodbank really helps.”
Kind regards,
Kelvin Glen
