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 7th 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.''

July Midweek Prayer Gathering
Those who attended the most recent Wednesday evening prayer gathering (on 10th June) felt that we should bring forwards the start time of the BRBC Prayer Gathering in July on Wednesday 8th to 7pm instead of 8pm because of the difficulty encountered in parking in the church car park at the later time.
