Celebrating Harvest @ BRBC
We cordially invite everyone to our upcoming BRBC Harvest Service which will be on Sunday 27th September 2026 at 10:30am. It will be an hour-long service for all ages, followed by refreshments. For our Harvest collection we will again be receiving non-perishables for Horsham Matters Foodbank, as we have done in previous years. Our gifts have been very much appreciated in the past and we enjoy this opportunity of bringing food gifts in gratitude for God’s provision in our lives throughout the year.
To have a display on Sunday, items should be brought to the church either during the week or on Saturday 26th September between 9.30am and 10.30am. The Horsham Matters Food Bank is in need of the following items currently: Tinned Meat, Instant Hot Chocolate, Shampoo/Conditioner/Shower Gel, Soup, Tinned Tomatoes and Instant Cup-A-Soup. Many thanks!
Boxes needed for Harvest Gifts
All the harvest gifts will be donated to Horsham Matters as in previous years. But we need a supply of suitable boxes in which to pack the donated gifts. Please leave any suitable boxes by the reception area. Thank you.

Date for your diary
As we are now meteorologically in the Autumn Season it’s time to book dates for your Christmas Activities and top of the list I hope is the Crawley Millennium Concert band’s Christmas Concert, which this year will be on Saturday 19th December 7pm at Brighton Road Baptist Church . There will be the usual mix of showstoppers, festive music and Christmas carols with refreshments including mince pies in the interval. Entrance is free but there will be a retiring collection for Pancreatic Cancer. Look forward to seeing you there,
