@GraceREThomas …. and welcome to our missional community too!

Pls pray for episcopal wisdom, considering a proposal that could impact the future viability of our wonderful church

[Nick Watson @NickEdgar67]

A day of wonderful and varied worship ends with lively praise, baptism, affirmation of baptism and confirmations with @BishMiddleton at @brunswickmcr - a celebration of what the Holy Spirit is doing through a church faithfully serving Jesus and the local community!

[Simon Gatenby @brunswickvic]

A joy to host @BishMiddleton at our confirmation (plus!). More than a hint of light to illuminate the Advent gloom!

@ArdwickClimate @brunswickmcr @BBCNWT @OfficialUoM @McrMuseum @ManCityCouncil A worthwhile cause to have put back our Sunday service for, & great to participate in. !

Tastiest guilt free (watermelon) birthday cake ever courtesy of my better half! Still can’t quite take in the number represented by the candles but I guess I have no choice but to roll with it!!

privileged to host both ⁦@JustinWelby⁩ & our own ⁦@BishManchester⁩ at church with Bec one of our missional partners from ⁦⁦@ascension_hulme⁩ and the Bolton Children’s Team. A moving final blessing that we might continue to be centres of compassion & justice.

A welcome guest to our morning prayer this morning!

[Simon Gatenby @brunswickvic]

New beginnings! From our youngests' 1st day setting out to school to his 1st @ uni. Both have now left home leaving 2 empty nesters! Huge thanks to @MedlockPS, @TrinityHighMcr, Loreto & Xavarian college, & God for supprting the journey so far. Our adventures continue!

[Simon Gatenby @brunswickvic]

Good to be back ( part2) 1st live gig in over 18 months! Smoove & Turrell storming Manchester.

[Simon Gatenby @brunswickvic]

Appropriately damp Manchester afternoon to showcase city centre heritage as well as chaplaincy opportunities. Good to have Westcott peeps up here once more (x2)

[Simon Gatenby @brunswickvic]

@brunswickmcr Getting closer day by day. Also looking forward to when the drilling stops next door!!

[Simon Gatenby @brunswickvic]

Good to be back:- it’s been a while!

[Simon Gatenby @brunswickvic]

Lovely 24 hour break with the better half celebrating 24th anniversary. Great walks, food, hotel :- but perhaps best of all, gaining highest all time score on a pinball that had us both playing for well over an hour. Took us back to similar times @ O’Sheas even longer ago!

[Simon Gatenby @brunswickvic]

@AzariahAnglican @BishMiddleton @archmanchester1 @ascension_hulme Hey next-door neighbour! Praying it goes well & look forward to catching up soon & discovering where we can work together.
