Let's get social
Church this week is in person only, we would love for you to come and join us…there is no need to book a space just turn up! Look forward to seeing you 😃
Don't forget church is on Zoom not YouTube this morning and next Sunday as Simon is on holiday...hope to see you there 🙂
This year as we can't walk to the cross together Simon has recorded a short message reflecting on Jesus saying "it is finished". If you walk up Picquet Hill you will find a QR code on the cross that links to the talk, or if you just want somewhere level there is also a QR code by the Easter Garden outside the Chapel. The talk can also be found on our YouTube channel youtu.be/y3D6vwriH0g
We are joining together for an outdoor service at Chapel on Sunday to celebrate the greatest day in history...we would love it if you would like to join us!
This morning we are meeting back in person 🥳 to help with this we are asking that you book a space to make sure we are socially distanced! simon@brattonbaptistchurch.org.uk We are continuing to meet online on YouTube at 11am youtu.be/bFVDTs4jBD4 - hope we get to see you afterwards for coffee on Zoom, message if you need the link 🙂

The story of Zacchaeus. A very little man who was desperate to see Jesus.
A tragic story. Our thoughts and prayers go to everyone concerned.
Can't thank everyone enough for all of their kind words and well wishes
Rebecca is stable following her ordeal today and is 🤞on the long road to recovery.
Not out of the woods yet but a huge thank you also to the unbelievable people at the NHS.
Literally miracle workers ❤️
It’s worth listening to David Halls, the organist at @SalisburyCath talk about the #covid19 #vaccination centre at Salisbury Cathedral #faithinaction https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006wqvh
Absolutely made my morning hearing @laurenlaverne read my message to my family on @BBC6Music. It’s been a really tough couple of weeks, and listening to her talk to @samaritans made me realise that while the pandemic sometimes makes me feel very lonely, I’m never really alone.

You might be surprised to hear it’s not the building in the picture (that’s just where we meet) but a group of people of all ages living in Bratton and the surrounding area who have faith that what Jesus Christ taught is true, and if followed will transform everyone’s lives for the better.
