We had an AMAZING day in the Brighthelm Gardens last Saturday 3rd August when Brighton Pride was on in the city.  We had a drum circle, dancing, face painting and glitter art, spiritual readings and dream interpretations.  There was a hive of activity all around the gardens, with many people visiting the city, some for the first time!

There was such an atmosphere of peace in the gardens, and a lot of JOY, love and colour released 🙂

It was great to have lots of help for this event – and a BIG thank you to all the Essence course attendees (from Movement in Worship) who put their training into practice, sharing God’s love with the public.

Take a look at some of the days photos… our NEXT OASIS is on Saturday 7th September, 11am – 4pm – See you there

Come and join us THIS Saturday 3rd August, 11am-4pm in the Brighthelm Gardens.

All-inclusive event held in our sun-kissed garden space at Brighthelm on North Road – come together to enjoy a day jam-packed with activities. Activities include face painting, spiritual readings, dream interpretation, movement, drum circle and much more!

In just two weeks churches across the world will begin the ten day wave of prayer that is Thy Kingdom Come.

We are going to be joining with Kingdom Come 9 days of prayer at The Dip, 31st May – 8th June.

It’s an exciting time to pray for the local church, friends, families, Brighton & Hove and our nation… that God’s Kingdom COME!

We would like to invite you to an evening of prayer and worship during ‘Thy Kingdom Come Prayer Week’ at The Dip on Friday 7th June from 7.30-9.00pm (119d Hollingdean Terrace, BN1 7HB).

We will also be holding a Prayer Breakfast at The Dip on Saturday 8th June, 9.30am-11am, which you would also be welcome to attend.

This week we are celebrating the wonder of Easter! If you would like to come and join us, you would be more than welcome! Please check out our events this week…

Last Sunday we started our year by recapping City Gate Church’s Core Values, a focus for our teaching during 2019.

Take a look at some of the canvases that we started illustrating. It was great discussing the importance of what we value!

– Lives devoted to God
– Fellowship and community living
– Growing Church
– Unity
– Giving
– Our local community for God
– Embracing the least and the lost

We also spent time thanking God for the New year and taking Communion together!

Next Sunday 20th January, we have visiting speaker Kath Jones from Southwater Community Methodist Church joining us, to talk about ‘Giving’ and sharing her insights to one of our Core Values!

This Sunday 13th January is our first ALTOGETHER meeting of the year. Starting at 10.30am for tea and coffee, followed by 11am meeting with communion. An opportunity to face the year in the same direction, enjoying being altogether – worshipping, praying and thinking creatively as we look ahead to all that God has for us in 2019! Look forward to seeing you there! Everyone welcome 

Thank you to everyone who helped at our Christmas Celebration last Sunday… it was lovely to see so many visitors and enjoy a special time together.

May 2019 bring God’s blessings for the year ahead.
