Transcript of “Have you heard? He’s...

“Have you heard? He’s alive!” “No, it can’t have happened.” “Yes, it’s true! The Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon.” Imagine, after the events of the week before, that poignant last meal with the 12, Jesus’ arrest in the garden, the sham trial, the torture and crucifixion and then the broken exsanguinated body being laid in a tomb, sealed behind a huge rock. Truly, it is finished. And, to cap it all, the grave is desecrated and the body goes missing. Then you hear the rumours, just a murmuring at first, and then, “It is true! The Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon.” Are you dumbfounded, do you refuse to believe, or does your heart leap as you dare to imagine that it might just have been possible…? And then the appearances multiply, in the upper room, without Thomas, and then again when Thomas is with them, on the road to Emmaus, on the beach at breakfast time until there are so many witnesses it must be true. Wonderful news! But what does it mean for us? When we stop and think about it, the resurrection is a momentous event. The implications are profound. A man who was dead is now alive. But more than that, a man who the political powers had pursued and so finally silenced, is once again up and about spreading his message. Even the ultimate weapon, death itself, was not enough to defeat this man who challenged them with his message. And then when we read the story on a cosmic spiritual level, not even the power of sin and death could hold him. Evil had done its worst and been found impotent before Jesus. It is proof that God really can do the impossible.

This week I was at the Holy Biscuit discussing their exhibition: Your Deeds Don’t Define You. This was in partnership with Junction 42 who work with prisoners and ex-offenders. “Can I escape from my past misdeeds? Is there hope or will I forever be in this state of despair, locked into a cycle of crime and offending, and dare we say, sin?” All these questions were wrestled with through the art on display.
The Easter story, of death and resurrection, is one of good news. Good does triumph over evil. We can die to the past and be raised again in new life. We can enter into this new life now. In his resurrection, Jesus makes all this possible. And that is good news worth sharing! This Easter season, imagine what the resurrection might mean for you. What difference might it make to your perspective on life, the way you live and your relationship with others? What difference will it make to your relationship with God? Happy Easter! May this season be a blessing to you. Michael
Alleluia, Christ is risen. He is risen indeed, Alleluia!

Dear Friends
It is finally getting lighter in the mornings and despite the sniffles and sneezes which still plague some of us, nature is steadily awakening from its winter slumber. As I sit writing this at the table in our conservatory, I am surprised to notice that in our garden even the hunt for the best property is in full swing, as feathered friends examine the different choices of bird box spring accommodation on offer. Some seem to have settled in already.
And even though it is still cold, I am also already detecting a brightening of people’s moods. Smiles are exchanged more readily and it seems like our sense of humour has returned as well, as people appear more open to seeing the lighter side of things and are also perhaps not taking themselves as seriously. I am always fascinated by the effect that light can have on us. The positivity it can evoke is undisputed.
A good sized group of people from Brunswick chose this year to journey
through Lent by reading Richard Foster’s ‘The Celebration of Discipline’ together. Some chose to read it for themselves, and a fair amount attended a weekly, informal gathering to share our insights from the book.
Fitting for the season of Lent, we studied chapters which focused on the disciplines which will enrich our discipleship, including the obvious ones like prayer and study, fasting and meditation, but also those less obvious ones like solitude and simplicity, service and submission. We had many lively discussions and were challenged and encouraged and sharpened by each other.
The final chapter surprised us as it focussed on the ‘unexpected’ spiritual discipline of celebration. I was intrigued to notice how not only moods, but even postures lifted as we engaged in this interesting and inspiring concept of celebration as a spiritual discipline. This chapter became for us the ‘light’ at the end of our introspective Lent journey, when we often wondered how on earth
5
we could, in any sustainable fashion, incorporate some of these principles in our daily Christian walk. Celebration, we learned, turned out to be the key, the one discipline which fuelled all the others.
Celebrating life, celebrating God’s faithfulness, celebrating the goodness of the earth, the many, many blessings through human relationships, and the gifts of prayer, and study, fasting, worship, the gifts of service and solitude, and simplicity; the beauty of the way in which God has ordered the rhythms of life, not only of nature, but for us too, so that we move from seasons of dormant rest and self-examination to visible growth and maturity and a deeper, richer way of being in and with God.
And celebration at the heart of it all, to sustain us through it all. A constant attitude of gratitude for whichever season we might find ourselves in.
My prayer for us all is that we will learn afresh, or perhaps for the first time, how to incorporate this ‘surprising’ discipline into our personal and church family life, because as the empty tomb on Easter morning testified, celebration and freedom is at the heart of the Christian message.
Love and blessings from Liesl

Over the last couple of months we’ve been meeting every week for Bible study and fellowship. Here are a few of the highlights of what we’ve been up to.
Christian Union Events Week
In February we cooked a two-course meal for 100 hungry students at Newcastle University Christian Union events week alongside the Chinese Methodist Church. It was a great night and although we spent most of it in the kitchen surrounded by pots of chilli and rice cookers, we had a great time serving at the event. We also got great feedback from those eating. Many of those attending had been invited by their Christian friends, to eat food, hear a
talk on the Christian faith and make friends and overall it was a great success.
20’s-30’s Church Ball
At the end of January we helped to organize the first Newcastle Churches 20’s-30’s ball. Many were invited to the three-course meal event at Jesmond Cricket Club and it was a great success. Everyone left having made friends, feeling full of delicious food and with sore feet from dancing.
‘Your deeds don’t define you’ Exhibition
In early March we went to the Holy Biscuit to see the launch of this excellent exhibition, which showcased art from women in prison who are involved in Junction 42’s work in HMP Low Newton. It was a fantastic exhibition.
Youth Reps
We have a few members who are representing the Methodist Connexion this year as Youth Reps. Georgia Harrison is representing young people at Methodist Conference, Ruth Hall is representing on Methodist Council and Grace McAloon is part of the British Youth Council.

There is always room at the Cross
There it was as we turned the corner while out driving one evening in the country. “There is always room at the Cross.” The
Cross, of course, was the local village Inn. It was typically small and dark and promised a lot with such a sign.
As we drove on we thought of another cross - the cross of
Calvary. On Good Friday we will boldly declare that there is always room at the cross of Jesus. Strangely though, during his
time on earth there had been no room for Jesus at his birth in the Inn at Bethlehem. There was no room for Jesus in life and
yet in death there was room on the cross. It was a space he took on our behalf, willingly, but at a cost. Maybe it is a reminder to
us at this time when we see so many displaced people being told there is no room that Jesus always had room for everyone. And
perhaps we need to learn from him and be willing to bear the cost of embracing them in their need.
Just as there was room for Jesus so there is room at the cross
for us all. Here is where all can come and find rest and relief from our burdens. Jesus said: “Come to me all who are tired of
carrying heavy loads and I will give you rest.”
Jesus invites us all to come to him whatever is happening in our
lives. He died for my sins and yours and I thank him that there is room for you and me.
To the cross I come, Lord, There for me is room, Lord.
Poor unworthy me, yes even me. Pardon every sin, Lord,
Place thy power within, Lord, Then I from this hour will follow thee.

My week at Cliff College
In March I spent my
second week at Cliff
College. The first was in
October when we studied
Christian Discipleship.
This one was about
Christian Mission. The
week was both
challenging and
inspiring. I learnt about the good news of Jesus, what that
means for us today, and how to communicate that to people in
their own context. We also discussed the parable of the Good
Samaritan, and thought about how loving our neighbour means
loving all people in the world because we all share this world
together, and we should all be fighting for global justice.
One seminar that particularly struck me was one about God’s
Mission, and the idea that God’s Mission is happening right
now, and we have the privilege to be a part of that Mission,
regardless of our occupation, skills or status. Getting involved
in God’s Mission should be at the heart of the Church, not just
an activity of the Church.
I feel so blessed that I was able to spend the week at Cliff
College - I feel refreshed and excited, and I can’t wait to use
what I have learnt in my work at Brunswick. At the end of the
week, all the students were presented with a table of small
wooden hearts, carved out of olive wood by a man in
Bethlehem. The hearts all had different
patterns on them and we were invited to
choose one we felt drawn to. We were able
to take the heart we had chosen as a gift and
a reminder of God’s love for each individual
person.

The Vice-President's Easter Message: The image that fills my mind this Easter is Jesus weeping over Jerusalem. Jesus longs to gather us as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but do we want to be saved? When we see the news, it seems we are set on a path to our own destruction. Ann Carr, one of the early women preachers, was sent to Leeds as a missionary in 1821, to work among the very poor. The majority were women, migrants from the countryside, desperate to find work in the textile industry. Lonely and lost. Displaced from home and family. Young single women, ‘fallen women’, widows. In seeking to share the good news, Ann found that the hymns of the time didn’t use images that related to women’s experience. With Martha Williams, she founded the Female Revivalist Methodists and produced their own hymn book, adapting the words of traditional hymns, and writing their own. They gave women a voice. Seen through the eyes and hearts of the women who were first at the tomb on Sunday morning, I find some of the Easter hymns particularly moving. ‘Bring the sweet spices of your sight, Your contrite hearts and streaming eyes, Your sad complaints and humble fears! Come, and embalm him with your tears.’ ‘Mary – know thy Saviour’s voice, Hear it and reply, My Lord!’ ‘Happy Magdalene, to whom Christ the Lord vouchsafed to appear.’ ‘What a change his word can make, Turning darkness into day; Ye who weep for Jesu’s sake, He will wipe your tears away.’ This Easter we share Christ’s tears for our world in all its pain. For children drowned fleeing from the unimaginable horrors of war. For unaccompanied children in the jungle at Calais. For all those caught up in the bewildering cycle of seemingly endless violence, in which it is not even clear who is fighting whom. Amongst it all we rejoice in signs of hope. I rejoice in a group of friends, calling themselves the Worldwide Tribe, who decided to go to Calais to stand alongside the migrants in the Jungle. ‘They can use force, be inhumane and cruel … We will respond with love. We will meet their ruthlessness with openness. We will accept their brutality with dignity … We will stand in solidarity, as brothers and sisters of the world. We will peacefully and gracefully continue towards equality. We will work together, side by side, as one community of international citizens. Violence, fear and oppression will never win.’

The Easter message is one of hope in the midst of despair, life from death, love stronger than hate. At the moment of utter darkness, the light of the risen Christ breaks through. Love wins. Dr Jill Barber Vice President of the Methodist Conference
The President's Easter Message: After the Lenten fast, which with study and prayer has brought us closer to our Lord, we experience Holy Week with all the riches of the story so well known yet always fresh. As I've travelled, I'm thrilled that so many churches now make a Lenten cross out of the main trunk of the Christmas tree and decorate it with all the different symbols. There are so many resources to help us these days in our journey of discipleship. But the glory of Easter is unsurpassed. The cry of all Christians to shout 'Hallelujah' is our birthright. We want and need more of the resurrection power and joy in the Church. Luke recording the early days of Christianity says of the first believers 'With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all' - Acts 4:33. This time last year I had the great privilege of going to Portugal and being on a Holy Week mission with Bishop Alfreado and meeting our Methodist sisters and brothers in that beautiful country. We did many exciting outreach initiatives. On Easter Day I was at Aveiro Methodist Church, a thrilling place to be. We passed by a large Roman Catholic procession, children in white and the bright sun gleaming on the banners. We Methodists are small in comparison, but each church member was invited to bring a person to Easter breakfast and the hall was full when I arrived and shared in a very hearty breakfast. The worship band and singers enabled us to worship in the glory of the risen Christ and I preached on Mary's encounter with the risen Lord - challenging the congregation to meet with him too. The silver chalices and beautiful loaf were uncovered on the table. I had an interpreter and so my words could have been misunderstood,
13
but I held half the bread and said: "If you want a living relationship with the risen Christ take and eat". At which point a blonde young woman got up in her pew walked down the aisle and dug into the bread weeping. She pushed the bread down her throat. It's the strongest reaction I've ever known to someone wanting to encounter the triumphant Jesus. A Methodist President and brilliant speaker of years past, William Sangster, was found by his wife one Easter morning weeping. He had cancer of the throat and could not speak. She said: "Why are you crying Will?" He wrote on a piece of paper: 'It is Easter Day and I cannot say: "Hallelujah"'. This Easter, with joy and love, may we all cry Hallelujah and encounter the risen Lord. Rev Steven Wild President of the Methodist Conference

The UK Foodbank Network
The Trussell Trust runs a network of over 400 foodbanks, giving emergency food and support to people in crisis across the UK, where thirteen million people live below the poverty line. In the last year we gave 1,084,604 three day emergency food supplies to people in crisis.
This Easter, can you help us change the lives of so many people by becoming a Friend of The Trussell Trust and supporting us with a regular gift of £10 a month? Also, cash donations are always welcome at our local food bank, on the West Road. They can be used to collect bulk food donations and then get ten times as much food for the pound spent - £100 spent on haulage brings in £1000 worth of food. Cheques can be made payable to Newcastle West End Food Bank, or you can transfer money directly to their bank account, or you can post your donation to the treasurer’s address. There is an information sheet in the folder attached to our Food Bank box in the worship area, and standing order forms are also available.
April Item-of-the-Month – Biscuits and Snack Bars
May Item-of-the-Month – Instant Mash Potato
Please donate 'normal' sized food items - the Food Bank staff are not allowed to split packets of food, so 5kg bags of pasta are a challenge! Also, please feel free to leave any unwanted plastic carrier bags beside the food bank box - they are used to put the food in for the clients.
For any further details, please speak to Ruth Colclough, and thank you for your continued support!
Foodbank Update
As promised in the last issue, here is an update on the work Interserve has
carried out so far at the West End Foodbank following the unfortunate break-
in that occurred back in December. Literally days after writing the last article,
North East: 87,693 three day emergency food supplies given to people in crisis in 2014/15
15
my team finished putting the final
coat of paint on the metal protective
sheet, and with the help of the
Foodbank van, we transported it to
site and spent a day fitting it up.
The photographs show the before
and after, with the new steel plate
fitted with security bolts to provide
future burglar proofing. We also
spent two days replacing all of the
old fluorescent light fittings in the
main hall area with smart new lights
which are more energy efficient than the original ones. Finally, two of our
painters have repainted the toilets to spruce them up.
We are now awaiting the delivery of the new kitchen units and work surfaces,
and I am negotiating with a flooring supplier to look at a new kitchen floor.
I am delighted that Interserve have requested that I look at other ways of
forming a more permanent relationship between the company and the
Foodbank over the coming years. This will not only take the form of physical
buildings assistance, but may also see some of our team serving Christmas
lunch or assisting sorting food parcels etc.
As I write this, I am reminded of the hymn 'When I needed a neighbour were
you there, were you there?'. For the business this, in the first instance, is
purely a part of our Corporate Sustainability and Social Responsibility work,
while most of the staff view
it as a couple of days of
something different and
doing something good in
the community. However, I
find something much
deeper reflected in this
eagerness to help out a
neighbour in need,
regardless of 'creed or
colour or name' as the hymn
continues. Personally I am
blessed to see God at work
in all sorts of ways and in all
sectors of society. Richard Warren, Site Manager with Interserve

A Question……..
What is the link between Brunswick Methodist Church, The Biscuit Factory, Gibson Street (in Byker), and the Holy Biscuit?
The Answer is a rather remarkable woman called Susannah Gibson.
Those of you who meticulously read and assimilate Brunswick’s annual accounts may recognise this name because one of the funds which annually contribute to our income is that of the Susannah Gibson Fund. Each year we receive a small sum of money, which was originally intended to be distributed to Wesleyan Ministers who had fallen on hard times. The sums involved would scarcely buy a hot meal, in today’s world, but in 1881, when Susannah Gibson wrote her Will she left £500 for this purpose.
A copy of Susannah’s Will was recently discovered by Ramy Zack, the owner of the Biscuit Factory, and he drew it to our attention because Susannah was a committed Christian who worshipped at and was a member of Brunswick. Reading the Will it becomes apparent that she was not only a wealthy, but also a remarkable and very interesting woman.
Her Will leaves many bequests to various Methodist causes, here and abroad, with particular emphasis on supporting women and children. Her life was clearly not that of a typical Victorian woman; she had a concern for the hardship faced by many working people, particularly women. She took the teachings of Jesus, and John Wesley, very seriously and being a women of considerable means and determination she did something about it during her lifetime. A major project was to build a factory in Shieldfield to provide employment to women in this very poor area. The factory made biscuits and is
17
today The Biscuit Factory, the largest privately owned art gallery in England. Her vision and commitment to the area is also evident in the naming of a street after her, this being Gibson Street that still runs from Shieldfield, through the Battlefield to the Quayside. Opposite the Biscuit Factory is the Holy Biscuit, once Shieldfield Methodist Church and now a Christian art gallery/community centre, run by our Circuit, but converted through the generosity of Ramy Zack.
One other piece of evidence that this was a woman, not only of Christian principles but also ahead of her time, is a clause in her Will that I find fascinating and worthy of note. It says: “Every gift made by this, my Will, made to or in favour of a woman who shall be married in my lifetime, or afterwards, shall be for her separate use, free from any marital control or enjoyment.”
Some of you may have been aware of the story of this remarkable woman but it took the curiosity of the present owner of the Biscuit Factory, who researched the history of the building and its original owner, to discover her Will and bring it to our attention.
I, for one, am delighted at this evidence of faith in action in Brunswick’s past. Long may it continue.

A Chinese Celebration
On learning that members of Brunswick Church were invited to attend the service of the Chinese Church at 1pm on
Sunday 14th February to celebrate the Chinese New Year, I thought that nobody would mind if I gatecrashed the
event.
The service, which was conducted in Chinese and English, was delightful. One highlight was the item involving a
group of young Chinese children, dressed in traditional costume, who sang with great enthusiasm and well-
orchestrated hand movements.
Following the service, food, both Chinese and English, was provided in the hall. I had taken my Chinese chess set
in anticipation of a few games and was not disappointed.
The welcome extended to guests was truly overwhelming. In view of my interest in Chinese language and culture I
was asked to attend again whenever I am able, an invitation to which I certainly intend to respond.

A new hymn from the website of our hymn book, Singing the Faith
In this house all people will be welcome
In this house all people will be welcome. In this house all people will find love. Open the doors so all the world may enter. Open your hearts and share the love of God.
Refrain
Let the cross shine out like a beacon bringing hope to all who need your love. As we sing our song of adoration let our lives reflect the love of God.
We are here to worship in God’s presence, singing songs of worship, songs of love. Just as this place bears witness to God’s splendour may our lives bear witness to his love.
Refrain
For the Church is more than bricks and concrete,
more than glass and metal, nails and wood.
It’s in the lives of all of those who serve him
and who show the world the love of God.
Refrain

THANK YOU to MARJORIE
At the beautiful age of 90 Marjorie Power has decided that the time has come for her to lay down her duties as welcoming steward at our coffee shop.
Marjorie has served Brunswick in very many capacities over many, many years and her heart has been particularly with the mission of the coffee shop, which was inspired in the early 80’s by her husband Edwin.
Marjorie says that she feels that the time has come for her to simply enjoy the company of the visitors to the café and to relax with a cuppa herself! As a church family we wholeheartedly want to support her in that decision and want to thank Marjorie for all that she has so lovingly done in her various roles, for all the sacrifices made in order
to serve Brunswick and for her lovely smile of welcome at the door, which we are so pleased will still be seen on a regular basis around coffee shop.
