Brighton Portico

We welcome all
who seek spiritual meaning in life,
all who believe religion is wider than any one faith

 

Solstice service: Sunday 15th December, 11am​ 

All are welcome at this Sunday's service which will be led by our minister Rev Jennifer Sanders.

 

Here at Brighton Unitarian Church we celebrate the winter and summer solstice and the Spring and Autumn equinox.  

In this quiet reflective service there is an opportunity to reflect on the last three months as the nights have got longer and the days shorter.

 

A time to take stock before the festivities begin

 

There will be an opportunity, if you wish, to share some thoughts about this time of year or maybe a poem or reading

ALL ARE  WELCOME 
 

The service will not be live-streamed on our YouTube channel so we hope to see you in person 

Do stay on afterwards to join us for coffee/tea/biscuits and a chat.

Welcome to our inclusive church

How to support Brighton Unitarian Church from the comfort of your sofa

Just a reminder that the church is partnered with Easy Fundraising if our members and friends would like to sign up in order to generate donations for the church as they shop online. This works a bit like the Amazon Smile scheme which recently closed but with many more choices as to where you shop. In fact Easy Fundraising is the UK’s biggest charity shopping site.

 

Launched in 2005, their community of over 2 million supporters have raised over £42 million for thousands of causes across the UK. Easy Fundraising partners with over 7,000 brands who will donate part of what you spend to a cause of your choice. It won’t cost you any extra. The cost is covered by the brand.

Once you’ve set up your account, you’ll have the option to install the EF browser extension which is called the Donation Reminder. It will pop up on every retailer site where a donation is available - which means you don’t have to remember to go via the EF website to do your shopping, just shop online as normal!

SERVICES

Our services draw their inspiration from diverse sources and the spiritual content depends on the service leader. Service leaders include members of the congregation, visiting ministers, and members of other Unitarian churches. Most services include an address, music, prayer or meditation and a quiet time for personal reflection. Readings come from the scriptures of the world faiths and wisdom traditions, philosophy and from contemporary literature and science.
