Hope for the Journey
Six months ago, we embarked on a journey of faith. In the midst of a global pandemic that impeded our ability to gather indoors for over a year, we set a goal to raise $130K to restore and replace our roof. This week we crossed that threshold together.
Together, we have given a similar amount to the General Fund, supporting the continued vital work and mission of the church. In addition to worship, we have held weekly Zoom gatherings for seniors, welcomed Betsy as our intern, read Liturgy of the Ordinary and the New Jim Crow, provided at-home worship materials for Lent, planted and tended a summer garden, packed lunch bags for nourishNJ, partnered with Mendham churches on several projects, and so much more.
Thank you for journeying with us in hope, for exercising your faith by stretching your giving to meet expanding needs, for supporting our vibrant ministries in so many ways.
Whether you give more than you pledged to the General Fund or make an additional gift to Raise the Roof, your end-of-year giving makes a difference at Brookside.

Updated materials for home use (candles and liturgy) are available to be picked up in the Fellowship Hall during Rest in the Rush and after worship on Sundays. More information about seasonal offerings can be found here: https://www.brooksidechurch.org/advent-2021
Missed 11/28? Come during “Rest in the Rush” on 11/30 or arrange another time with two other households and Pastor Nicolette is happy to host. Additional cookie sheet donations are welcome.
In our Hearts, In our Prayers:
The lonely, the isolated, the anxious, the fearful
The sick, the dying, the grieving
Students, teachers, administrators
All those facing devastating losses from hurricanes, wildfires, and earthquakes
The people of Afghanistan and all who live in places of uncertainty and violence
Our leaders, our communities, our nation
Prayer Joys and Concerns will be listed weekly. Requests received by Tuesday of each week will be included in @ Brookside and will remain there for a month unless otherwise requested. Please forward your requests during the week to: office@brooksidechurch.org
