Seniors “Young at Heart” Ministry

It is with deep gratitude that I thank the twelve donors who supported the Brookside Seniors “Young at Heart” Ministry.

Each month, we hand deliver a homemade treat and a prayer card to between twenty and twenty-five senior members of our congregation and community. This ministry has enabled us to have face to face contact, fellowship, and remind individuals who have been deeply impacted by the pandemic that they are remembered and cared for.

Please know that each of you have brightened their days and that they deeply appreciate (and anticipate) the treat and visit. If you would like to participate in this ministry through sponsorship, making deliveries, creating treats, or in another way, please contact me at linchilld7@gmail.com.

Thanks for helping to make a difference in the lives of our seniors!

Best, Linda Fairchild


God Journeys With Us into 2022

This year was one of many difficulties, but also many joys. Just at the right moment small miracles reminded us that God is with us and our congregation. As we care for one another, as we care for our neighbor, we remember that God is with us and encourages us to continue forward.

As we come to year’s end, we have appreciated the numerous above and beyond gifts we have received. Learn more about the ways you can give here (including information on donating stock to avoid capital gains tax):

In our Hearts, In our Prayers:

Those grieving the death of Lois M.

Strength and healing for Herb P.

For those impacted by Covid, including several individuals in our faith community

The prayers shared aloud on Sunday morning*

The lonely, the isolated, the anxious, the fearful

The sick, the dying, the grieving

Students, teachers, administrators

All those facing devastating losses from tornadoes, wildfires, and earthquakes

The people of Afghanistan, of Haiti, and all who live in places of uncertainty and violence

Our leaders, our communities, our nation
