Joy In the Journey
As we reflect on our year together, we celebrate the many ways we continued our church’s vital work and mission of the church. We rejoiced together as we worshipped, we 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.
Our hope-filled journey has included exercising your faith by stretching your giving to meet expanding needs. Thank you 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. Learn more about the ways you can give here (including information on donating stock to avoid capital gains tax):

Or give now online through your checking account or credit card:
Your generosity over the past two years in the midst of so much uncertainty has been a testament to your steadfast faith. Thank you. We did not engage in a formal “stewardship campaign” this year, but if you would like to let the church leadership know about your giving plan (especially if it is significantly different from prior years), please complete this secure form: https://brooksidecc.breezechms.com/form/851661
In addition to the open sanctuary, crafts and Advent wreath supplies are available in the Scialla Hall.

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
