WORSHIP SURVEY
Help the church Staff & Deacons plan for autumn by completing this brief (2-3 minute) survey- https://forms.gle/M9Y7iUGxthJDhjLk9
GARDENING IS WEDNESDAY 8/11, 5:30-6:30 this week!
We had our first harvest last week and are happy that our produce is going to feed hungry people. It has been a joy to connect food with faith. This ministry is open to all, any week throughout the summer. We hope you’ll join us! For more information, please contact Betsy Broome, Brookside’s pastoral intern, at ebroomemid@gmail.com.
Behind the Numbers
For the last few months, the updates about the roof project have been filled with numbers and statistics - important information to have when making an informed decision about whether we can do this project and do it well, and what we need from you to help make it happen.
However, behind every request for support and every gift given, there is a story.
It is within this building that we have celebrated marriages, honored loved ones who have died, heard inspiring messages and music, watched candles light up on Christmas Eve, sat quietly in prayer, listened to lectures, stretched during yoga, shared meals, told stories, and so many other experiences.
Whatever memory you hold dear, know that when you give to protect, enhance, or update the building, you are helping us to care for one of the most versitile tools we have for ministry. Just like any tool, to keep it useful and functional we need to take care of it. Thank you for helping us do so.
