3 is for 3 Surprising Needs
The office copier broke, a mold mitigating air conditioning unit failed, a glass door shattered. Just like in an aging home, there are always repairs that need to be made. The trustees can handle most of these expenses out of the church budget, however large projects like the roof require special fundraising.
2 is for $2K
$2000 is the average gift we need in order to reach our goal. If you are financially able,* please consider giving at least this amount.
1 is for Once is a Lifetime
While our church will still need to protect and maintain the buildings and property, if we do this project right (which is what we’re aiming to do), the roof over the sanctuary will not need to be replaced again for 70 years. That’s why this is a once in a lifetime project.
GARDENING IS WEDNESDAY 8/4, 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.
9:30 am In Person Worship Sunday, August 8th
If the weather is nice, we’ll meet OUTSIDE in the Anderson Wing courtyard
If the weather is poor, we’ll meet INSIDE
Regardless, we will also livestream via Zoom.
