“Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. While President Abraham Lincoln had issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, many enslavers continued to hold enslaved Black people captive after that date. On June 19, 1865, Union Major General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced the end of the Civil War and slavery. Thus, Juneteenth became a symbolic date representing African American freedom. Juneteenth officially became the 11th federal holiday on June 17, 2021.”
Messiah Episcopal in Chester, together with Brookside UCC and other local congregations will commemorate this date with a service of music, readings, prayer, resources, and children’s activities. Please join us.
Contact Nicolette if you’re able to help that day.

What does “Safe Church” mean?
As the news is flooded with the history of abuse and cover-ups in the Southern Baptist Church, and as we know about a similar history in the Catholic Church, it is important to know that Brookside Community Church UCC is commited to being a safe place for all people, especially children and vulnerable adults.
To that end, we background check individuals who work with our children, have systems in place to minimize opportunities to cause harm, and should there be an allegation of misconduct, have a plan of action. The below document outlines the principles and standards that we adhere to. If you have questions about Safe Church, please contact Pastor Nicolette or Kim M. who oversees Safe Church.
In our Hearts, In our Prayers:
The prayers shared aloud on Sunday morning*
Those who grieve, especially the loved ones of Marion Rames (grandmother of Kellie F) and James Miller (father of Jack M)
The lonely, the isolated, the anxious, the fearful
The sick, the dying, the grieving
Students, teachers, administrators
All who continue to be impacted by Covid-19
The people of Ukraine, Russia, Afghanistan, and all who live in places of uncertainty and violence
Our leaders, our communities, our nation
