@ Brookside . . . Week of September 11th
Faith leaders in Chester, Mendham and Long Valley/Washington Township will hold a vigil at the Chester Gazebo to mark the International Day of Peace on Sep. 21. The interfaith vigil will include prayers, a moment of silence, music and remarks by local leaders.
Each year the International Day of Peace is observed throughout the world on September 21. In 1981, the United Nations General Assembly declared this as a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace through observing 24 hours of non-violence and cease-fire.
We believe healthy communities start with healthy people forming strong relationships, which is why we are collaborating to host a day-long Wellness Fair. Our vision for the day includes a series of workshops covering various topics and wellness practices, an area for vendors to offer holistic health related goods and services, an area for children featuring age-appropriate programming, and a silent auction.

In our Hearts, In our Prayers:
The prayers shared aloud on Sunday morning*
Those who grieve, especially
- Sue B on the loss of her mother.
- those who love Sarah F. whose service will be 9/18 at 12:30pm
Those who feel broken in body, mind, or spirit
Those who are recovering from surgery or illness
The lonely, the isolated, the anxious
The people of Sri Lanka, Ukraine, Russia, Afghanistan, and all who live in places of transition or war
Our leaders, our communities, our nation
