From the creators: "The After Party is a free six-part video course designed to provide an on-the-ground, biblically based approach to navigating today’s challenging political environment. It’s no secret that the church has been challenged by extreme polarization, entrenched tribal affiliations, and the broken relationships that often result. Our course, born of a deep friendship among Russell Moore, David French, and Curtis Chang, is both inspiring and practical and will help you reorient your heart and mind towards a Christ-centered political identity for 2024 and beyond. Through interactive videos that encourage participants to inventory their own political identities, consider the “how vs. the “what” of politics, and explore what the Bible has to say about it all, you’ll be equipped to navigate these challenging topics in your own life."
Open to all youth 7th grade and up (whether they are a part of Brookside or not) so please share with your friends and neighbors. Confirmation Interest & Availability Form

Charley Chipmunk and the Chipmunk Race
Our very own BCC member, Matt Lincoln, wrote a children's book that was to encourage kids with physical challenges to pursue their dreams while also recognizing selfless able-bodied friends who help them achieve success.
Recently, NASCAR driver Erik Jones, who has a children's literacy program (#readwitherik), read the book on Facebook!

Turning Yinward: A Traditional Yin & Kurma Yoga Experience with Susan Novick
Join us on Thursday, October 17 from 6:30PM- 8:00PM for a meditative & calming yoga experience led by Susan Novick. This 90 minute class will be a combination of yin yoga and kurma restorative yoga and will end with a mini sound bath at the end of class.
Yin yoga is a slow paced style of yoga that incorporates Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with yoga asana (postures). In Yin yoga, asanas are held for longer periods of time (3-5 min each) and are meant to stimulate the subtle bodies or chakras, which are known as meridians in TCM. Yin yoga increases circulation to joints, improves flexibility, and brings a gentle awareness to your inner silence.
