Brookmeade and Holy Trinity Community Church have a long history together. In light of this history and in the spirit of exploring future possibilities, we will be looking for chances for our congregations to get to know one another better. The first of these will be a congregation swap in which we invite all Brookmeaders to go worship with Holy Trinity on Sunday April 24th, and Holy Trinity will come worship with us on Sunday May 8th. We sincerely hope that all who are able will attend service at HTCC at 10am (yes, that’s half an hour earlier!) on April 24th. HTCC is located at 6727 Charlotte Pike Nashville, TN 37209.
Starting April 20th we will have a new yoga class at Brookmeade! Singer-Songwriter and Yoga Teacher Extraorginaire Ali Sperry will be leading the class for us. The cost is $15.00 per class, and you will find that Ali is a wonderful and fun teacher! Here is a link to her website: https://www.alisperryyoga.com/
The class is Easy Yoga & Restorative Yoga. All positions can be adapted for newcomers and for those of us who are old in body but young in heart! All are welcome!
The schedule will be as follows: Wednesday, April 13, 4:00 pm: Class with Zoom with Ali Sperry (pre-recorded) Wednesday, April 20, 4:00 pm: Live Class on Zoom with Ali Sperry Wednesday, May 4, 4:00 pm: Live Class on Zoom with Ali Sperry Wednesday, May 11, 4:00 pm: Live Class on Zoom with Ali Sperry

This Lenten season from Sunday March 6th through Sunday April 3rd, we are asking you to bring your loose change to church! Our Change for Change fundraiser will be done in collaboration with Holy Trinity Community Church. Which church do you think can collect the most pounds of coins over the month of Lent? This fundraiser will benefit Room in the Inn, a nonprofit organization that serves individuals experiencing homelessness in the Nashville area. So start turning over your couch cushions, filling your change jars, and checking your pockets so that your change can be a part of bringing change!
