Sun. March 24th: RISE Gathering
February has flown by, which means RISE, the Gathering is just around the corner! At the RISE gathering, we will live into who we are as Brookmeaders by sharing and working together. Through our collaboration it is our hope that we will develop a focus and ground for decision making in the midst of our current and future transitions. We ask that you please fill out the questions in the RISE packet. These are located on the welcome table at church and in your weekly emails. It is important that we all think through and prepare answers to these questions individually in order that we all come to the gathering table prepared for our collective work. Each and every one of you is a beloved member of our community. At the gathering table there is a seat for us all.

Friday, March 22nd: Open Mic Night
Brookmeade is currently planning our 2019 Open Mic Night/Coffee House! Please join us for a fun evening of music and other talent.
Adora and Mike R. are organizing our event this year. When we asked Adora about plans for the evening she said, “This year we will be in the round. We would like folks to let us know if they have someone they want to share their set with and also if they prefer to be early in the evening or later.”
Our building will be open at 5:00 pm for folks who would like to get to the church early to practice. Contact Adora well in advance if an accompanist is needed, so she can make arrangements and get music to them.
Please RSVP to the church office by phone 615-352-4702 or by email at brookmeade@comcast.net. We will pass your info along to Adora. If you have any questions let us know when you RSVP. Thanks!
