Because so few were available to sign up for the Church Retreat at Penuel Ridge, we are rescheduling for the fall. If there is a particular date that doesn’t work for you, let us know. We are thinking of October at this time, and we will check on available weekends with Penuel Ridge. Thanks!
Brookmeade is a five for five church. We participate in all 5 of the UCC Special Offerings. The next is the One Great Hour of Sharing on March 11th. One Great Hour of Sharing, as part of Our Churches Wider Mission, is the special mission offering of the United Church of Christ that carries God’s message of love and hope to people in crisis. The UCC works with international partners to provide sources of clean water, food, education and health care, small business micro-credit, advocacy and resettlement for refugees and displaced persons, and emergency relief and rehabilitation. OGHS also supports domestic and international ministries for disaster preparedness and response. Look for the special offering envelopes. “Now to God be the glory, who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish for more than all we can ask or imagine” (Ephesions 3:20)
Sunday February 25th – Sunday, March 25th, 9:15-10:15 AM
For a special Lenten series, student pastors Sarah and Margaret will share various spiritual and prayer practices along with reflections for Lent. Join us as we learn and share new ways of listening for God’s voice during this time of wandering in the wilderness alongside Jesus.
2017 was a successful year for COW Sundays. What is COW Sunday? The first Sunday of every month we Contribute Our Wealth (COW) to help fight hunger in Middle Tennessee and worldwide. On COW Sunday we ask everyone to bring in non-perishable foods to put in the shopping cart. These foods are delivered to Second Harvest Food Bank. We also take up a cash collection that is split between Second Harvest and Heifer International. Remember to bring in food and extra offering for COW (Contribute Our Wealth) Sundays!
