    New Message Series: Aug. 16



    World Changers

    A special thanks to all who contributed to helping with World Changers. Various LifeGroups pitched in by sponsoring meals and making donations to this group while they were working in the area.

    Challenge Week Banners

    This week, students have been discovering the eikon or image intended for their lives. Each of the twelve groups is named after one of Jesus' disciples. One of the Challenge Week challenges is for each group to create a banner showing how their disciple lived a life in the image of Jesus and how their group can do the same. The winners of the banner challenge are the Disciples of Philip! Here is what the students had to say about their banner.


    Promotion

    Momentum will promote on August 10 and Velocity on August 13.

    Children will promote August 16-17. Parents will be able to attend an orientation session to prepare for the promotion. The sessions take place August 9, 4:45-5:15; August 10, 9:45-10:15; and August 10, 10:45-11:15. All sessions take place in Room 213.

    Preschoolers will promote August 16-17. However, not all preschoolers will be ready to promote at this time due to age and stage of development. Please refer to your check-in receipt on that weekend for room assignment.

    Get Connected

    LifeGroups (small groups) are the lifeblood of Brookwood. As the church grows larger, we must continue to grow smaller through LifeGroups. Brookwood's LifeGroups are primarily grouped based on gender and marital status. These adult small groups create opportunities for adults to:
    • participate in personalized Bible study
    • connect with adults like themselves
    • be cared for and care for others
    • invite their friends to Bible study
    Most of Brookwood's LifeGroups meet in homes in the community during the week. Some groups for Senior Adults meet on Sunday morning at 8:00am and 10:45am. These groups go to worship at 9:15am.
