    December 31

    Prayer Meeting will take place as scheduled, but all other activities are cancelled.


    Linwood Food Bank

    The food bank’s supply is running very low. They need our help to feed those in need. The following items are needed: dried beans, biscuit mix, shampoo, ketchup, sugar, canned goods, grits, instant potatoes, salt, and cooking oil. Turn in donations at the Information Center.


    Johannesburg Mission Trip

    Pray for the following short-term volunteer missionaries as they go to Johannesburg, South Africa to lead the worship for the Regional Missionary Retreat, Dec. 22-Jan. 2. Pray for travel safety, health, and that God will use them to bless our IMB missionaries in that region of the world as they lead them in worship.

    D-NOW Weekend

    The Student Ministry's D-NOW Weekend, January 16-17, is an all-night lock-in at Group Dynamix in Dallas, TX. This event is for 9th – 12th grade students. The cost will be $45 per student, due January 4. The fee will cover everything but a couple of fast food meals and souvenirs. This weekend will be a great team building opportunity. Students will leave Friday, January 16, 5:30pm, and arrive back home Saturday, January 17, around noon. Students, make sure to fill out a Group Dynamix event consent form. This form must be turned in before the trip and can be found in the Tank at the welcome table. For more information, contact Kevin Nettles or Tina Martin.


    2008 Budget Contributions

    Thank you for your financial support of Brookwood in 2008. Your 2008 record of contributions will be emailed to you after the first of the year. Printed copies will be mailed to those without email addresses. If you would like to receive a printed copy or have it emailed to an account other than this one, please contact Susan Jones immediately. Your contribution history is available for you to view when you log-in on the Brookwood website.


    Mentoring Ministry

    Here at Brookwood we know how important it is for women to have strong Christian relationships. Women need other godly women to laugh with, cry with, celebrate with, fellowship with and grow with. Brookwood’s Mentoring Ministry gives women of all ages the opportunity to connect with other Christian women.

    Those that are mature in their walk with the Lord are paired with those that are younger in their journey with Christ. We follow Titus 2:3-5 which tells us that the older generations are to teach the younger generations how to lead a life that pleases God.

    Through these mentor/mentee relationships, we strive to accomplish our mission - to guide women we meet and their families to a life centered in Christ. To learn more about the Mentoring Ministry, please join us for our next Mentoring Informational Meeting on January 11, 4:00pm, at the home of Donna Nix. Visit the Information Center for details or contact Genelle Lindsay.


    Global Missions Christmas Mailbox

    Brookwood's annual mailbox is open for members to mail and receive Christmas cards from each other. It is located in the hall leading to the kid's area. This is a fundraiser for Global Missions. You can place your donation in the mailbox located next to the mail slots. Thank you for helping to tell the story of Jesus around the world.
