We are excited to have Mark Rector preaching this Sunday! By filling the pulpit this go round, he is fulfilling a ministry requirement of Beeson Divinity School. In addition, we anticipate with joy our ordaining this son of Brookwood to the Gospel ministry on Sunday, April 14, at 5:00 p.m. in the sanctuary. Let’s show our support and blessing for Mark as he takes these significant steps in the service of Christ’s church!

Women's Ministry Invites You!
Women's Ministry invites you to a
Connect Lunch
on Sunday, April, 7, following Worship, in the Fellowship Hall at noon. (Please sign up in SS.) Special guest speaker is our own
Anna Harris.
Anna Mead Harris has been a member of Brookwood for almost seven years. She is the very proud momma of Mac, Sam, and Ben. Anna works with Dr. Barnette at Samford as the coordinator of the Preministerial Scholars Program, and she is the Parent Editor of the Rooted Ministry blog. At Brookwood, we talk a lot about being a family and a tribe. Because Scripture tells us that in Him we are all siblings, we care for each other as equally beloved, true brothers and sisters in Christ. Let's examine what that means, looking through the lens of Scripture to discern some practical ways we reach across generations for church to become family.

Eternity Is Now in Session

How do we address poverty through partnership?
For years, churches have collected and distributed clothing and food to help those in need. Obviously, those efforts are short-term and don’t address the main root of poverty – joblessness. What if we started helping people find meaningful work so they could have the dignity of providing for themselves?
Brookwood has recently partnered with True Vine Evangelical Church in Inglenook to offer job skills training, utilizing an 8-week program called Jobs for Life.
Here’s a great two-minute promo video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UhT-60sw9A
We will host leadership training at BBC on April 5 & 6 that will equip people to serve as mentors or facilitators for Jobs for Life.
Space is limited. If you are interested, please notify David Bains at
dpbains@gmail.com
