Our BIGGEST EVENT is right around the corner!
The Family retreat offers us an opportunity to "retreat" from the pressures and routine of daily living and focus on our children, our spouses, and our church family. When our routines pull us in so many directions, our family time is often sacrificed to other obligations. We hope you will grab this chance for some quality family time.

The campers are having a great time at the first ever Arts & Music Camp! The week ends with a musical performance,
The Agape League
, at 6 pm in the Sanctuary, Friday night followed by a display of what they've done during the week. The BIG EVENT is an ice cream social in the FH following the musical. Since we have so many campers who are not members of BBC, this is our best opportunity to meet and greet new friends and show them what hospitality "Brookwood style" looks like!!! Even if you don't have a child involved, PLEASE come and help make this a special time for the campers and their families. Come for dessert! Our Fellowship Team will spread out the best Ice Cream Bar ever!!! We're counting on you! See you Friday night!

Do yourself a favor and join a study one Wednesday this summer. You'll be glad you did!
For the Wednesdays in August, Blake will lead
us through A.W. Tozer’s,
The Pursuit of God.
The Pursuit of God
is the enduring Christian classic written by renowned pastor and theologian A.W. Tozer. More than 65 years later, the words Tozer penned on a train from Illinois to Texas echo across the decades to resonate with power in the heart of anyone longing for a deeper experience with God. This devotional masterpiece is at once thought-provoking and spirit-enlivening, an invitation to think deeply about your faith even as you come alive to God's presence surrounding, sustaining and--yes--pursuing you. "This book is a modest attempt," Tozer wrote, "to aid God's children so to find Him." If you are hungry,
The Pursuit of God
will lead you to the only One who can satisfy the soul.
A.W. Tozer
embarked upon a lifelong pursuit of God at the age of 17 after hearing a street preacher in Akron, Ohio. He was a self-taught pastor, writer, and editor whose powerful messages continue to grip the hearts and stir the souls of today's believers. He penned more than 45 books, including the classics
The Pursuit of God
,
The Knowledge of the Holy
, and
The Purpose of Man
.
