We are excited to open registration for Brookwood’s 2 nd Annual End-of-Summer Retreat! We had an amazing time last year and can’t wait to connect with each other again at Shocco Springs August 9-11. Cameron Cole, founder of Rooted Ministries and Director of Children, Youth and Family at the Cathedral Church of the Advent, will be our guest speaker. Cameron’s parents, Hutch and Jane Cole, are members at Brookwood. Cameron is the author of Therefore I Have Hope: 12 Truths that Comfort, Sustain, and Redeem in Tragedy . Our theme is “REST” and Cameron will help us pause before beginning another school year and consider how we can find Rest in Christ even as we transition from busy summers to the next frenzied season of life. 
We will share meaningful times of worship, meals, and plenty of free time to enjoy all the recreation amenities at Shocco Springs.
OF VITAL CONCERN TO THE GOOD OF OUR TRIBE
Children's Safety

By now you should have received by mail the information regarding the August meetings to be led by the Minor Protection Task Force. The information to be shared at these meetings is important for every single adult member of Brookwood, but essential for all volunteers, SS teachers, and chaperones for student ministry events. What is more important then the care and protection of all children who enter our doors? As a tribe, we must all commit to be vigilant in this endeavor. We have scheduled three opportunities for you to attend one of these sessions:

Wednesday, August 7, 5:30 pm supper, 6 pm presentation
Wednesday, August 14, 5:30 pm supper, 6 pm presentation
Sunday, August, 18, 5 pm (combined with first part of Deacons' meeting)
