Happy mid-week!

We began this new week with the tender expression of the faith of a child as we witnessed the Baptism of 11-year-old Lydia White. We join her family, Margaret, John, and Luke in celebrating this moment in her faith journey. The Bible teaches us that Jesus loves these children and with open arms invites them to himself. Lydia is deep in his embrace. Congratulations to the White family!

Keith invites you to meet him in the Sanctuary at 10 am for the study. Afterwards, he’s providing lunch for you in the Chapel. If you would like to purchase a book, he will have them available for $10 each.

Slip out of your weekly routines and head to a neighborhood park again to connect with each other and neighbors. Such a wonderful way to spend hump-day! Blake has the best story of the experience he and Anna Carson had at McCallum Park in Vestavia last week. Ask him to tell you about it or click below on the Brookwood logo to hear his story. And then, tell us your “park” story. We’d love to share it. Tonight, at 5:30 pm at Overton Park, McCallum Park, Liberty Park, or here at BBC on the patio. Bring your family, friends, a chair, a picnic, whatever you want.  

There have been some wonderful comments, concerns, and energy about how Brookwood ministers to our Young Adults. We’ve got some exciting new things going on for this group that we want to share with you! Each Thursday night, Steven and Amy Causey are hosting Young Adults at their home for dinner and a Bible study led by Keith and Lisa McLeod. Dinner starts at 7 pm. On Sunday mornings, Young Adults who don’t have a Sunday School class are invited to the Renew class, which is led by Jeff Roberts and Richie Fortenberry, who are phenomenal teachers. Stay tuned for other fun, social gatherings too! We hope you’ll join us and spread the word!

Let’s celebrate our passion for missions this Sunday, Sept. 26th. We have a full day scheduled but it’s up to you to choose everything or just a few things you can manage. Click here for the full schedule. Think of Above and Beyond and how eagerly we gave to support missions. This, too, supports our love for mission through prayer and hearing the stories of those who have lived and labored on the mission field. Fried chicken lunch following worship. Let us know you plan to share the feast as we say goodbye and Godspeed to the Neely family! Lunch will be served in individual boxes by the two picnic locations: the tented patio behind the SOC and at the back of the church at the B-Bldg. Drink stations will also be set up there for your convenience.

April Robinson has a wonderful story of love and resilience and determination. She’ll be with us Tuesday, Sept. 28th, at 6 pm, when the women of BBC Meet on the Patio for dinner, conversation, and to hear April's inspirational story. Young moms, think of this as a night out! Leave the kiddies with dad and join us.

The new format of QBM (Quarterly Business Meeting) is ZOOM. It gives so many more of us the ability to lend our voices to what is happening in our church. The meeting starts at 6 pm, Wed., Sept, 29th. We’ll send out the Zoom link beforehand with the agenda and other documents for you to view.

Let's meet for lunch Tuesday, Oct. 5th at Lloyds restaurant for lunch at 11 am. Let us know you’d like to come and we’ll save you a seat. Email rosannat@brookwood.org
