PASTOR APPRECIATION DINNER

October is Pastor Appreciation Month.  On Sunday, October 18, we will honor our pastor and his family with a Pastor Appreciation Dinner following the morning service.  Please bring a covered dish to share and join us for this special time. 

 

FALL FESTIVAL

On Saturday, October 10, Families for Missions will host the Fall Festival from 4-7 p.m.  We will have a bounce house, ring toss, face painting, hay rides, food, and more!  (There will be no Trunk or Treat this year.)  A sign-up sheet is on the counter for donations of food items still needed.  Your support and prayers for this church mission would be appreciated.  Thank you!  (Rain date is October 24.)

 

SPECIAL MUSIC NEEDED

On Sunday evening, November 29, we will have a special Service of Lessons & Carols.  We are looking for people to provide special music for that service.  If interested, please call the church office.

 

LOOKING FOR SPONSORS

Every child deserves the opportunity to have a Bible of their very own.  We have a few students coming to Kidz Zone that do not have one of their own at home. Your sponsorship will help provide a Bible to a child in Kidz Zone and encourage them to grow in their faith.  There will be a sponsorship form to fill out on the counter.  I will reach out to those who sign up when the need arises.  Thank you in advance!

 

CHOIR

Our choir is starting up again.  If you are interested, we are looking for people to join us. Practices will be on Wednesdays at 7:30 p.m. beginning on September 16.

VICTORY IN THE VALLEY

Victory in the Valley is a local, Christian music festival in New Bethlehem on June 12, 2027!  They are currently hoping to secure a 4th artist for the festival.  However, in order to do that, they need to raise more funds through donations from churches, businesses, and individuals. If that is something you or someone you may know is interested in, please contact Zoe Girty for more information or find the Sponsorship Letter on the Youth room door labeled "Victory In the Valley."  Please keep this ministry in your prayers and let Zoe know if you have any questions! 

 

PENN’S PEACE TREE PLANTING CEREMONY

Wednesday, October 14 @ 6 PM

Brookville Memorial Park ~  Sylvania St.

Be part of a legacy!  You're invited to be part of the Penn's Peace Tree planting ceremony for Jefferson County.  We will honor William Penn on his birthday. In 1682, Penn and his fellow settlers sailed from England aboard the Welcome and arrived here in Pennsylvania. His hope was to create a new homeland where people could practice their faith freely and where government would be based on fairness, respect, and peaceful relationships. This event is sponsored by PAPN, the Pennsylvania Prayer Network, and is hosted locally by Cathy Caylor.

WELCOME, VISITORS!

We are glad you are here to worship with us today. Welcome packets are available on the table at the back of the sanctuary if you would like more info about our church.

 

LIVESTREAMING

Both Sunday morning services are livestreamed each week on our church Facebook page at “Brookville Evangelical.” Special services & programs are also available this way. This is a great opportunity for those who can’t be with us in person to be a part of our worship.        

 

Nursery

The nursery will be opened and staffed during the worship service for children in preschool and younger.  The nursery is located on the children's floor (upstairs) in the second room on the right.  All you need to do is drop off your children before the worship service begins and then pick them up after the service.  We are happy to help serve you and your infant or toddler in this way!

       
 
Children's Church
Children's Church is for children in Kindergarten through 4th grade.  Each Sunday the children will be dismissed from the sanctuary after the children's message and will return to the sanctuary before the end of the worship service.
