These are the texts for our next two gatherings:

February 22 – Isaiah 58:1-12; Psalm 51:1-17 (Ash Wednesday texts)

February 29 – Mark 8:31-38; Genesis 17:1-7, 15-16 (text for 3/4)

Every Thursday evening for 5 weeks, a Lenten Study will be held in the Lounge from 6:30-7:30 p.m.

The theme for our study is “God’s Abundant Table,” a study on the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper written by Cynthia M. Campbell. The subjects of the weekly lessons are as follows:

3/1 – Bread Everywhere

3/8 – Hospitality

3/15 – Just Eating

3/22 – Food for the Spirit

3/29 – Giving Thanks

Materials will be provided at each gathering, so come and join in our conversation on the abundance of God’s feast!

Ash Wednesday Service

brookfieldpresbyterian — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 22:44:36 +0000

We will gather on Wednesday, February 22 @ 7:00 p.m. for an Ash Wednesday service of worship. Our worship will include the imposition of ashes. The ashes placed on our foreheads in the shape of a cross are symbolic of our mortality and penitence, a reminder that it is only through God’s gracious gift of Jesus Christ that we are given everlasting life. A time of hushed silence will allow for reflection and prayer as we seek inward and spiritual renewal.

Join us for this very meaningful time of reflection and worship!

Southminster Presbyterian Youth to Lead Worship on February 26

The Youth of Southminster Presbyterian Church will be sharing their musical, “Are We There Yet?” in our worship service on February 26. With music by Sonicflood and a host of other Christian artists, the message (shared through a number of sketches) is one of telling the world about Jesus and calling us to spread the gospel message to the ends of the earth.

Join us for this uplifting, energizing, and engaging journey of faith. A freewill offering will support their youth mission trip. Invite friends & family for this special worship experience.

On Sunday, December 4th, we will be holding our Annual Alternative Christmas Market. Five organizations have provided “shopping lists” that will give gifts that fit the meaning of the season. You will receive a shopping list from which to select items to purchase as ‘gifts’. These ‘gifts’ are monetary donations to a specific organization to provide a specific item. You then can purchase a gift card to give to friend or family member, indicating your ‘gift’ in their name.

If you cannot be with us December 4th, please pick up a shopping list from the narthex and turn it in to the office or to a Mission Committee member. We hope you will join us in Fellowship Hall for our Annual Alternative Christmas Market!

Our 2011 vendors offer gifts that will serve:

Agape House

Habitat for Humanity

Healing the Children

Heifer Project

Penfield Children’s Center

Our lives are not enriched by how much we have, but how much we enjoy sharing it with others.

Refreshments will be served in a Festive and Holiday Atmosphere!
