"Love
One Another!"
We all need support and love at one time or
another in life's journey. There are many "ministries"
in place within Brownson which offer care to members in
times of need or times that simply require some extra loving
support or attention. All of these ministries comprise
the "Congregational Care Ministry."
We strive to reveal God's presence in simple acts of
kindness - a ride to church, a hot meal after a stay in the
hospital, a CD of the Sunday morning worship service
delivered to our home, some flowers or a handwritten card, a
visit and a friendly face, a shawl to wrap ourselves in
love, a prayer to help us through a bad time. Let the
leaders of these ministries know when you are in need of
support or if you feel moved to offer support yourself.
If you would like to participate, please contact the church
office at 692-6252 or e-mail
office@brownsonchurch.org. More information is
available at the Information Center in the Atrium.
