🎉🥲🩵 This is it, fam! This weekend is our ✨last weekend✨ worshipping together as the unique expression of the local church that we’ve been, before we step with God’s leading into who we’re becoming. 👐🏾

Friends, if you’ve ever found refreshment amidst our spiritual community, we would LOVE to see you and worship our God together this weekend! He is great, and greatly to be praised! He has been faithful to hold us over the past five years and we believe he will be faithful to bring the good work he began in us to completion.

Come, let us tell of the Lord’s greatness; let us exalt his name together! (Psalm 34:3 CSB)

Today is MN! 🥳 At The Brook, we strive to show radical generosity out of the abundance we’ve been given and believe in this way we share a picture of our true hope in this life and the next to a weary world. ✝️

As we always say, at The Brook we give:

🩵To God
🩵Through the church
🩵For the work of ministry

Would you consider partnering with us and giving a special gift on this Give to the Max day to support the end-of-year financial costs of ministry at The Brook?

Who’s ready to get around some friends, break bread together, and give a praise to God for what he’s done?! 🙋🏿‍♂️🙋🏼‍♀️

On Saturday, Nov 18th at 5pm, and our non-profit partner will cohost a Friendsgiving worship and fellowship experience for our communities 🫶🏼🙏🏾🧡 We’re looking forward to just spending time worshipping God for all he’s done, practicing the posture of thankfulness, and enjoying some yummy treats together afterwards. 🍪🍩

We believe it’s more blessed to give than to receive, so we’re getting ready to give out up to *50 ready-to-cook, homestyle (vegan!) chili meals for families who register*!! 🍲🧡 If your family would be blessed to have a meal kit ready to go that holiday week, sign up at the link in the bio, and plan to pick up that fall goodness after the service. 🧡

We’re so thankful to God for how he’s kept and sustained us this year— what won’t he do for us in the year to come?! 🧡🙏🏾

🍯A few morsels of goodness from the spiritual meal fed to us this weekend by Pastor .sethmartin .

Friends, we were reminded that there was another “treaty/peace table” before the one that sits in the White House. ☮️💜 Jesus didn’t sit there alone, but he invited his friends to come have a meal with him.

And at that table and with that meal, he instituted the symbol of reconciliation between us and God, and between one another. 🥖🍷A meal that would forever remind us that we don’t “live by bread alone”, but by every word from his mouth.

Eat and be satisfied, saints. ✝️🤍

🍽️ The dinner table can remind us of the Gospel, Christ's shed blood (the wine) and body broken for you (the bread), but there are other reminders of grace there as well.

There's a reason most dinner tables come with more than one chair: we aren't meant to eat alone. 🩵

The dinner table can be:
🥣 A "cheat code" for building community
🥣 An opportunity to reconcile with one another, to encourage each other, and build one another up
🥣A reminder of who we are in Christ and that were weren't meant to do this life alone. 🩵
