HONORING THE BARKERS
Join us this Sunday, June 20 as we honor 61 years of service to the Lord by the Barkers, Frank and Barbara. Dr. Barker is the Founding Pastor of Briarwood and now serves as Pastor Emeritus. We’ll take a moment in both morning worship services to recognize all this family has given over the years.

Wednesdays this summer we’re looking at Exodus 20 and the Ten Commandments from the Westminster Larger Catechism, and Fridays the Thomas Watson book, All Things for Good: An Exposition of Romans 8:28. Both classes meet in-person and via Zoom at 6:30 a.m., so come on in for biscuits and coffee or join us online and make this a summer of spiritual growth! Classes begin the June 16 and 18.
