CHRISTIANITY IN AMERICA SERVICE
Our Christianity in America Service of Celebration and Consecration will be a very special event this year! As a special gift and thanks to our veterans and to honor the Lord and thank Him for our country, we have produced a professional, one-hour video featuring our Music Ministry and testimonies from Briarwood’s veterans. The program will be broadcast on all of our streaming formats this Sunday, July 5 at 6:00 p.m. Click for more details.
CHILDREN’S SUMMER MINISTRY
Briarwood members who have already signed their children up will automatically receive POP boxes throughout the summer; there is no need for further sign up. For those Briarwood members who have not signed up, but would like to participate in our summer POP plan for children, register by July 9 through the link on this page for a POP box that will be delivered on July 13.
WOMEN OF THE COVENANT SUMMER STUDY
Ladies are invited to join in a study of Philippians this summer, right here online. Six different teachers are taking us through this book that is a source of encouragement and a beautiful reminder of what we have in Christ. New lessons are posted each Tuesday. You’ll also find a Scripture writing plan to help you grow spiritually.
MEN OF THE COVENANT SUMMER STUDIES
Men, Wednesday and Friday mornings at 6:30 you are invited to join us for a virtual study online. Wednesdays, various teachers are looking at “Christianity 101,” while Fridays we’re examining Martyn Lloyd-Jones’ book, Spiritual Depression: Its Causes and Cure. Click here now for more details and to register to join this live teaching.
CHRISTIAN SERVICE MISSION FOOD DRIVE
Briarwood’s ongoing food drive is still in progress. Through your thoughtful gifts, we have been able to donate over 10,000 pounds of food to benefit area families. Please continue bringing non-perishable foods to our trailer parked in Parking Lot A, (the first right after entering the campus from the Acton Road entrance to the church) Sundays, 7:45 a.m.–1:00 p.m. and Monday–Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Please practice social distancing when donating food items.
