This Week @Briarwood

Friday, Nov. 24th – Junior youth group: 5-6 pm at the church.

Saturday, Nov. 25th - Games & Goodies: 3-5 pm at the church. Games provided, or you can bring one with you. Snacks and goodies also welcome.

This year Christmas Eve is on a Sunday. Rather than have four services on Dec. 24th (two Advent IV services, and two Christmas Eve services), we will begin celebrating Advent a week early.

Sunday, Nov. 26th – Celebrating Advent 1

Two worship services at Briarwood – our traditional service at 10 am and our contemporary service at 11:30 am, with children’s faith program and nursery space at both. Rev. Sarina is so excited to be leading worship this Sunday. She will be returning to work progressively over the next couple of weeks. The scripture readings are Isaiah 40:25-31, Psalm 80:1-7, 17-19 and 1 Corinthians 1:3-9.

Sacrament of Communion at 10:00 am, led by Rev. Dr. Harry Kuntz; Fall Study series at 11:15 am, led by The Rev. Dr. Harry Kuntz. Collection of Coats for Kids & International Students at both services.
