August 1: Communion Sunday. MONEY. It’s on everyone’s radar these days. Will I have enough to retire? Will I have enough to feed my family? God has a different take on money, especially those who “love it” too much. “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.” (1 Timothy 6:10 NIV)

 

 

August 8: Testimonial Sunday. Are you faithful to the Lord? Today’s culture almost shames us into not talking about Jesus Christ and what He has done in our lives. Let us encourage one another and share our testimonies with our community of faith.

 

 

August 15: Graduation Sunday. Soon school will begin, a new semester in college, maybe a new job. We all need to keep growing in the Lord. Come hear what Paul tells Timothy about growing in and working for the Lord Jesus Christ. Our graduates will be recognized.

 

 

August 22: Conference Report Sunday. In the midst of a chaotic, seemingly godless world, there is hope. Let’s be clear about what will happen in the last days and let’s rejoice in the excitement of what is happening in the life of the church, our young adults, and our youth.

 

 

August 29: Following Christ Sunday. As we prepare for our rededication, a new school year, and a second century of ministry here at First Church, let’s recommit our lives to following Christ. Paul said, “preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season, correct, rebuke, and encourage with great patience and careful instruction.” (2 Timothy 4:2 NIV)

Ten Tips To Timothy

We continue with our Summer Sermon Series. Timothy was the spiritual son of the Apostle Paul. As Timothy ministered to the new Christians at Ephesus, Paul instructed him on tips that are important to those following Christ today. Join us each Sunday during the summer.

 

Fall Days of Revival

Our fall will begin with looking at Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. We are familiar with the Beatitudes but do we know what Jesus spoke about when he calls us light and salt? He addresses some very important issues we face in the church today concerning murder, adultery, divorce, oaths, revenge, loving of enemies, giving to the needy, prayer, fasting, etc. etc. What does it all mean for us here in Brooklyn in 2010? Come and see, come and hear, come and understand how we can live out the Sermon on the Mount.
Sister Judith Laubenstein will be with us for Fall Days of Revival (November 19-21). She will lead us through the Beatitudes and refresh our knowledge and understanding of them. You don’t want to miss Fall 2010 at First Church.

 

Looking Ahead: Rededication Sunday
October 24, 2010

After roof repairs, upgrading of electrical system, installation of new carpeting, and repainting, the mission church constructed as the First Church of the Brethren at 352-356 60th Street will be rededicated for another century of being a beckon for Jesus Christ in Sunset Park. We are anticipating having an updated Church Directory printed. We’d like to set up some historical exhibits with old photographs (or reprints). BUT some work still needs to done. Watch for workdays and if you have some free time, talk to pastor about the projected needed to be completed.
