Sunday Evening Adult Study Resumes Feb. 26 – 5-6:30 pm – Church Library
“Unbinding Your Heart: 40 Days of Faith Sharing.”  

Feeding Hungry Hearts Food Drive
Please join Church In Society with helping those in our midst who are less fortunate. 

 This year we will continue to support Brookfield Social Services Food Pantry, as well as add a new opportunity, the Morning Glory Breakfast Program.

 During the month of February we ask that you pick up a shopping bag in Brooks Hall or Fellowship Hall, take the attached list to your local grocer, and purchase items in need as you are able.  (Note: You don’t have to purchase all of the items on the list unless you wish to do so.)  Please return your bag to Brooks Hall during February, and CIS will deliver your donations to Social Services in the Town Hall.

Adult Education Opportunity - Contemporary Issues:

The Monday Morning Women’s Group will begin studying contemporary issues such as social programs, education, reproductive rights, war and military spending, and phobias & prejudice on January 23rd from 9:30-11am using some essays from William Sloane Coffin’s book The Heart is a Little to the Left and the local news.  We understand that some others of you may be interested in “tackling these topics” from a faith perspective.  If you are and would like to find an alternative time to meet and discuss please speak with Pastor Jen (203-775-1259 or jennifer@uccb.org).

Thursday Morning Prayers & Bible Study
9:00 to 10:30am in the Church Library

Begin your day with a time of quiet contemplation in a simple ministry of prayer, as we lift up the names of those who are sick or grieving, who are in discernment, or have thanksgiving or celebration to share.  We will have a brief Bible study of our weekly lectionary scripture texts, led by Senior Pastor Bryn Smallwood-Garcia. Join us every Thursday, or drop in as you have a need for prayer or a morning free for study.

Did you know that FISH are driving around our town???
Let some FISH (Friends in Service Here) give you a ride! We all know getting around Brookfield without a car can be a challenge for those with mobility challenges. FISH is a program that is available to all ambulatory disabled and/or senior Brookfield residents. Volunteer drivers are available for medical-related appointments, if they can be scheduled Wednesdays and Thursdays between 9 am and 2 pm. Please call 203-616-0678 to schedule a ride. Just be sure to call at least 2 days ahead of an appointment.
NOTE: FISH is always looking for volunteers. Could you drive someone just one day a month? If so, please drop by the Senior Center to sign up
