All name badges will be returned to the main board at the front entrance during the week.
Prayer Chain
The Pastoral Care Team would like to announce the beginning of a new ministry here at Brougham Place, the Prayer Chain. This is a wonderful opportunity for us to grow together in faith, uphold one another in prayer, and maintain a spirit of intentional living within our midst. So, how do you plug into this ministry? Make a prayer request!!
Ways to make a prayer request:
- Contact one of the prayer chain coordinators (Rev. John Hughes or Vicky Sanders)
- Contact your Pastoral Partner
- Use one of the welcome/prayer cards in the sanctuary
- Contact the church office
We look forward to this wonderful new ministry and the way in which it can further support our "belonging" to each other and this community of faith.
Please view the Prayer Chain Regulations so you understood the way the Prayer Chain would work. We are serious about protecting your privacy while being able to hold one another in care. If you have questions, please talk to John or Vicky.
Fruit for you
You can buy delicious fruit, dried fruit, and free range eggs and support international mission. The project involves fruit grown by members of the Waikerie Christian Churches and is subject to availability. Part proceeds of the fruit sales will go toward medical projects in Numfor Island, Papua province, Indonesia. Barbara Sibley is the contact person for Brougham Place (Bronwyn Hern in November 2011) and order forms are on the table in the Leaver Lounge. Orders need to be placed by the 2nd Sunday in each month (1st Sunday in November & December 2011) and either cash or cheque to be accompanied with the order. Delivery is usually two weeks later (i.e. 4th Sunday)
