Men’s Group: The Brooklawn
UMC Men’s
Fellowship meets on the second Saturday of each month for
breakfast at 8:30am. All men and boys are invited to come
for a great time of eating, fellowship, a devotional time
including singing and sharing from God’s Word, and
an activity. Our monthly activities vary from some “manly”
games, to constructing (and “de-constructing”)
the stable for the church’s Living Nativity scene,
to our Missions breakfast, to our annual fundraiser for
a special project. It’s a great time for sharing
among the males of the church! The men also cook and serve
for the two women’s
dinners: during February’s mission month and the Mother/Daughter
dinner in May.
Women’s Group: The United Methodist
Women have a rich history of service, mission, and fellowship
in and through our church. The Ladies meet the second Tuesday
of each month at 7:00pm. According to their purpose statement,
the women meet “to know God and to experience freedom
as whole persons through Jesus Christ, to develop a creative,
supportive fellowship, and to expand concepts of mission through
participation in the global ministries of the church.”
As a result, the women meet for times of sharing and for support
of the church’s mission and ministry. In addition to
their monthly meetings, the women host several events to raise
mission and ministry funds: a Peach Festival in September,
a Holly Fair in November, and an Indoor Yard sale and Bake
Sale in April. All women are invited to come and enjoy the
fellowship and be involved in reaching out to the world through
the UMW.
College and Young Adult: Our
college and post-college young adults have a Sunday School
class of their own at 9:30am Sunday mornings. Wayne
C. Hill is the new leader of this group as they seek to integrate
faith and action with lively discussions. This group also
meets each Sunday evening for "707" starting with
a great time of worship at 7:07pm. A new Prayer time has
also just begun on Tuesday nights at Ray & Denise Dobbins'
house. Give them a call for more info: 456-4622.
Career & Young Family Adults
Our newest age related ministry is a Sunday School class for career young
adults and family-oriented young adults. As someone described it, “This
is not your parents Sunday School class!” With relevant material
for where you are, Glenn & Ginger Grant lead this group at 9:30am.
Sunday
School for All Ages: Our Sunday School ministry
has classes for all ages from a Primary class for 2-5 year
olds, through all children’s ages to our High School
class, College and Career class, and two adult classes. Solid
Bible teaching is available as well as times for singing
together. Join us for this time of laying a foundation
for life, Sunday mornings from 9:30 – 10:40am. Would

from 6:00 - 8:00pm. They are led by Michelle Cesaro. Currently
their schedule includes three weekly meetings per month and
a Friday night activity on the other week each month (the
Friday after the second Tuesday).
Kids Club: Kids Club runs from January through
just before Easter each year for children in Kindergarten
through 3rd grade on Thursday evenings from 6:30 - 7:30pm.
It’s a fast paced hour of singing, memory verses, story
time and a craft or other activity. What a great way to learn
and grow together in the Lord!
Brooklawn UMC Christian Nursery School:
Our church Nursery School was founded in 1974 as a ministry
to our community and surrounding area for pre-school aged
children. Our mission continues today in a half day, three
days a week school which gives a great Christian foundation
for their years in school. Our certified Christian Nursery
School meets 9:00 - 11:30am Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
from September to May. The low cost of $25.00 per week
is part of our ministry to our area.
Nursery during Morning Worship: In our
desire to transition children into worship, we provide a pre-school
Nursery (up to age 5) during the morning worship service at
11:00am Sunday. Children are brought up from the Nursery to
join the rest of the children of the church for the Children’s
time during the service and given an activity bulletin after
the Pastor has shared with them. We also subscribe to a monthly
publication by Upper Room Press called “Pockets”
which is available for those interested.
