| FPC Ministry at Brookside Terrace in Newton | |
The Knitting and Craft Ministry recently brought their work to FPC for a blessing prior to distribution to those that need these items in Sussex Co. Do you know how to knit? Would you be willing to teach others? We have found a real interest in the residents at Brookside who want to learn. If you would be willing to help, please call or email Jan Pontzer @ 973-726-9472. |
Worship Service. We are conducting worship services at Brookside Terrace on the 1st and 4th Thursdays. Meet at the church at 6:15, or just meet at Brookside Terrace. This is a major missions outreach for FPC. Come on out and support the effort. Directions to Brookside Terrace. Brookside Fellowship Series. FPC member El McMeen leads a weekly Fellowship Series at Brookside Terrace, at 11 A.M., on Thursday mornings. The series has been very successful and well-attended. The group has just completed study and discussion of the first topic, which was ""Hard Times: How to Get Through Them." The study dealt with "tools" to get through tough times. Each tool had to have strong scriptural support. Based on this series, El has written and published a handbook called "Hard Times: A Christian Handbook for Getting Through Them," summarizing these tools and the scriptural basis for them. The group is pursuing new topics, based on the foundation laid by this study
