WEEKLY PRAYER — This week we are praying for the King's Home, Grace Life Baptist Church, and a translation project in Northern India. For more details, including daily prayer points, download our app or visit the “This Week” section of our website.
PROPOSED 2025 MINISTRY BUDGET — Last week we presented our proposed ministry budget for 2025 at the recommendation of our Administrative Elder Team, Pastoral Staff Team, Stewardship Ministry Team, and Elder Council. We are offering three Budget Information Meetings, two during worship gatherings today and another on Wednesday, December 4. A special email address, budgetqa@brookhills.org, has also been set up as an avenue for members to submit questions related to the proposed budget. Details, along with a full line-item budget, are available at brookhills.org/2025budget. After two weeks of prayerful consideration, we will ask the church body for a vote of affirmation regarding this recommendation on Sunday, December 8, in each of our worship gatherings.
GLOBAL OFFERING EMPHASIS BEGINS TODAY — Global Offering is a fund we gather annually which sustains our own missionaries around the world and supports strategic projects that serve church-planting and church-strengthening efforts. These funds also support youth and college students getting a vision for the nations by giving them 50% off their short-term and summer mid-term opportunities. Opportunities to give and find out more can be found at brookhills.org/globaloffering.
ADVENT DEVOTIONALS AVAILABLE — Reflect on Jesus' glory this advent season by picking up one of our advent devotionals in the back of the Worship Center near the coat closet. Each day has two components: "Glory on Display," where we look at Jesus' worth and "Glory on the Way," where we retrace how God has used us around the world through the Global Offering. Companion maps are available for individuals or families with children who can color along with the corresponding country.
