Let’s Kick Off a New Season!
We are excited to announce Fall Kickoff 2024 here at Browncroft. This coming Sunday, September 15, we will be kicking off a new season of growth, connection, and community with our church family. Beyond the fun, games, coffee, cider, and donuts this Sunday, here are some things to look forward to this fall!
God’s Hand at Work: Our Students’ Week in Peru
As many of you know, Browncroft has a partner church, Alianza Cristiana de Miraflores, in Lima, Peru. This July, a team of twelve– five adults and seven students– traveled to Lima to join forces with the Miraflores Youth Group for work and outreach projects at the Westfalia Orphanage in Cieneguilla. To give you a glimpse into our experience and the impact it had, we’ve asked some of our incredible students to share their testimonies. Here is what they had to say.
Come See “JESUS: A Deaf Missions Film” at Browncroft!
Browncroft is opening its doors to host a viewing of “JESUS: A Deaf Missions Film” on Sunday, August 25th. This is the first ever full-feature film about Jesus in American Sign Language. We would love to personally invite you to join us for this unique experience!
You and Your Guests Are Invited to Alpha
Starting in late September, Browncroft will be hosting the Alpha course, which is an exciting opportunity for anyone to explore spirituality and learn more about the meaning of life from a Christian perspective. Relaxed, low-key, and fun, Alpha is a place to ask anything– no question is considered too simple or off-limits.
Deeper Prayer
The goal of our August sermon series is to work through a few select prayers of the New Testament in such a way that we hear God speak to us today. We are aiming to discover strength and direction to improve our praying and adopt the Bible’s priorities as our own. The only way to become a deep Christian is through a deeper prayer life.
A Leap of Faith: The Value of Multigenerational Missions
When you feel God’s tug on your heart, I’ve come to realize that taking that leap of faith is always your best option for growth.
We’ve Got It Backwards: NTS Camp and the Faith of Our Students
This past week, 34 Browncroft students and leaders traveled to Houghton University for five days of Never the Same Camp (NTS). They gathered alongside 600 students and leaders from other churches in the Rochester/Buffalo area to grow in community with each other and with God. I was blessed with the opportunity to participate in this experience with them, and let me tell you, the things I witnessed during this week were eye-opening.
Browncroft’s Wolof Ministry and Bible Project
In 2024 Browncroft is celebrating the 25th anniversary of our partnership to reach the Wolof people of Senegal! One new way of making an impact that we are excited about is the sending of $25K of the Browncroft Reach 2024 ministry funds to help make God’s Word available in the Wolof language.
God Is Moving at Browncroft
As we wind down the school year and officially head into summer, I am thankful for our church and the ways that God is moving through the hearts and lives of so many.
A Praying Church
As part of our ongoing effort to be a praying church, Browncroft has a weekly Prayer Sheet distributed to our congregation via email. If you would like to commit to praying over the people in our church, you can sign up to receive it! My hope for Browncroft is that we continue to be a praying community– humbly approaching the Lord on behalf of one another, especially during challenging times.
