Boards & Committees
Brookside Needs You
 Lots
of good people are being sought by the Nominating Committee to
fill openings on boards and committees as the need arises.
Service is one of the responsibilities of membership; "people
power" is needed to keep our church humming along. If you want
to serve, but do not know where, speak to the Pastor or a Nominating
Committee member.
If a board or committee sounds like more than you can handle,
why not try ushering, reading, singing in the choir, teaching
Sunday School, or helping at New Horizons? For
