Audio Recordings

Brookside Church worships together every Sunday at 10AM. The sermon and scripture reading, along with a children's story when there is one, are now available for you to hear weekly. Most of the sermons will be delivered by our pastor, the Rev. Dr. Dawn C. Berry, unless otherwise indicated. You are always invited to join us for worship and enjoy the music of Brookside in person!

We are planning to launch a streaming Podcast in the near future. In the meantime you may download/listen to the following MP3 file clips.

Services are in order by most recent. To download files without listening, right click and "save" to your computer.
