March 17, 2020 Gathering

Hi family. This Tuesday, March 17, 2020, for those that are able to gather, we will meet at the Kohl's at 6:00 pm - to share a meal and focus on praying for this present world situation, to share concerns and encourage one another.

We take seriously the reasonable steps that need to be taken during this season. While we want to maintain a spirit of community, and as Adam said, we are to "be the church" at this time, we also understand if even mixed meal gatherings are too much for some right now. We do want to be a presence of peace and light in our neighborhood and circles of influence...but if you are feeling ill in any way, even just a cold - or if you are immune compromised - please protect yourself and others by staying at home - and let us know so we can be praying for you. We are a family. We are community. So please let us know if you need anything in any way that we can come together and help with.

~ PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU WILL BE COMING ~

Kohl's will have a nourishing pot of soup on the stove. Bring whatever you'd like to add to the meal.

Unless otherwise noted this community meets for dinner every other Tuesday at 6:00pm at the home of Rob and Meeghen Gough at 930 SW 197th Ave. Bvtn, OR 97003; 

If not at the Goughs, we meet at the Kohls at 5244 SE Pine St. Hillsboro OR 97123.

Cancelled gathering Tuesday, December 3

Dear Brookwood Community family,

We hope you all had a blessed Thanksgiving!

Due to the flu illness at the Gough residence, we are cancelling tomorrow night's gathering, Tuesday, December 3. 

We will gather next, for a Christmas celebration, on Tuesday, December 17, at the Gough's as usual, God willing! Stay tuned!

Tom is presently in New York City getting ready to tape an interview with national radio talk show host, Eric Metaxas. The interview will air at a later date, but I know Tom would appreciate prayers for this interview to go well, to be well articulated in a way that the listeners will be engaged and changed by the message.

Thank you, all.

~ Tom and Julie
