Family Fun Day
Brookings FUMC invites you to join us for our upcoming Family Day on March 26th in the church basement. After the service, we are hosting a family-friendly, group painting session led by Lisa Solum. Lisa will guide participants through the painting so no prior skills are required, and supplies will be provided. See you there!
New Member Class
Are you new to Brookings FUMC, or have you been hanging out with us and now wish to officially join this church? You are invited to a new member meeting on Sunday, March 26th, to be led by Pastor Pete and will meet in the Conference Room from 11:15 - 12:00 after the morning service. This will give you an opportunity to get to know your pastor, ask any questions you have about our church, and see how you can fit into our church family. Please contact Lynelle at the church office.

Lenten Offering
The time of Lent is in remembrance of Jesus’ 40-day fast in the Palestinian wilderness before starting his ministry. He endured a hot, dry, and lonely time in a place of rocks and more rocks. A small sacrifice on our part seems appropriate.
There are Lenten Offering boxes available at the Welcome Center for individuals or families to take and place a small daily offering in. They can be returned to the church office or put in the collection plate at Easter.
