Announcements & Upcoming Events
Congregational Meeting | Please mark your calendars for our September 7th Fall Congregational Meeting following worship. We will review the 2025/56 fiscal year budget and engage our mission and vision and how it connects to our fall ministry initiatives. Teaser: the church is the mission, and you are the church!
Fall Sunday School Classes | Sunday School begins September 7th at 8:45am. We will meet for 12 weeks, ending the Sunday before Thanksgiving, November 23rd. There will be two adult classes and two children and student classes. Childcare is available for children 4 years and younger. If you are planning to attend Sunday School, please register HERE. This helps us have an accurate number to better prepare for the classes. Info and contact information for each class is below:
Adult 1: Personal Formation | We join together each Sunday to be formed in gathered worship through the different rhythms unique to that space. But that isn’t the only place for us to be formed by the gospel! Gathered worship should be a catalyst for personal practices and rhythms throughout the week that bring us closer to Jesus. In this class we’ll look at personal worship and spiritual disciplines like prayer, Bible study, fasting, family worship, and more to gain a broad understanding of the different practices used by the church throughout history for personal formation while also considering some helpful ways to get started and continue in these practices. This class is for anyone who is new to these disciplines, who feels discouraged in them, or who is interested in potentially new ways to practice them. For any questions, reach out to Avery.
Adult 2: Brentwood Legacy Class | Meets year-round in Stedman Hall. Contact: Jimmy Shackelford.
First Series: The Greatest Truths of All Time (September 7 to October 12)
Second Series: How to Handle Life's Interruptions (October 19 to November 23)
Middle School and High School Class: Counterfeit Gospels | Our students will examine counterfeit gospels, ways of thinking and speaking about the good news that deviate from the truth of Scripture. We pray they will learn to discern these errors, guarding both their own faith and the faith of others. For any questions, reach out to Joey Perez.
K - 5th Grade Class: Exploring the Elements of Worship | Worship is more than an event - it’s a conversation with God, a rhythm that unites His people in praise, prayer, and proclamation. This class is designed to guide children into a deeper understanding of corporate worship, equipping them to engage meaningfully as part of God’s covenant family. Each week we will help children engage in worship with their church family by introducing them to the elements of worship - including Call to Worship, Prayer, Praise, Reading the Word, Confession of Sin, Profession of Faith, Sacraments, and Benediction. For any questions, reach out to Laura Perez.
Fall Women's Bible Study | Our fall women's Bible study begins September 9th and 10th. We will meet for 10 weeks, ending on November 11th and 12th. This year we will be going through the first half of Romans using the book Romans: Encountering the Gospel's Power that can be purchased through the registration below or through Amazon. Our Tuesday evening group will meet at 7pm, and our Wednesday morning group will meet at 9:30am, both in Stedman room S104. Childcare is available for the Wednesday morning group only with an RSVP. Click here sign-up for either Bible Study. You can reach out to Martha Lowe or Susan Olasky for more information about Tuesdays and Kristen Raven for more information about Wednesdays.
Men's Retreat | Save the date for our Men's Retreat happening at the Well Spring Retreat Center near Blanco from Friday, September 19th through Sunday morning the 21st (we will be returning to Austin for morning worship at G+P). We will enjoy a time of food, fellowship, and spiritual renewal. Click here to RSVP.
Pumpkin Patch Volunteering | Can you believe that fall is right around the corner? And with fall comes our annual pumpkin patch! Our pumpkin patch is a staple in this neighborhood, and if you've ever served, you know it's a blast. If not, it's really easy, fun, and one of the best ways to meet and connect with our local Brentwood neighbors. Take a look at your calendar and click the links below to sign up. Reach out to Laura Perez with any questions.
Pumpkin Unloading | Join us on Saturday morning, October 11th at 9am to help unload pumpkins for the pumpkin patch. We need lots of volunteers, wagons, and wheelbarrows to help make this happen. Plus, the more people helping, the more fun we have! Sign up here.
Pumpkin Patch Volunteer Shifts | We need volunteers to help run the Pumpkin Patch, from October 11th - 31st. It's a fun job and anyone can do it! If you're a parent, it's great for kids as well since they can run around and get tired out just before bedtime. Come with a friend, or volunteer together as a family or Parish Group. Sign up here.
