Where the love of Jesus is transforming lives….
Welcome to Brunswick Reformed Church’s worship celebrations.
To make our mutual experience more enjoyable today please:
1. Relax - At BRC you can rest assured that you will not be embarrassed,
singled out, or put on the spot.
2. Fill Out a Welcome Card - These can be dropped in the offering plate
later. The information won’t be misused, and will help us know who’s been
here. It’s also a great way to drop a note to, or request a contact from, a staff
member.
3. Ask for Prayer - If you have a prayer concern to share, pick up a prayer
request form from the cart in back. Give completed forms to an usher or the
pastor before the service begins.
4. Know There Are Options for Children –
• The small room in the right rear corner has rocking chairs where little
ones can be rocked, quieted or nursed.
• We have an excellent nursery for ages 0-3 at the far end of our education
wing.
5. Join Us for Fellowship - Coffee and juice are served in the fellowship
area after each service. Join us and get acquainted. We do ask that you not
take drinks into worship with you.
6. Do Not Feel Obligated to Give - If you are a first-time guest, please do
not feel obligated to participate in the offering. This is a time when members
and regular attendees honor God by giving to his work through this church.
Let today be our gift to you.
7. “Give by Text” is available. Simply send a text to 330-239-8652 with
the amount you would like to contribute.
8. BRC is on the web www.b-r-c.org
Who Is BRC? We are a member of the Reformed Church in
America, a Protestant denomination that goes back to the Reformation
period in Europe when the Church was “reformed” according to the
Word of God.
We are a mixture of Christians from many denominational backgrounds, all seeking to grow in our spiritual maturity as we live by faith with Jesus as our forgiver and leader.

Heidelberg Catechism Question 55. What do you understand by "the communion of saints"? Answer. First, that believers one and all, as members of this community, share in Christ and in all his treasures and gifts. Second, that each member should consider it a duty to use these gifts readily and cheerfully for the service and enrichment of the other members.

**Bring your own lawn chairs, bring life jackets for children under 10 if you want them near the water, and bring your sports equipment if you want to play. The Haynes family has asked that we do not bring any dogs.
