LADIES BIBLE STUDY
This seven-week Bible study by Lisa Harper, titled A Jesus-Shaped Life, is your invitation to explore the depths of God's character, God's love for you, and how your relationship with Him transforms you. Ultimately, you will experience how biblically sound theology deepens your relationship with God and each other.
Unpack rich theological concepts, like:
Imago Dei—what it means to be made in God's image
Hypostatic union—Jesus as fully God and fully human
Christ's Transcendence—that He is above and beyond all creation. He is holy, eternal, and sovereign.
Christ's Immanence—that He is present with and near to His creation.
Coram Deo—living every moment in the presence of God.
Pneumatology—the Holy Spirit, His role, and His work in our lives
. . . and so much more!
STEP ONE CLASS
I want to invite you to Brookfield’s First Step Class, the first step in Brookfield’s discipleship pathway. After the class you will have the opportunity to become a member of Brookfield if that is something you would like to do, but no pressure.
This class will walk through our mission, purpose, vision, and what it means to be part of the Brookfield family, with time for teaching, discussion, and connection.
The class begins Wednesday, February 4, at 7:00pm and will run for four weeks.
There will be a sign-up sheet available in the foyer.
We’d love to have you join us. If you have any questions, feel free to call the church office at 717-545-8919.

Men's movie night
Men's Movie Night--Friday, Feb 6, 6:30-8:30 PM in the Hub
The Heart of Man is a story inviting the sons and daughters of God to leave behind our broken, moralistic and religious way of thinking and relating to God and to others. Once we begin to know who God is (and as a result who we are), we have something to invite the world into.
GAME NIGHT
Join the young adults for a variety of board and card games. We'll be meeting at 6:00 PM at Duston and Chloe Poleshuk's house.
Contact Isaac Lehman for any questions: 717-383-9511

CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION
I hope you’re having a great week, have all your Christmas shopping done (okay… probably not ), and are finding a little space in the busyness to get your heart ready for the true meaning of Christmas.
As we head into this weekend, I’ve been thinking a lot about the simple joy of inviting someone to join us for our 10:30 Sunday Morning Christmas Service. Sometimes it’s as easy as a quick text, a conversation over the fence, or that gentle nudge from the Holy Spirit that says, “This is the one.”
I sent a text this week to the families of the kids I coach (6th–8th graders). If you happen to think about it, I’d really appreciate your prayers over those invites. And please know this—we are praying for the invitations you’re sending out too.
Over the next day or so, I’m also planning to invite a few new neighbors to worship with us this Sunday and on Christmas Eve. One neighbor just moved in next door, and I’ve loved getting to know her. She was especially excited to show me how she decorated her Jeep for Christmas (it’s quite a sight—I’ll have to grab a picture and show you!). I’m looking forward to inviting her to experience Christmas with my church family at Brookfield.
If there are any specific invitations you’d like our staff to cover in prayer, we’d be honored to do that—just let me know (jon@brookfieldbiblechurch.org).
I’m so thankful for each of you. Keep being the light, sharing the hope, and spreading the joy of Christmas in the everyday, ordinary moments.

CELEBRATE RECOVERY
Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-centered 12-step program that provides people the resources and relationships to help recover.
It is a safe place where we gather with other believers who encourage one another and walk the recovery journey with us to overcome our habits, hurts, and hang ups which left unchecked can rob us of our joy. Addiction gets the most notoriety, but anger, depression, anxiety, damaged relationships, co-dependency, abuse, and self-esteem are a few of the many examples of people who have been restored through this ministry.

KINDRED SPIRITS LADIES BIBLE STUDY
KINDRED SPIRITS LADIES BIBLE STUDY
TUESDAYS @ 9:30 AM
Many of God's people through the ages have been called to endure times of hardship, loneliness, and suffering. Some, such as Daniel and Esther, were even members of a race carried away to a foreign land that had never heard of the God of Israel. Their lives were not easy, but even in the midst of trials, these men and women discovered that God was with them--and that He was actively leading the events in their lives.
In this study, pastor John MacArthur will guide you through an in-depth look at the historical period of Israel's exile, beginning with the prophet Daniel being carried off to Babylon, continuing through the rise of the Persian Empire, and concluding with Esther's reign as queen.

LADIES BIBLE STUDY
Joy to the world, the Lord is come. The opening line of this classic Christmas carol captures the delight and awe that surrounded Jesus’s birth. But how often does the Christmas season feel stressful rather than joyful? Why do we trade “all is calm” for all is chaos?
In this 4-session Bible study, you’ll spend the weeks of Advent learning to celebrate the good news of great joy found in the Christmas story. Jesus, the Son of God, came to earth to save us from our sins and sorrow and to make right our relationship with God. And He will return to finish setting everything right. With daily personal study, suggestions for family devotions, and engaging activities to transform your study experience, this beautiful resource will help you delight in Jesus's birth and joyfully anticipate His return this Christmas season and all year long.
MEN'S BIBLE STUDY
Ask any group what it means to be a Christian, and we will hear different answers. But what unifies us? What are the basic characteristics of our faith that every Christian affirms? In this six-session series, Francis Chan will lead us in an exploration of key concepts common to all Christians through the centuries. No matter what divides us, we are united by these truths about the God we worship and our relationship with him.
Meets 7PM in the downstairs DEN room
