Message From The Pastor's Desk

Happy September,

Although the summer "season" may be coming to a close this Labor Day weekend, we know the best of the weather is still ahead of us. Our summer garden-to-table potluck brunch in August was not only fun but delicious! We will have to take advantage of our culinary skills more often! This fall, we will be increasing our commitment of time and resources to local charities, Love Lifts Us Up as well as The Village Foster Store. If you are interested in helping out, please call Debbie in the office at 732 946 8860 or reply to this email. If you can make a monetary donation, simply make it out to either charity, put OBRC in the memo, and if it's more convenient for you, you may mail it to our office, and we will forward it . We will share more information regarding our efforts in the weeks to come.

As the school year begins, we will be co-sponsoring Marlboro High School's "Spirit" T-shirt that is sold at all their athletic events. May all your loved ones who are returning to academia have a safe and blessed school year! Be sure to mark your calendars for Saturday, November 21st, as Old Brick Church will be hosting the Lumos Candlelight Experience. We are in the early stages of marketing and preparation, but we are very excited to be welcoming so many newcomers to our sanctuary. You may have seen this popular event advertised at other locations, but if not, here is a link: https://www.lumos-experiences.com/events/marlboro-nj.

Please note that after this weekend, we plan to return to our beautiful Church Sanctuary for Worship on September 13th, followed by coffee and cake fellowship in the hall. We are happy to announce that we will be joined by Charmaine Corits Fidalgo, who will lead us in song every 2nd and 4th Sunday throughout the Autumn and every Sunday in Advent. Charmaine has a beautiful voice, and we know she will be an asset in helping us "pray twice."

Have a wonderful holiday weekend, and pray for all those who labor to be of service to us. May all God's blessings be yours, and see you in Church!

All Are Welcome,

Pastor Terence McCorry
