Gilead Resumes Indoor Services
CENTER BRUNSWICK – Gilead Lutheran Church is returning to worship services inside the sanctuary. We appreciate the support we’ve received while we held services outside. COVID guidelines will not be as strict as the past year, but we ask that parishioners wear masks and remain social distanced. Please join us as we return to some normalcy, and we will conduct services to keep us as safe as possible. We will also be continuing our food pantry and our free monthly dinners, but the dinners may remain take-out only. Please join us and take time to reflect on this past year-and-a-half and spend an hour remembering that God lifts us up and walks beside us in trying times. Gilead is located at Route 7 East and Route 278 in Center Brunswick. Our web site is gileadlutheran.org and our phone number is 518-279-9270.
Cancer Support Group
BRUNSWICK – There are very few of us who have not been affected by cancer, either as a patient, family member, or friend. If you are dealing with the stress of this disease for whatever reason, talking with others in similar circumstances can be very beneficial. A warm invitation is extended to attend a Zoom cancer support group, led once a month (the third Monday) by retired pastor Ted Wright, he himself a cancer patient. If you have any questions or would like the zoom link, please contact Ted at twright@nullbrunswickchurch.org. This is a ministry in conjunction with Brunswick Church at 42 White Church Lane (just off Rt. 351). Our worship services are Sundays at 9:30 AM and all are welcome. Church participation is not required to have cancer support.
