The Brooklyn Feast is this Sunday! This is truly an Agape Feast, like Tyler preached about on Sunday, open to everyone to be a part of this community and a way for us to love our neighbors. . There are still ways that you can be involved with the night. We are buying 12 turkeys and need 6 more people to sign up to cook them. If you can pick up a turkey from 2-5 on Saturday at the church, cook it and then bring it to the church by 5:30 p.m. on Sunday, please go to the link in our bio and sign up! . If you'd like to bring sides or pies, or you want to welcome people as they join us, we'd love for you to sign up for that, too! . Brooklyn Feast. Sunday, November 16th. 6 p.m. at the church space. #mercifulpresence #brooklynfeast
Know Your Boundaries Workshop: This Saturday in the church space at 10 a.m. . Having boundaries seems likes it’s all about the how-how do I set them? How do I keep them? But as @chanel.dokun will share, it’s really about the who-who am I in Christ?-and the why-why am I doing what I’m doing in a relationship? . If you’re single and wanting wisdom for future relationships, in a relationship and have never thought through these issues-or are struggling with them alone-or if you’re a married woman wanting to learn more along with your single friends-this two hour workshop is worth your Saturday morning. PS-There will be ☕️. . RSVP online 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏽‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏿‍♀️
Merciful Presence Month Serving Opportunity: The Brooklyn Feast. . Our next Brooklyn Feast is Sunday, November 18. The Thanksgiving dinner is our biggest event, with our congregation baking turkeys, bringing sides and inviting their friends and neighbors. . Serving at the Feast couldn’t be easier! Go to tgcwilliamsburg.com/brooklynfeast and sign up to bake a provided turkey (to pick up on Sat the 17th) or bring your favorite dish. You can also join the invitation team-groups will go out after both church gatherings this Sunday and next Sunday. Or sign up to set up up, greet or tear down at the gathering. . See you on the 18th! #mercifulpresence
This November, we are focusing on our pillar of Merciful Presence-responding to injustice with mercy and compassion. . We want to offer several opportunities for us as the church to serve in one way, once a month. But if you have never served in this way before, it can be incredibly overwhelming to look at the needs in our city and think-What can I do? And how am I even supposed to do it? . Luckily, we have some resources at hand. Sara Miller, one of our Deacons of Justice and Mercy, is leading a class this Sunday at 1:30 p.m. on Compassionate Service here at the church. Sara will share from her experiences living in NYC as a college student through founding @ahouseonbeekman, where she serves as the Executive Director. . If this is your first time serving, you want to learn more about serving our neighbors, or you want to bring friends to learn about serving, we invite you to this class. RSVP on our website. . #mercifulpresence
On Saturday, November 10th, our women's ministry is hosting a workshop lead by the amazing @chanel.dokun on Knowing Your Boundaries. . The sexual narrative of our modern culture frequently over promises and under-delivers. And as sexual intimacy has been co-opted by the secular world, we have lost sight of the beautiful biblical foundation for sex and our own personal ethics around physical intimacy. In this workshop, we will reclaim sex for Christians, helping develop a roadmap for their own sexual expression based on truths from theology and psychology. . Chanel is a certified Paterson Center lifeplanner, and is trained in marriage and family therapy. With a background in publishing, she is a frequent contributor to media outlets like Relevant Magazine and PureWow on topics of dating, marriage and living out your god-given calling. . The workshop will be at 10 a.m. in the church space. Please go to our website to RSVP for the event.
This fall, we have been digging deeper into our Three Pillars of Formative Encounter, Merciful Presence and Pilgrim Community. In November, we will be focusing on our pillar of Merciful Presence, which is responding to injustice with mercy and compassion, based on Isaiah 58:1-10. . The beauty of the Gospel is that it is the only story big enough to make sense of life’s complexity and simple enough to be expressed through acts of mercy. The church is called the Body of Christ, a living expression of Jesus in the world. We express God’s heart by welcoming the stranger, clothing the naked, feeding the hungry, visiting the prisoner, noticing the forgotten, and serving the orphan and widow in distress. . The city may seem like an overwhelming place with overwhelming needs. So we have partnered with several organizations across the city who are doing work in multiple areas. You can read all about them on our Justice and Mercy Partners website page and pick one. Our desire would be that as a church, we can all serve in one way, once a month. . You can also sign up for a monthly email sent from our Justice and Mercy Deacons listing all the ways you can get involved. And watch in our Stories as we highlight upcoming serving opportunities. .

Friends, we’ve so enjoyed getting to know you over the past two months and would love to continue to make this a place to connect. As we wrap up October’s focus on Pilgrim Community, let’s meet Clara! . Hi, I'm Clara Ibarra, and I've been part of TGC Williamsburg for over 3 years. . I am from Bogotá, Colombia and I have been living in New York for 12 years. I came to study, and ended up staying. I have worked for all those years in a radio program called, Democracy Now! Every day is a new show, and I love it. In my spare time, I'm either taking ukulele classes with @tiffanywilsonofficial or connecting New York City's youngest and oldest generations through a podcast called @grandparentsstorylab. . I love being part of the TGC Williamsburg community. Without the church this last project would have never been borne. This week at the Grandparents Story Lab, we're highlighting grandparents who are running in this year's NYC Marathon. Give us a listen! . #pilgrimcommunity
Thrilled to have @patbwright and @katrosebwright from @tgcparkslope here with us this morning! Join us at 10:30 as they dig into Romans 12. . #formativeencounter #graceabounds

And mark your calendars for the next Ladies Brunch on December 1. . #tbt #tgcwladiesbrunch
