The Early Church shared values that the world had never seen before: people of diverse culture, race, and age breaking bread with gratitude, bearing burdens and speaking encouragement, freely sharing resources and privilege, and filled with a general sense of wonder and awe that cut past every trace of cynicism. Essentially, this was a community carrying values from another world. . We long to be a similar community - pilgrims whose citizenship lies in heaven, living in Brooklyn by a foreign set of values. When our relationships with one another are shaped first and foremost by the Kingdom of God, the quality of our shared life speaks a better way into our city. . This kind of community can start with going to brunch with a group of strangers the first time you visit or rounding up everyone you came with because you want to be all in. That's what happened with this lovely group last Sunday, who enjoyed meeting new people while eating the most massive hamburgers Williamsburg had to offer. . We'll be going out to brunch immediately after the gathering the Second Sunday of every month. If you are new or haven't found your people yet, we'd love to brunch with you. . #tbt #pilgrimcommunity #tgcwsecondsundaybrunch
Hi, I'm Jessica Jennings, and I've been part of TGC Williamsburg for around 3 years. . I currently work for Adobe as a program manager and specifically for the Behance team, and have enjoyed every minute of it. In my spare time, I'm either diving into a home project with my husband, taking pictures of something or someone or hanging out with the sweet kiddos at TGC on a Sunday. I'm passionate about building community and friendships, and love meeting new people! . Get to know Jess this Saturday at the Ladies Brunch. Join us from 11-1 here at the church for some good food, conversation and prayer. Go to tgcwilliamsburg.com/ladiesbrunch to sign up to bring a dish. . #pilgrimcommunity #tgcwladiesbrunch
As we talked about this morning, we are inviting the church to host Mordecai Dinners. . In the book of Esther, we see two examples of how to look at a broken world. We can be Haman, seeing the wrongs in the world but knowing they don’t effect our sphere, so we do nothing. Or we can be Mordecai, seeing the pain of others and carrying a deep burden all the way to the king’s gates. . We invite you to think of some friends who might be willing to share a particular burden for others with you. Invite them in advance to a Friday night meal of rice and beans, what nearly half of the world currently eats to survive. Come together with a burden, pray, repent and then act, using the table liturgy found at tgcwilliamsburg.com/mordecaidinners when you meet. . We hope that these dinners can bring us one step closer to being a church entrusted with the poor, which is God’s greatest compliment.
Throughout the year, we host Brooklyn Worship Nights as an opportunity to join together with our sister church @tgcparkslope to celebrate our Lord through praise, worship, and prayer. . Join us this Friday at Roulette (509 Atlantic Avenue at 3rd Avenue) as we pursue the presence of God and seek renewal and revival for New York City. Doors open at 6:30.

Our next Alpha Course begins Monday, October 15th. Alpha is a nine-week course that provides an open space to talk about faith. If you’ve been coming to church for some time but still have questions about Christianity or you’re just coming back to faith after being burnt out on religion, Alpha is for you. . This Sunday, we’ll have invitations to give to your friends or to stick on your fridge as a reminder to pray for those going through the course. We’re also still looking for three more Alpha leaders to help facilitate the groups and for Alpha meal volunteers. . Sign up for the course or to serve in the link in our bio. . #pilgrimcommunity #alphacourse
Hi. I’m Debbie! I’ve been at TGCW nearly 3 years, lead the Bed-Stuy community group and sometimes sing with the band. One time Tyler posted a collage of me with pigeons as a sermon opener. . I’m pretty much always on the move. I do an absurd amount of journaling in public spaces and dancing in my living room. I love surprises, my bike, food science, traveling, bringing different people together and, controversially, red wine with ice. . Who’s next? Tag us in a pic and DM is a mini bio. We’d love to get to know you. . #pilgrimcommunity
Tonight we will be worshipping together at a special Tuesday night gathering. Visiting pastor Darren Rouanzoin will be speaking on the inseparable connection between being a church filled with the Spirit’s power and being a church that serves the poor. . Too often today, the church is known for one or the other, but every biblical example shows a Spirit-filled community that alters the surrounding socio-economic landscape. How do we become a church alive in both? . Doors open at 7:15 p.m. . #mercifulpresence #inbrooklynasitisinheaven #inlongbeachasitisinheaven
Hi! I’m Sarah Agopian, and I’ve been part of TGC Williamsburg for just over two years! I currently work for a CP research foundation and am absolutely loving it. In my free time, you can find me serving on a few teams at church-TGC Kids, Single Moms of Brooklyn, Brooklyn Feast invites-enjoying a craft beer, hitting up a spin class, or planning an upcoming trip. Next up: driving cross-country with my dog, Augustus, in November! 🐶 . #pilgrimcommunity
