Holiday Review

Thanks to everyone who participated in our outreach events over the holidays.

• Through our donations to the Mukwonago Food Pantry at Thanksgiving, we were able to help provide over 60 Thanksgiving boxes for families in our area.  
• Through our Giving Tree we were able to provide Christmas presents for over 90 children. 
• Through our special offering on Christmas Eve connected with Advent Conspiracy/What Happened to Christmas? series in December, we were able to donate over $5000 to Living Water International and over $5000 to BASICS of Milwaukee.

The generosity of you at Brooklife reminds me of what Paul said of the Macedonian Church in 2 Corinthians 8:

In the midst of very sever trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity.  For I testify that they gave as much as they were able, even beyond their ability.  Entirely on their own, they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the Lord's people.  And they went beyond our expectations; having given themselves first of all to the Lord, they gave themselves by the will of God also to us.

Thank you to everyone served God through giving!
