Our ministry focuses on the needs of our active senior adults 50 years and older. We desire to provide opportunities for mature adults to grow, to serve and to enjoy true fellowship with others as we give expression to the values and purposes of Brookwood Church.
Monthly Meetings
We meet on the last Sunday of each month at 5:30 pm in the Chapel where we enjoy a meal and program. Some examples of our programs are: Furman University's Learning in Retirement Classes, Fitness After 50, Kay Crowe Bayne's music and testimony, a historic photographic narration of Greenville, Ben Geer Keys' Images of the Southern Appalachians, and travel opportunities with AAA.
Sunday, August 29, 5:30 pm, Chapel
