The Foundation Fund Offering
Sunday, December 19th

Be on the lookout for more details about how you can participate.

Join us as we discuss topics like:

• Taking the Bible seriously in a skeptical world (Nov 14)
• Solitude, silence and prayer in a crowded world (Nov 21 & 28)
• Worship in a self-centered world (Dec 5)
• Practicing generosity and service in a selfish world (Dec 12)

Stories have power. They bring us together & point us to God’s bigger story… The next 2 Sundays (October 24 & 31) come; be uplifted & inspired by personal God-stories of people at the North Brooklyn Vineyard community.

Here are the groups that will be meeting from October through December. You’re welcome to check out any of these groups.

Most groups are a combination of building friendships, some Bible or book study & prayer, although different groups might focus on different things. Contact the group leader for more information about a specific group.

We were recently featured in an article in The Brooklyn Rail along with Revolution church (another Williamsburg church who meet at a bar called Pete’s Candy Store).

Besides Mike Turrigiano being slightly misunderstood toward the end of our segment, we think it’s a nice piece; especially considering the Rail’s self-described aspirations of “slanted opinions, artfully delivered. Criticism is our way of life.”

Thanks to Erika Eichelberger from The Brooklyn Rail!

As of August 27, we have a change in our office/mailing address, phone & fax numbers. Our new mailing address will be:

And new digits are:
Phone: 718.748.1280
Fax: 718.748.3564

You can still email our office at: info@northbrooklynvineyard.org & find us Sundays at the same places… 11am at the Red Brick Building & 6pm at the Trash Bar.

Time, location & more information about the art show is here.

Starting June 13, all summer long we’ll be BBQing hot dogs outside the Trash Bar from 5 – 6pm (before our service).

Anyone is invited to have a free hot dog, $1 PBR (for those over 21) & hang out.

Our goal is to meet more people around, be hospitable & get word out about church at the Trash Bar. So come, hangout. Word is there will be some live music on the street too.

If you’re interested in helping us put this on, please contact Mike Turrigiano (miket@nycvineyard.org).

Throughout June, we’ll be talking about living life well through suffering.

Mike & Brendon will be talking about our perspective on God, how to suffer well, dealing with disappointment & the wrongdoing of others, how to even celebrate in suffering.

Our hope is that this series will provide pastoral help because all of us meet suffering at different points in life.

Join us Sunday morning and/or evenings as we explore these topics through June!
