“It’s Time to Upgrade”‐ Brookland Federal Credit Union
Well, you asked and YOUR credit union has listened!!! For years, the Board and management
of Brookland FCU have listened to the voices of its members when it comes to availability and
product offerings. We have made several changes over the years to improve our member
services, and now we are ready to take another step towards meeting your requests.
We are very pleased to announce that Brookland FCU is growing its product line to better serve
its membership through increased availability. We will soon be offering Internet banking and
electronic bill pay.
In order to achieve these changes, Brookland FCU is about to undergo a complete core data
processing change. This change will upgrade our current platform and make it even easier to
add additional products in the future.
However, this much needed change requires some sacrifice. On Thursday, October 1st and
Friday October 2nd, Brookland FCU will be closed. We will resume our normal business hours
on Monday, October 5th. We do realize that this will be an inconvenience to many of our
members. However, we ask for your patience, and promise that the end result will be worth
the brief inconvenience.

“Sisters Embracing Sisters”
Brookland Baptist Sisterhood
By Robin H. Jackson
I am honored to serve as President of the Brookland Baptist Sisterhood. The committee has been
working very hard to assure that this years’ events will provide opportunities for the Sisterhood for
bonding, support, and spiritual growth. We hope that you are enjoying your experiences with the
Brookland Baptist Sisterhood.
As we begin our second year, our aim is to involve more sisters in the planning and implementing of
various programs. God has blessed each of us with spiritual gifts, and we would love to provide you
the opportunity to volunteer your gifts and services if you so desire.
All members are welcomed to participate in the Sisterhood. If you are not sure if you are a member,
and would like more information on how you can participate, visit Brookland’s website at
www.brooklandbaptist.org and click on the Sisterhood link under “Ministries.”
Together we will continue to grow and develop the Sisterhood into a true manifestation of our
slogan: “Sisters Embracing Sisters” for the benefit of all.

It’s About Spiritual Growth and Sacrificing Self:
Brookland’s Young Adult Ministry
One of the more vibrant ministries to be found at the Brookland Baptist Church is the
Brookland Baptist Young Adult Ministry (B.BY.A.M.). Founded in 2007, with the
blessing of Rev. Dr. Charles B. Jackson, Sr., the ministry was established to meet the
spiritual needs of young adults in the Brookland ministry, as well as in the Greater
Columbia community. In just two short years, the B.B.Y.A.M. has quickly grown into
one of the more dynamic and impactful ministries of the church. This ministry has
been delighted to engage the community by assisting with the Homeless Ministry,
visiting the elderly, and conducting the annual Young Adult Week.
Under the combined spiritual leadership of Rev. Nicky Wilson and Rev. Jeryl Salmond, this ministry
regularly has 35 or more participants at its Tuesday evening Bible study. While the ministry was
founded for persons aged 19‐35 years of age, there are members who do not fit into this demographic
and are valued contributors. The conversations that result from Bible study are often lively and
engaging. As a result, the ministry is family centered and definitely Word focused. Ministry members
have regularly and cheerfully given of their time, money, and talents to help those in need (whenever
and wherever the need presents itself).
Brookland Boy Scouts ‐Call For
Volunteers
Adult volunteers are greatly needed. If you
cannot commit to ongoing participation, you are
encouraged to consider holding a workshop in
which you can teach a skill that can help the boys
earn a merit badge.
“We welcome anybody who has a passion and
commitment to developing young boys,” says
Scoutmaster Davis. “That’s what we look for –
passion! If the passion is not there, there is no
commitment. “
“It’s not necessarily the person that is seen as a
leader in the community that usually volunteers. It
is sometimes the person you least expect. It’s the
professional in the congregation that sits out in
the pew every Sunday, who needs to share and
give back. We were all in these boys’ shoes at one
point. It’s time to give back.”
Boy Scout meetings will be held on
Wednesdays during the school year starting
September 2, from 6 PM to 7:30 PM at the old
site on Monticello Street.
Contact Scoutmaster Randy Davis at
rdavxman@att.net or 318‐2368 for information.

THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST by Pastor Jackson
Enlightening To The Believer; Frightening To The Unbeliever
Every member of Brookland and believer in the Lord Jesus Christ
is invited to Bible Study each Wednesday at 12 Noon and 6:00
PM beginning September 16, 2009. We will rejoice in the Victory
the Lord Jesus Christ has assured us in the revelation given to
John while exiled on the Isle of Patmos. Pastor Jackson will lead
this study on Revelation to enlighten, encourage and empower
believers.
The events unfolding in today's world are destroying the moral fabric of our society,
undermining the basic, Biblical family structure, threatening economic prosperity and
survival, and causing havoc and panic among many. If so much is happening today,
what will the future be like for our children and our grandchildren?
There is one reliable source of information about the future‐‐‐one that has an
outstanding record of accuracy...The BIBLE! We can trust the Bible to help us
understand the meaning of the events of our day and what those events tell us about
our hope for the future as we look toward the return of the Lord Jesus Christ. This
study is not intended to make anyone fearful, but to make all of us aware so we can
prepare for the coming of God's Kingdom. We want Christians who trust in the Lord to
know how to read the signs and understand coming events.
Revelation 1:3 says, "Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this
prophecy."
Come, let us read and study the Book of Revelation and be blessed.

Food Pantry Food Drive
The Yes We Will Volunteers (YWWV), an independent volunteer
organization is hosting a food drive for Brookland’s Food Pantry. YWWV
engages in community service activities each month with different charities.
In the past, this group of dedicated volunteers has partnered with Harvest
Hope, Carolina Boys Home, St. Peter’s Catholic Church Homeless Ministry
and The Ronald McDonald House. For the month of September, they have
set a goal of raising 5,000 units of non‐perishable food items on behalf of
the Food Bank.
The mission of Brookland’s Food Pantry is to assist people in need that live
in an established environment in Richland or Lexington counties. To receive service, people need documents
that verify their identity and their place of residence. This Brookland ministry is one of 400 Harvest Hope
affiliated food pantries in 20 counties in the state of South Carolina and one of the few African‐American
churches to fit into this category. On average, the Food Bank serves 40 families each month.
The food drive will run through Friday, September 25th.
To learn more about YWWV or to make a non‐perishable food donation in support of this community service
project, please contact Kevin Morgan at mpowerkm@hotmail.com or 477‐6636.

WOMEN'S BIBLE STUDY AND THE YOUNG WOMEN OF EXCELLENCE
CELEBRATES THE YEAR OF SACRIFICE AND SERVICE
This summer has been a summer of sacrifice and service for the Women's Bible Study and Young
Women of Excellence. First the women made the sacrifice to attend Bible Study this summer
and studied how to get rid of the things that weigh us down that may cause us not to be able to see
the Blessings and plans God has for us. Our main scripture was Hebrews 12:1‐2.
We focused on 4 major areas that maybe blocking our blessings:
1.Excess items we don't use that can bless someone else
2.Health issues
3.Bad Habits (sin)
4. Unhealthy Relationships
The women were placed in small groups and found scriptures that related to each category and
shared them with the class.
Reverend Betty Brown informed the class about a group of ladies in a rehabilitation center in West
Columbia that were in need of women clothing, accessories, bedding and more. The class decided to
make the sacrifice to bless the sisters with their excess by turning the old Brookland site into a
department store where the women could come in and shop
for clothes, shoes, accessories and other personal items.
On Tuesday August 4th about 25th, the women from the
center came to the church and we worshiped with them,
heard their testimonies about how they have been delivered,
ate and fellowshipped with them and then we let them shop
until they dropped!!!. One of the ladies said "I came to the
center with the clothes I had on and now she was walking out
with bags of clothes, what a blessing that was!
The Young Women of Excellence helped to coordinate and
organize the clothes and served as hostesses by welcoming
them, helping them to shop and helping to present each one
with a basket prepared by Rev. Betty Brown. Also Deaconess
Jacquie Stewart presented a card for each lady created by the
children in Children's Church.
A special thank you to Rev. Betty Brown and all of women in
Women's Bible Study who participated and the Young
Women of Excellence by showing that we are blessed to be a
blessing in this year of Sacrifice and Service
Women's Bible Study will begin again September 13th, the
second Sunday in September. Hope to see you there.
