A Message from the Pastor
Simple Living, by Pastor Mark Godfrey
Years ago, all Brethren were immediately recognizable because of their plain dress and reserved ways. Today’s Brethren live very much in the world, work in a broad range of occupations, and make use of the latest technology.
Continually, though, we try to simplify our lives. Practicing a modest nonconformity, we think carefully about our daily choices. The ideal of simplicity guides our decisions: How will we conduct our business, raise our children, spend our leisure time, tend our natural resources? How will we use our money, and why? How can we live comfortably, but without excess or ostentation?
For the Brethren, such considerations are not a requirement, but a privilege. As we seek to live intentionally, responsibly, and simply, we find a deep sense of purpose. And we find joy.
A "Welcome" Message from the Nokesville Congregation
“Welcome, we’re happy to have you join us!” Yes, we’re happy you’ve visited our website and these are the words you’ll hear when you visit our church. We consider guests to be new friends in the making and hope you’ll join us one Sunday or come to one of our fellowship opportunities. Our members are very active in community functions so you’ll see us on Nokesville Day or picking up the trash on Fitzwater Drive or helping out at Serve (the local shelter and food pantry) or playing softball.
You can find out more about us through this web-site. There’s a brief history of our church that tells you how we started with our first service in 1883. If you have never heard of the Church of the Brethren denomination, you can read more about who we are as part of the people of God continuing the work of Jesus, Simply, Peacefully, Together. Or perhaps you’d like to learn more about our Sunday School, Fellowship Groups, Rainbow Pre-School, before and after school care called Kids’ Club, or visit our Youth page. There are plenty of pictures to see also.
The Church of the Brethren began almost 300 years ago so we share a rich history with other Church of the Brethren congregations. Our faith in God is lived out through our service to others in our community, and the world. Contact us or just drop by for a visit, we’ll be “happy to have you join us!”
