This week’s focus

  • Meditation on Friday 5 April, 16:30-17:00
    On Fridays at 16:30.

  • Talk on the Life of Christ on Saturday 6 April, 10:00-11:00
    On Saturdays at 10:00. In this talk series, we follow Fulton Sheen’s Life of Christ to learn about the life of Jesus exceedingly well and ultimately learn the faith in depth and at the level of young adults.

  • Time Management Workshop, Part 1, on Saturday 6 April, 14:30-17:00
    Please sign up here as we need to send you some templates ahead of the workshop.
    In this workshop, we will work with your lecture timetable and modules' notional hours to create a weekly timetable encompassing all aspects of life. But most importantly, you'll learn a method for how to time-structure your life.

Highlights from later this month

  • Games Night on Friday 12 April at 17:00

  • Monthly recollection on Saturday 13 April, 10:00-12:00
    Every 2nd Saturday of the month at 10:00. This is a couple of hours of quiet prayer in which we can look at our lives in the presence of God.

  • Time Management Workshop, Part 2, on Saturday 20 April, 14:30-17:00
    In this practical workshop, we will share our experiences over the past few weeks since Part 1 of this workshop and fine-tune our “systems”.

  • Hike on Saturday 27 April at 11:00

Save the date for later on

  • Spiritual retreat from Friday 3 May evening to Sunday 5 May afternoon
    This is a silent retreat away from the city to be alone with God, quite a powerful experience to “catch up with God” and set your life on a good course.

  • Study Boot Camp on Saturday 25 May, from 08:00 till late
    A full day of immersion into your study without distractions. Put yourself into “flight mode” and experience the silence of the Brookside study room.

Spotlight from last week

Easter 2024 @Brookside

Most of the Brookside residents spent Easter in Pretoria. We had a fruitful time going to church, relaxing a bit (we even played a bit of soccer on Saturday), and eating this most scrumptious Easter egg! It was a wonderful time.

Feel free to share this Weekly Digest with anyone who may be interested in our events:
