New to Briarwood – Honoring Mamma Jean Oswald and Pastor Eric Schulze
From Briarwood’s newsletter:
This summer we have added a tower that measures 30 feet tall and on this tower are a climbing wall, vertical playpen, and “Jacob’s Ladder.” Off of this tower is a 450 foot zip line that climbers get to ride after they’ve made it to the top! This addition has proven to not only be a highlight for summer campers but an attraction as we now offer BASE Camp (Briarwood’s Awesome Summer Experience) to the surrounding Community.
This new addition was made possible because of gifts given in Memory of Mamma Jean and Pastor Eric, a gift from Pastor Eric’s Estate, a major gift from Grace Lutheran Church, Fort Worth, a grant from the NT-NL Mission Endowment Fund along with gifts from Ron and Becky Brakke and Calvary Lutheran, Richland Hills.
We not only give thanks for these gifts to Briarwood but also for the opportunity to honor two pillars of Briarwood’s ministry! Everyone is invited to join us at Briarwood for a cook-out lunch on Saturday, September 23, at 12:30 pm. A dedication will follow the lunch and everyone is invited to spend the afternoon at Briarwood to enjoy outdoor activities along with the opportunity to climb the wall and ride the zip line!
