Adam is the son of The Rev. Dr. Aaron and Kristi Brewer and the Grandson of KOP Parishioners, Sandy and Gary Burch. Adam’s Big sister is Caroline Brewer of Columbia, South Carolina. A 2023 graduate of Camden County High School, Adam enjoys several sporting activities to include, swimming, bowling, pickle ball and the Wii video. While on the KOP Bowling Team, Adam improved his score each time and received his own bowling shoes, ball and bag as a graduation gift. An avid swimmer, Adam loves the water, especially water slides. Most recently, Pickle Ball has become a new activity. This smart young man is a computer “wiz”. He enjoys the challenge of video games. Mario Go Cart is his favorite. Other computer activities include reading stories, YouTube and studying trains and elevators. A Disney fan, Adam’s favorite Disney character is Russell in UP, favorite Disney movie is Cars, favorite park is Hollywood Studios and favorite ride is Alien Swirling Saucers. Adam loves his two family dogs named Vicar and Maisy, who have been in the family since they were pups. This handsome guy escorted Miss Clary Minick to “Night to Shine” and cut the rug on the dance floor with this darling gal. Veggies are a BIG NO but Adam absolutely loves Honey Crisp Apples. Someone very special has stolen Adam’s heart and he adores spending time with his Grandma Sandy and Gary Burch. Adam stays busy helping Grandma run errands, shopping at Ace Hardware, dropping mail at the post office, going to the doctor and the drug store. Grandma is sure to give Adam tips on gardening as he helps to water the plants. There was a “twinkle in his eye”, when we talked about Grandma Sandy! On Sunday morning, you can find Adam in the KOP “Pilot’s Seat” located in the Rector’s office. Stop in and say “Hello”.

Children and Youth Information

King of Peace currently provides two educational opportunities for children and youth…

1. Children and Youth Church. This is for children from K – 12th grade. Children leave at the beginning of the sermon and return during the Passing of the Peace. Children go to the conference room and have a lesson based on the weekly bible reading. We are currently doing the one room schoolhouse model but will break into age appropriate groups as the need arises.
2. KOP – YC. This is a youth group for children from K – 12th. They meet the 2nd Sunday of each month from 4:00 – 6:00. This fall we will be using “ A Child’s Guide to the Holy Eucharist” as we explore the meaning of communion. We also have times of fellowship such as bonfire with s’mores, attending a Jacksonville Icemen hockey game and Christmas caroling.

Fall meeting dates: Sept. 8, Oct. 13, Nov. 10, Dec. 8
