Sammy Moves to Brookdale Paperback – January 1, 1954 by Dorothy Westlake Andrews 
 
It is wan almost universal experience these days to be occasionally "uprooted." It is an experience that a child seldom enjoys, especially if the uprooting means leaving familiar places and dear friends to go to a new home. What, then, can give such a child this very essential feeling of familiarity, of being safe, of being welcomed? If, as parents, we have shared with our children our feeling for the church as people- God's own people, who are like a good family in their loving concern for each other; if we have been so much a part of the church life that the building, the hymns, the worship procedures, the ways in which these people feel and think and act have established for the child a deeply satisfying pattern that can be recognized in any true church, then it becomes possible for even a small child to find a new environment a sense of being"at home" such as the Brookdale Church gave Sammy.
