All Saints Worship is coming... ! If you have a loved one in your family who passed away since November 1, 2023, please let us know! All Saints Day is the first Sunday in November.

Thank you to everyone who helped out and came out for our Potato Bar! Thank you for donating potatoes & toppings! The kids had a great time serving and considering where all those topping came from -- from God to farm to table. We're very blessed!
Sunday, October 26 2 - 4 PM: Bridgewater Community Halloween @ Oakdale Park
The Children's Ministry Team and Pastor Mary will be teaming up to wear costumes and host a table where we can pass out candy to community members! Our kiddos can walk around the track to get candy and then help pass some out at our table if they want!
Looking ahead to our Children's Program for Christmas!
We will be having our Children's Christmas Program as part of a Service for a Sunday in Advent. We will rehearse with the kiddos during the Sunday School hour for a few of the weeks in November and early December, leading up to Christmas. More details are coming!
