Upcoming Events & Invitations

Do you love it here? Are you interested in learning more about our church family? All are welcome to join us for a New Members Gathering after worship on Sunday, November 10 from 11:30-1:30. Lunch is provided.

We would love for you to join our upcoming mission trip to Biloxi, Mississippi from April 6-12. We will be traveling to Back Bay Mission. Back Bay Mission has a simple mission: to strengthen neighborhoods, seek justice, and transform lives.

Located in the Mississippi Gulf Coast, Back Bay Mission strengthens neighborhoods through their ministries. We will have the opportunity to serve in three of their ministries: housing rehabilitation, the food pantry, and the Micah Day Center. Click here to see their website to learn more.

This is an intergenerational mission trip, which means our confirmation class and possibly some other teenagers would be in attendance; however, any adult wishing to participate is not expected to act as a chaperone (chaperones have already been assigned). So, you could befriend the teens, but you wouldn’t be asked to supervise them. The invitation to you is to come and participate! Put your building skills to use (or learn some!), meet some wonderful people, experience a different part of the country, connect with other members of our church family and members of the Bethel church, and explore/deepen your own faith and experience of service as you do.

The West Parish Congregational Church has been to Back Bay Mission and are eager to go back. They will be hosting a meeting Sunday, September 29 at noon to discuss the details of this trip.

There is a strong need for people with building experience, but all are welcome to join us. You can join us on the trip or support us as we raise money for this mission trip.

Are you interested? Curious to learn more? Have burning questions that might influence your answer either way? Be in touch with Sandy at swissmann@bridgtonucc.org.

We are happy to announce our toddler group continues to meet every Tuesday!  Come and join in the fun with your little person!

Exciting program for little ones and their grown ups! You are welcome to join us and experience some music and creative play. Free and open to all – we’re looking forward to seeing you here! (Parking and entrance are both behind the church.)

Jeanette’s Closet is now accepting all clothing and linens/blankets.

Prayer group meets at 1:30 via ZOOM, Tuesday afternoons. Contact the church office for the zoom link.

First Church Senior Choir meets weekly on Thursday evenings (7 to 9 pm) and Sunday mornings (9 to 10 am) for rehearsal. Are you interested in joining a robust and enthusiastic group of singers? Or looking for more information about the senior choir? Email our senior choir director Debbie at dowen@bridgtonucc.org.

We have two offerings open to all:

• Wednesdays at 10 am: Calling all who are curious about scripture, hungry for community, and/or eager for a deeper connection to our sacred texts. Hosted by Rev. Emily in the church parlor. We will study the text(s) that will be read in the following Sunday’s service. No commitment is required and no attendance will be taken – come every week, or once in a while, or just drop in to connect with some good people, drink deeply of our sacred stories, and learn a thing or two. All ages, beliefs, and familiarity with the Bible are welcome. Please join us!
• Fridays at 2 pm: Studying the gospel of Mark, led by Debbie Owen
