Dear Church Family:
I pray that this email finds you healthy and safe. We are living in extraordinary times that can be scary and unnerving. We place our faith and hope in Jesus Christ who is our Savior and Lord.
The Church Council met by phone today and we have decided the following:
We have also decided that we will be holding ONLINE/PHONE Sunday Service. You will be able to call-in, use your smartphone, or computer, to participate in Adult Sunday School at 9:45 AM and Worship Service at 11:00 AM. We will also hold a Monday night Bible Study and Prayer meeting from 6:00-7:00 PM and a Thursday night prayer meeting at 7:00 PM. If you are comfortable, we will encourage you to participate using a webcam or your smartphone camera, but this is not a requirement. You will be getting information shortly on how to use our the virtual tools.
Our focus is to keep us connected in worship and fellowship through alternative means. We believe that we need to continue to cultivate community during these times of anxiety and isolation. Accordingly, our Shepherding Team will be reaching out to our congregation members on a bi-weekly basis.
I want to encourage you to use our Right Now Media Library. You can sign-up at http://bit.ly/2TMrWrs. RightNow Media has a tremendous resource of children’s programming as well.
We are asking that you consider that the church still has bills to pay during this time of uncertainty. If you are able, please start giving electronically at www.bethanyinbridgeton.com/donate or mail your offering to the church at 31 N. Pearl St., Bridgeton, NJ 08302. Our church office will be open for regular business hours and you can call the office at 1-855-818-3810.
If you’d like to share your thoughts, concerns, questions, and ideas with us as we navigate our response to this situation, we’d love to hear from you. Your input and feedback are truly important to us. Please email info@bethanyinbridgeton.com with any questions or comments.
Let us remain committed to prayer and acts of love during this time of uncertainty as we keep our eyes focused on Jesus!
In Christ,
Pastor Rob and the BGCC Church Council
