For Parents
While schools are opening, we encourage you to use this time to invest in the spiritual life of your kids. You can find age appropriate resources for children from preschool through 5th grade at bridgeway.cc/kids. Materials will be updated every Sunday, but will remain online throughout the week.
These are being left available to create opportunities for review, reflection, and connection with your children.

We’ve put together all the materials your kids need to interact with their December lessons from home in convenient boxes that we are calling “Kid’s Kits!” Each Kid’s Kit includes craft supplies, printed activity sheets, family games, a 30 day faith challenge, and more!

Many of you expressed an interest in Health and Wellness for Us. We heard you! Christina, an experience personal trainer and yoga teacher, will take us through 30 minutes of breathing and stretching only. This is not a Yoga class. The sessions are for all fitness levels and will help us learn to relax and focus on ourselves and our bodies. The goal is to refresh and be better prepared for the rest of the week.

Angels for Kids
Bridgeway Community Church Angels for Kids would like to thank all sponsors who have supported the ministry by purchasing gifts and volunteering with registrations and delivering gifts at Christmas. This year our efforts are totally virtual and because of your consistent, dedicated financial support, Bridgeway will not seek sponsors for children’s gifts this year. The church will support the children of Bridgeway caregivers who have no means of providing gifts for their children at Christmas. Caregivers will need to provide proof of hardship.
