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.

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.

Contact us at angelsforkids@bridgeway.cc or 410-992-5832, ext 343 before November 21, 2020. Leave us your name, phone number and email address. We will contact you. The deadline to contact us is November 21, 2020. Due to the pandemic, support is limited.
