Prayer Vigil for the Victims of the A.M.E. shooting in Charlestown, SC

Sunday,  June 21st  7-8 pm, 

Central Square Congregational Church, 

71 Central Sq., Bridgewater

 

Congregations and clergy from the Bridgewater area will gather for a prayer vigil to remember all of the victims of this shooting, their friends and relatives, and their congregation.  We mourn their loss, and we gather to express our solidarity with them and with all victims of racism and violence.  

This will be a time to grieve the loss of life, to stand against racism, hate, and violence, and to again signal our desire for stricter back ground checks for gun ownership. Bring a candle or sign or flowers if you wish - but most of all bring yourself. It will also be a time to share our feelings and concerns with one another. 

All congregations and religious leaders are welcome to join us.

Rev. Beth Walden, 

Central Square Congregational Church, Bridgewater
Rev. Carol Ashton, First Church West Bridgewater
Rev. Jim Conley, Union Congregational Church, UCC, East Bridgewater 

Rev. Ken Mantler, United Methodist Church, Bridgewater
Rev. Paul Sprecher, 

First Parish Church Unitarian Universalist, Bridgewater

During these hot summer days, come cool off with a refreshing glass of Lemonade and some sweet treats at the Greater Bridgewater Women of Today Lemonade Stand!  We will have lemonade and baked goods and the proceeds will benefit the Cops for Kids with Cancer Organization in memory of Shannon Crowley. Shannon was an 8 year old cancer survivor who passed away last June, from complications of treatment for neuroblastoma. This will be the second year in a row that GBWOT has held the Lemonade Stand in Shannon's memory.

Last year the group raised $1,115 for Cops for Kids with Cancer with the lemonade stand and the group hopes to raise even more this year.  Greater Bridgewater Women of Today is a volunteer organization that performs community service, raises funds to support local and national charities and fosters friendships. To date, GBWOT has helped over 40 local families who were enduring hardships, through it's Family in Need Fund. Meetings are open to the public and are held on the third Monday of the month.

Transportation Notice for B-R Students

Dear Parents and Guardians:

The pay to ride registration program was extended in Bridgewater during the month of May due to the impact of the partial roof collapse at the Mitchell Elementary School. Please note that the deadline for payment which was originally scheduled for May 29, 2015 was too short a period of time for families to respond. In order to assist families with their planning for next school year's transportation, the payment deadline will be extended through August 15, 2015.
