Paying attention is something that we are taught from a very young age. Our Moms & Dads need us to listen and follow instructions, teachers ask us for their attention, even the Emergency Broadcast System was created to get our attention if there is information we need to know for our safety. It is important that we learn to listen to God--through God's word, through prayer, through worship--and also trust that God knows and cares and is attentive to each one of us. Jesus said, "Even the very hairs on your head are numbered." Matthew 10:30
We are becoming the people of God. We will worship at 8:30 AM & 11 AM. Sunday School classes will continue. There will be Kid's Time at both services. Nursery and Children's Church are both open.
Our focus scriptures this Sunday are Isaiah 40:21-31 and Mark 1:29-39. Here is a link to the scripture readings: https://lectionary.library.
Join us this Sunday in person or online! You can access our live stream from the website (www.bridgewaterumc.com). Click on "Sermons" and then "Live Steam." You may also join us directly on YouTube at Bridgewater UMC Virginia and click on the LIVE tab.

Our diaper need has reached 121,202. None of this could have been accomplished without each of you. God is using you and this ministry in mighty ways. I'm looking forward to serving with you in 2024.

Calling Singers for Musical Production
|
|
|
Harrisonburg Baptist Church is sponsoring a production of The Witness, by Carol & Jimmy Owens as part of their Easter season 2024, which is open for community participation.
This narrated, choral, one--act biblical musical was written in 1978 by Carol & Jimmy Owens as a tool for presenting the gospel in song. The musical focuses on Peter's perspective and follows the gospel through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
This one hour production features Peter, his wife Mary, James and John, their mother, Judas, and a full choir ensemble. The Witness features a variety of songs that will spark both emotional and spiritual uplifting in celebration and remembrance of Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Open on-call events for interested singers will be held January 13 & 14 at Harrisonburg Baptist Church. If you are interested, there is more information on the Community Bulletin Board. |

Differences
|
|
We ended 2023 with a deficit of ($2,893) as compared to a deficit in 2022 of ($59,815). This end of year performance in part is driven by a strong giving month in December and a YTD reduction in expenses in the amount of $38,508 (we did not pay $9,264 of our Va. Conference Apportionment). |
