Fall 2018 Connections – Experience God Through Small Groups

Here at Bridgewater United Methodist (BUMC), you will find exciting ways to connect with God and with one another through opportunities of adult education and small group gatherings.  This ministry is meant to help you find ways to intentionally grow in your faith journey with others in the Bridgewater UMC community.

Connections groups allow us to share, question, and dig deeper into our faith in ways that are not always possible in Sunday worship.  These are also perfect opportunities to invite a friend, neighbor, relative or someone who is already part of the BUMC community to join you in a casual, relaxed and friendly atmosphere.  All are welcome!

Details on our Fall events can be found in our Fall 2018 Connections Brochure.
