On December 11th, 2011, we held our Annual Sunday School Christmas Pageant. Check out these ADORABLE angels, animals, wise-men, holy family and shepherds. Sorry for the copius number of pics, these kids were just too cute not to keep shooting. Many thanks to the “fabulos Wendys” (both Marks and Hopkinson) for organizing this precious event.

On Sunday, September 11, 2011 we marked the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on NYC, DC and PA. In conjunction with St. Michael’s Catholic Church, BFCC conducted a very special town-wide memorial service. Many community groups from town participated, which made it an especially moving and fitting remembrance. Reverends Van Pelt and Kvedas led us in prayer and worship. Jeremy Rodorigo was our key-note speaker. Music was provided by the combined choirs from both churches led by our own Director of Music, Joe McWilliams. Heartfelt thanks to the Remembrance Committee, led by our own Dave Keating, for organizing this beautiful ceremony. Photo credit: Liza Zajac Whitehead.


On Sept. 11th, 2011 our Sunday Morning worship service was dedicated to thanking our local first responders. All Ambulance, Fire, Police and Military (past & present) personnel were recognized and honored. Many thanks to Judy Berge for organizing this service. Photo credit: Liza Zajac Whitehead


Our annual Vacation Bible School (VBS) took place August 15th through 19th, 2011. We enjoyed a great week exploring the theme “Shake It Up Cafe” which taught us God’s recipe for our lives. We praise God for the opportunity to minister to the approximately 75 kids in attendance! Big thanks to Shohei Kobayashi and Johanna Fitzpatrick for the photos.


Our Senior Pilgrim Fellowship’s 30 Hour Famine took place on June 17th and 18th, 2011. During this annual event powered by World Vision, the youth fund-raise, fast, fellowship and pray all while learning about hunger and what we can do to stop it. Our entire congregation enjoyed hearing about their experience the next day as we featured the 30 Hour famine as our June Mission Moment. Thanks to Alyssa Korzon for these great pics.
