Ladies Circle
The purpose of the Ladies Circle is to provide three types of opportunities for women of the church: fellowship and spiritual enhancement, tasks and work projects for the betterment of the church plant and program, and participation in white cross and mission outreach programs. The group meets on the third Wednesday of each month at 9:30 a.m.
Prayer Shawl Ministry
Women of PBBC entered this already thriving ministry in 2001 and quickly became part of a web of yarn that encircled the globe. Shawls are either knitted or crocheted and given away to those experiencing grief and pain as well as to those celebrating great joy. There seem to be so many occasions when the gift of a shawl is either a comfort or a delightful surprise. The project has become a total church effort. Folks who are not into needlework often donate toward the purchase of yarn, and everyone joyously participates in the blessing ceremonies that our pastor builds into worship services. Late in 2006 we gave away our 500th shawl! The blessings that emanate from this ministry fall upon both those who receive and those who create, and may best be described with words from its theme song WEAVE. "We are many textures, many colors, different from one another but entwined with one another in one great tapestry. We are different instruments playing our own melodies, each one tuning to a different key, but we are all playing in harmony in one great symphony. We are woven together in unity and love."
Co-Op Youth Group
Poquonnock Bridge Baptist Church has partnered with sister Noank Baptist Church to work with middle and high school youth, a Co-Op Youth Ministry "Dream" Team and a Youth Ministry Coordinator. Together they plan and carry out the calendar of activities, with assistance from other youth and adults needed. Activities include monthly "Seek & Find" music discussions, "50 Questions" inspirational discussions, thoughtful moments and fun games, as well as movies, retreats, field trips, car washes and Sunday services all planned by the youth. Contact Kristen Negaard O'Brien or visit their website to see how you can participate!
Camp Wightman
Camp Wightman is a ministry of ABCCONN located in North Stonington, on 260 acres of land on the shores of Billings Lake. They provide year-round Christian hospitality and nearly thirty summer camping programs available for children, youth, adults, and families. Camp Wightman has hosted many of the church's retreats and annual church picnics. Every summer, we are blessed to be represented at camp by children, youth, adults and grandparents of all ages. To find out more about summer camps, retreat bookings and registering online, please visit their website.
Tag Sale
The church holds two very popular tag sales each year, one in the spring and one in the fall. You will find new and used furniture, household items, clothing, electronics, CDs, books, games and much more! There are thousands of items and stuff does leave our doors very quickly! The tag sale is a two day event, lasting from 9am-3pm on both Friday and Saturday. There are wonderful bargains and almost any item you can think of. Come for our stuff or for the great variety of baked goods! Many church members and friends and family participate in making this a great ministry for the community and a vital fundraiser for the church.
