Love Local Returns Sunday,
February 17: Join us for lunch after church
as we dine in local restaurants. Love Local is an effort to reacquaint ourselves with the local community of our Bound Brook. So many of us travel to church from our communities, buzzing through town without a second glance. Let’s get to know Bound Brook and each other over lunch. Look for the sign-up on the round table in the reception area. Dining location assignments will be made available on the morning of February 17th.

Prayer Group All are welcome to join us in conversation and
prayer Sunday February 10, at 4 PM in the
reception area as we share our frustrations and our
insights regarding the current challenges we face as a
nation. This is not a partisan gathering, but
simply a safe space to wrestle with our hopes and
fears, in light of our faith.
Wednesday Night Supper & Sabbath: We had such a great time gathering on Wednesday evenings in January that we would like to continue gathering once a month beginning in March. Each Wednesday we will come together at 6:30 PM in the reception area for a lite supper followed by worship and con-versation related to devotional living. Please mark the following dates on your calendar and look for sign ups coming soon.

If you are interested please contact Sally Zeiner ([email protected]) or Bill Dettelback ([email protected])!
Spark Sunday School Bound Brook Presbyterian Church uses a workshop rotation model for Sunday School, which means that we spend four weeks with each Bible story so that children have time to truly understand them. We enjoy science, art, cooking, and creative drama lessons.
This month we are exploring the Bible story, the House Built on a Rock. Last week, we read the story as a call to action. God's word is a strong foundation if we act on it! Feb. 10 Cooking Feb. 17 Science Feb. 24 Art
If your child(ren) will be attending Sunday School this year and you have not yet registered them for Sunday School, please take a moment to complete this form.
SOS (Share our Stories) meets on the second and fourth Wednesday morning of each month from 10 to 11:30.

Linda Owens March 6 will be a planning session for future topics including outside speakers on Health Care, Elder law and Pets and Vets.
