BRIDGEWATER COLLEGE 2015-16 For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:... a time to break down, and a time to build up... a time to keep, and a time to throw away. (ECCLESIASTES 3:1) For some, the college years are a time to break down and throw away traditions from the past as we seek to discover what we believe and value for ourselves. For others, the college years are a time to build up and keep that which has shaped who we are and claim it as our own. Whether breaking down and throwing away, building up and keeping, or some of both, involvement in a community of faith can help us work through what we really believe, why we believe it and what difference it makes in the way we live. Some will settle into one congregation and develop lasting relationships; others will visit several congregations and experience a stimulating variety. Either way, the college years are a unique opportunity to deepen our understanding and experience of the mystery called God. The Congregations and Campus Ministries listed in this directory represent a rich variety of worship, fellowship, study and service that is available during your time at Bridgewater College. The congregation of each faith tradition listed in most cases is the one nearest campus. I can provide more information about specific congregations and assistance with transportation. May this be the time and season for you to sort out what needs to be broken down and thrown away, what needs to be built up and kept and what to make of the mystery called God. Let me know how I can help! Wishing you God s peace, Robbie Robbie Miller BC Chaplain Rebecca Hall 207 540-828-5383 rmiller@bridgewater.edu 3
