• Refugee Restart Kits

In partnership with Refugee Care Collective (RCC), help us assemble Restart Kits and provide essential household items to welcome refugees into our city and give them the hospitality needed to make a new place feel like home.

  Dates: Dec 19 & Jan 23

  Location: RCC Warehouse (10160 SW Nimbus Ave, Suite F-3, 97223)

• Self-Care Backpacks for Survivors of Sex Trafficking

  Sex-trafficking is a major issue in our world, including right here in Portland. The average age of entry into this industry is 13, often due to lack of resources, safe and supportive networks, and/or other viable options. Self-care backpacks are a great way to help restore dignity and remind individuals of their worth. Bridgetown Church would like to collect 100 of these backpacks to distribute to various organizations in our city. Visit our justice page for more information on assembly guidelines.

  Dates: Jan 23

  Time: 12 - 2 PM

  Location: Back parking lot of Bridgetown Church (2120 NE Tillamook)

• 31 Days of Prayer

  We are taking the month of January to focus on prayer. We believe that prayer changes reality. The starting point for all significant works of God is prayer. It is here that we have an opportunity to interact with the Spirit of God and participate in the work of bringing redemption to our city and healing into our lives. We will be offering a daily prayer card, an all night prayer event on New Year’s Eve, a teaching series on prayer, practice classes on prayer, and continuing our rhythms of noon intercessory prayer and morning worship.

  Dates: Jan 1 - 31

• Bible Reading Plan

  One of the most important ways that followers of Jesus hear from God is through the reading of Scripture. We’ve created a Bible reading plan that takes you through the entire Bible in a year, with an option to read through the New Testament and Psalms in a year. Both plans include short, animated videos from The Bible Project. We invite you to follow along with us this coming new year!

  Dates: Jan 1 - Dec 31
