11:00 - Worship begins. Arriving early allows everyone to get settled in the Meeting room. Extra seating is available in the adjacent Library. Worship lasts about an hour. If you are visiting, please sign our guest book. 

  • Childcare for infants through pre-K is available each Sunday in the downstairs play area. 

Summer schedule for children: BFM schedules at least three of our paid caregivers for our children's summer playground supervision.  

          • In some cases, we might have to ask a parent of a child under age 3 to assist us if there are several youngsters who are not independently mobile or if the age group is very diverse.
