Church Supper. First Church UCC of Bridgton invites the community to a spaghetti dinner and pumpkin carving fundraiser beginning at 5 p.m. Enjoy a delicious spaghetti dinner, with vegetarian and gluten-free options available, served from 5 to 6:30 p.m. After dinner, stick around for some pumpkin carving fun hosted by the Youth Group! Pumpkins will be pre-hollowed and ready to decorate and take home. Dinner is offered on a donation basis, so please give whatever you are comfortable with and able to. All proceeds will directly support the Youth Group’s upcoming CityReach Mission Trip to Boston in November, where they will have the opportunity to serve and connect with individuals experiencing homelessness.
