Food Pantry - June 26th
2021-06-26 09:00 - 2021-08-28 12:00
We are grateful that even in the pandemic, Old Bergen Church has been able to maintain its Food Pantry ministry. We do so with fewer volunteers present, and limited clients in the building at a time – following state and county guidelines. In this time of hardship over half of the people who come to our Food Pantry are seeking food assistance for the first time in their lives. Our next Food Panty distribution will be June 26th from 9:00 AM to 12:00 noon.
The July Food Pantry will be Saturday, July 31st.

Worship this Fall
2021-07-04 11:00 - 2021-12-31 17:00 | Old Bergen Church
The Consistory Session has decided to open up the church again for in person worship. We will also broadcast the services on FaceBook live streaming video for those more comfortable participating at home. The pews are marked off for social distancing. With the emergence of the Delta Variant and rising infection rates, we encourage all participants to wear masks indoors.
All worship services begin at 11:00 AM. Live streaming video will be broadcast simultaneously while the worship is in progress and then will be posted for viewers to watch later at their convenience.The link to the Facebook live streaming video is https://facebook.com/jonm.brown.94 .

Food Pantry August 28
2021-07-21 08:00 - 2021-09-18 17:00 | Old Bergen Church
Our next Food Pantry will be Saturday, August 28 from 9:00 AM until 12:00 noon. Those needing food assistance are asked to bring a referral form from one of the area social service agencies (such as Let’s Celebrate, Women Rising, PACO, Jersey City Resident Response Center, Urban League, Hudson CASA, Horizon Family Success Center).
We are grateful for the handful of volunteers who operate the Food Pantry on distribution days, as well as those volunteers who give an hour or two of their time throughout the month to bag groceries in preparation for the outreach ministries of the Deacons.
