The Bermuda Boys Brigade and the Church Girls’ Brigade worked together at their annual Christmas Car Wash at St. Paul’s Church car park in Paget on Saturday, November 16, 2019. The Boys’ Brigade also had a Christmas Sale of holiday decorations and gifts in the hall. The Boys’ Brigade and Church Girls’ Brigades members, their families and their leaders raised $1700 for charitable giving this Christmas.

Brigade families donated their time and energy, working together to raise funds to help Bermuda’s children. $1700 of BELCO?electricity was purchased for The Family Centre who will gift them to their clients. The Family Centre’s Executive Director, Ms Martha Dismont attended the Car Wash to thank the boys & girls for helping this organization, which in turn helps so many families in our island home. Mrs Dismont said that she always enjoyed speaking with the young people and and watching their faces as they understand what a difference they can make to benefit others.

Our next Car Wash will be at our annual Valentine’s Fair on Saturday, February 8, 2020 from 9 am – 4 pm at St. Paul’s Church car park in Paget. This is a great way for our members to demonstrate Christian charity at work and also have fun, and for our Brigade families to get to know each other and the leaders better.

The Church Girls’ Brigade meet on Thursday evenings and the Boys’ Brigade on Friday evenings in the Christian Education Centre.
