Groups and Activities at Ledgewood Baptist Church

Youth

The Baptist Youth Fellowship (BYF) is for junior and senior high youth and meets about every Thursday at 5:45 p.m. for worship and fun.  They even get a free dinner!   The BYF also has special events like the annual ski trip, Creation Christian music festival, summer trip to Knoebbel's Amusement Park, spring or fall retreats, and the Christmas party. Leaders of the group are Celeste Holwick, Jason Salmon and Becky Rubenstein.

Younger children have God's Adventure Team and Beelievers.  They also meet on Thursdays at 5:45.  There is a special children's church service for them every week during the worship services.

For those age 17 and up we have a softball team each spring with the Morris County Christian Softball League.  Our team is often the best in the league.

Women

Every Thursday morning at 9:30 a.m. the mothers meet for a one hour Bible study in the church. Babysitting is provided.

The women have a mission group called 5-W's. (Willing Women Working Worshipping Witnessing) They meet the fourth Wednesday of each month at 7:30 p.m., either at a member's home or at the church. They study about missions, raise money, and roll bandages and have other projects to assist missions.

Men

Men have a Bible study every Monday night from 7:30 to 9:00 p.m.  It meets in a classroom in the Fellowship Center.   We always have refreshments but we really come because we love to study God's Word.

We often have couples' retreats in the autumn at beautiful Spruce Lake Retreat Center in Canadensis, Pennsylvania.

50 years and up

The third Wednesday of the month is J.O.Y. club time, as in Just Older Youth.  Doris Schrum is the organizer. We meet at noon in the church with our own brown bag lunches and share in games, Bible study and dessert.
