The Children, Young and Old, Loved the Halloween 'Trunk or Treat'
|
This year, over 200 trick or treaters visited the Church to enjoy our 4th Annual 'Trunk or Treat' event! Trick or treating in Boscawen is traditionally held the night before Halloween or 'gate night', and this year, due to the weather, the Church's 'Trunk or Treat' event was moved into the sanctuary. Many parents were relieved as the night outside as rainy and cold!
Inside the sanctuary, children, young and old enjoyed the costumes, baked goods, hot cider, candy and general air of festivity. With Boscawen being such a rural community, this annual event brings everyone together and allows the children the freedom to roam the sanctuary, trick or treating at the different stations and families to visit with one another. It was a great night, and we can't wait to see everyone again next year! |

41ST ANNUAL CONCORD, NH CROP HUNGER WALK, OCTOBER 11, 2025
|
BCC members participating on walk day were: Chris Paull, Laura Lane, Mark, Heather & Derick Wunschel, and Beau the dog! The Boscawen team raised $580. We probably won’t have a final walk total until Thanksgiving, but as of 10/28/25 we are at about $16,000 – exceeding our $15,000 goal. Thanks to all who donated this year.
CROP Hunger Walks raise money to support the global mission of Church World Service to respond to hunger, poverty, displacement, and disaster. After the walk, CWS returns 25% of the funds raised to the Greater Concord Interfaith Council to support local hunger fighting efforts. Hilda's Food Pantry at BCC is one of the programs that will receive money from this year's walk To see more pictures from the walk go to: https://www.greaterconcordinterfaithcouncil.org/crop-hunger-walk-2025.html or to the Interfaith Council's Facebook page. |

I HAVE DECIDED TO FOLLOW JESUS...
EIGHT PEOPLE BAPTIZED AT THE BLACKWATER RIVER

On August 3, 2024, Pastor Dave baptized eight people in the Blackwater River, making their public commitment to become loyal followers of Jesus Christ.

ANNUAL TRUNK OR TREAT HALLOWEEN EVENT ALWAYS A HUGE SUCCESS! - OCTOBER 30
These pictures are from our 2022 event. Rain caused us to move the event inside in 2023 - and we forgot to take pictures!
|
Our annual 'Trunk or Treat' Halloween event is a fantastic opportunity to connect with young Boscawen families. Over 300 people attend this annual event held in the parking lot of the church to allow their children to have Halloween fun in a safe setting. Over a dozen church members decorate the trunks of their cars and hand out Halloween candy for this event. Boscawen always celebrates Halloween on 'Gate Night' which is October 30th each year and starts at 5:30pm.

"Hilda's" Food Pantry is Re-Dedicated
On Sunday, June 12, we gathered to pray and re-dedicate the BCC Food Pantry (Hilda's Food Pantry) after much-needed attention, repairs and renovations were done. It's simply sparkling and reconfigured for improved use of space and accessibility! May God increase His presence here and bless this ministry done in His name so that it can be the hands and feet of Jesus to the hungry people of Boscawen.

CHURCH RECORDS NOW ONLINE AT THE NEW ENGLAND HISTORICAL GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY
The church loaned our records to the New England Historic Genealogy Society last year. They filmed and digitally copied all the records. One of the digital copies was placed at the Boscawen Historical Society with a second set at church.
The NE Historical Geneological Society indexed the records and now will be making them available to their members for genealogical research! Thank you Ron Reed for making this happen!
