In 2025, our community continues to grow strong. This holds true for one of our most important projects, the Bridgeport Community Garden. Garden beds are cared for by neighbors, housed and unhoused, by local nonprofits, a nearby church, and members of our own community. It has been providing food for our neighborhood for three years. On March 2, 2025, our garden team gathered with volunteers with Portland Edible Gardens, who led a workshop on beginning the planting season. It is with great joy that we announce that there will be monthly workshops, every 4 weeks on Monday at 2:00 pm. Feel free to join us if you'd like to learn how to manage an edible garden, or to simply help. If you are interested in joining our garden team, please send an inquiry by clicking the email address below and let us know. Browse our then and now gallery below to see how our community garden has evolved over the years. Additionally, if you are interested in sponsoring a garden box, we have one more available. This is free of charge. Be a part of this community movement and help provide Food for the People today. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/fe07e1b0-5ef1-4de4-b72e-cc220cb28392/IMG_4708.jpg Blog -

Beaches & Bridgeport: A Talk with Kate Schmidt She keeps busy with various projects, and when asked which were the favorites she did for Bridgeport, 2 came to mind. The first was the Angel Project, which was a communal time of studying ancestors, figuring out pasts, and just learning about herself and others. Another favorite thing was when she helped with an Easter installation piece that involved concentric circles that looked like cobblestones. She got tasked with painting some of those, but soon relaxed and was able to contribute to the amazing piece. https://www.bridgeportucc.org/blog/whitman-program monthly 0.5 2022-12-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/f6d11ddf-7893-44b4-81e1-fcff9c6c2ee0/whitman+trucks.png Blog - Making a Difference - It’s Elementary If too much food is donated, we might need to go buy some more trucks! https://www.bridgeportucc.org/blog/bridgeport-community-garden-building-our-foundation monthly 0.5 2025-12-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/8b660403-e0f5-4d34-8b62-757e8a78a688/foodblog.png Blog - Bridgeport Community Garden - Feeding the People Bridgeport Style Expanding Community Beyond Our Four Walls Bridgeport United Church of Christ breaks ground for Bridgeport Community Garden: Food for the People. In an effort to connect with our housed and houseless neighbors, we are transforming our outdoor space to be a vegetable garden that will both feed the community and be a place of gathering and welcome. Partially funded, through grants from the Hardy Plant Society and the East Multnomah Water Conservation, along with private donations, we completed the first phase of our project. In partnership with Portland Edible Gardens, the first six beds have been installed. We’re currently raising money for our second two phases. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/1669229660734-TE6QLRPRS4LBX276ELIZ/9.jpg Blog - Bridgeport Community Garden - Feeding the People Bridgeport Style https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/1669229657374-QQI4R5A0APNKG8JZPEID/10.jpg Blog - Bridgeport Community Garden - Feeding the People Bridgeport Style https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/1669229656629-2Z0M2PBUPM5P8IPHU04G/11.jpg Blog - Bridgeport Community Garden - Feeding the People Bridgeport Style https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/1669229654314-YIFIIDMLD2ZYAJ3NBGVU/13.jpg Blog - Bridgeport Community Garden - Feeding the People Bridgeport Style https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/1669229662697-3VJLU5AQS08DXSY5C0R1/8.jpg Blog - Bridgeport Community Garden - Feeding the People Bridgeport Style https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/1669229655441-QPXQUNGY961JEGH01ZJ2/12.jpg Blog - Bridgeport Community Garden - Feeding the People Bridgeport Style https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/1669229653318-NK9GFMIQA3QI5S12L7HB/14.jpg Blog - Bridgeport Community Garden - Feeding the People Bridgeport Style https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/1669229677235-S6VWLZFBIKVH3TB6YN6N/3.jpg Blog - Bridgeport Community Garden - Feeding the People Bridgeport Style https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/1669229678954-5729ICJV1X1CTQBTAH3C/2.jpg Blog - Bridgeport Community Garden - Feeding the People Bridgeport Style https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/1669229674729-78HR1KFPPF5L6XX6FWHS/4.jpg Blog - Bridgeport Community Garden - Feeding the People Bridgeport Style https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/1669229667724-LWJIVUB8U86ERC3NNFMQ/7.jpg Blog - Bridgeport Community Garden - Feeding the People Bridgeport Style https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/1669229681312-54ZIGUZNQQYU1RO4ZIYO/1.jpg Blog - Bridgeport Community Garden - Feeding the People Bridgeport Style https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/1669229674599-B023IHXYXVUFQEGS5D7G/5.jpg Blog - Bridgeport Community Garden - Feeding the People Bridgeport Style https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/1669229668972-F0OSKVITCFV127DQRUYS/6.jpg Blog - Bridgeport Community Garden - Feeding the People Bridgeport Style https://www.bridgeportucc.org/blog/playing-keeps-for-me-a-talk-with-judy-mclean monthly 0.5 2025-12-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/1666229053516-DXE3KKLRYHZFL41AFVIH/mount-g120d86b37_1280.jpg Blog - Playing Keeps For Me - A Talk with Judy McLean - Make it stand out There are many ways that a person might strengthen their connection to God. Whether it’s crafting, singing, or spending time in solemn prayer, we all have our own way of feeling God’s presence in our life. For Judy McLean, she found a new pathway in her spirituality by being out in nature and backpacking, sometimes for days in the wild. It all began in 2014 when she went on a pilgrimage to Camino de Santiago in Spain. This pilgrimage consisted of a 500-mile walk that stood out in Judy’s mind because she was able to walk on stones from the Roman era. The sense of history on that walk, to be able to walk in the footsteps of ancestors was transcendental to her. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/1666208128316-1WXNFUG6DK0FXUHV71JB/1.jpg Blog - Playing Keeps For Me - A Talk with Judy McLean https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/1666208129358-ATOH0O5P6RYFC3AK674Z/2.jpg Blog - Playing Keeps For Me - A Talk with Judy McLean https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/1666208135626-1GBZXXQP8AONBHBWOUAK/3.jpg Blog - Playing Keeps For Me - A Talk with Judy McLean https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/1666208137552-NL4YM5H4F559Z2Z196A5/4.jpg Blog - Playing Keeps For Me - A Talk with Judy McLean https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/1666208139271-MAT10GNX1PFRW95ZZN85/5.jpg Blog - Playing Keeps For Me - A Talk with Judy McLean https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/1666208140515-PLN8UE9GVZK3HQ3U22CL/6.jpg Blog - Playing Keeps For Me - A Talk with Judy McLean https://www.bridgeportucc.org/blog/welcoming-threads-the-weaving-of-a-quilt monthly 0.5 2022-07-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/5068cef8-1cb8-458a-a6a8-14ed56019864/Kristan.png Blog - Welcoming Threads - The Weaving of a Quilt - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/1659143587523-YWKVTHD4HQPXRACFXMWS/20220717_115816.jpg Blog - Welcoming Threads - The Weaving of a Quilt https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/1659143588658-CLEG24PYQXIMT6S445BJ/20220717_115840.jpg Blog - Welcoming Threads - The Weaving of a Quilt https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/1659143589816-UOJN76WHOI8N3AYXM8KK/20220717_115924.jpg Blog - Welcoming Threads - The Weaving of a Quilt https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/1659143593348-A7D83RZ2DQEI7UI5V7OB/20220717_115953.jpg Blog - Welcoming Threads - The Weaving of a Quilt https://www.bridgeportucc.org/blog/the-long-game monthly 0.5 2022-07-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/696e3bcd-5066-4838-b87c-07d1ebf0eaab/vegetables-752153_1920.jpg Blog - The Long Game A couple of months ago, our family planted the first garden we’ve grown in a while. It’s a little hobby garden - nothing like my mom and stepdad’s half-acre in Minnesota that each summer produces gallons of canned tomatoes (and ketchup, spaghetti sauce, and salsa…). In the waning days of June, I’m enjoying watching things come up, and the find soothing the rhythms of thinning, weeding, and watering. At other times, I have grown gardens and by mid-August, I was, well, kind of over it. I would myself wondering if the yield was really worth the reward and maybe skip watering for a day, and then another, and then before you know it, instead of a garden I had a bed of brown sticks. This year, I’m looking ahead to that moment of “over it” and planning for it, so that I can keep the garden moving, even when the urgency of spring has passed. Although it doesn't come naturally to me, I’m working on playing the long game, or at least the “until end of summer” game. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/4e9613fe-83c3-4e64-b487-f72b4723b447/american-flag-7303944_1920.jpg Blog - The Long Game In recent weeks, as we watched in horror as the Supreme Court rolled back rights for women, trampled on the right to privacy, terrorized the planet, and loosened gun control laws, I have heard progressives, again and again, say that they “don't recognize this country” or they “can’t believe this is happening.” The thing is, though, that the far-right has been preparing for this time since at least the early 1970’s - using their influence to create as conservative a federal judiciary as possible, so that, as Mitch McConnell has said, they can have as much influence as they can for as long as they can. While we have given up watering and moved on to other things, the enemies of compassion and justice have been playing the long game. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/10ea5ba8-5d71-4d3d-a04d-2da25de0969d/leadership-2122020_1920.jpg Blog - The Long Game You may have also heard people say in recent days that “things are going to get worse before they get better.” That may be true, but as people of faith, we have a long game too. We know that change may not come overnight, but we believe what Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr told us, that though the moral arc of the universe is long, it bends toward justice. We know that the actions worth taking, that will lead not only to the survival but to the thriving of our community, our nation, and our planet, take time. We know that we cannot afford, as I have before with the vegetable garden, to run out of steam and drop out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/8922455d-43df-4c72-89f0-5ff104afb20d/hands-1917895_1920.png Blog - The Long Game Now is the time to lean even more energetically into loving our young, supporting our elders, engaging our neighbors, deepening our spiritual practices, standing up as visible allies for our trans siblings, feeding the hungry, marching forth when we are called, writing letters and postcards when we can, raising our voices in song and shouts for racial equity, spending our financial resources in ways that heal, building roofs over the heads of the unhoused and entering into the grinding work of freeing prisoners wherever they would be. We need to keep watering our tomatoes, even when the dry days of August arrive. None of these things make change happen all at once. All of them take patience and steadfastness and showing up again and again and again. Weary as we are from pandemic and division, with the encouragement of the Divine and this community of faith, we have the opportunity and the responsibility in these troubled days to play our own long game. https://www.bridgeportucc.org/blog/refugee-welcome-kit-gratitude monthly 0.5 2022-04-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/b5681e54-1eac-4e41-9b65-eb8f4505b669/kitsdelivered.jpg Blog - Refugee Welcome Kit Gratitude - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.bridgeportucc.org/blog/justice-and-witness-cooking-meals-for-people-living-on-the-streets monthly 0.5 2022-03-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/84bcad9f-cd4f-490b-9d22-8e09f8ee059d/IMG_0125.jpg Blog - Justice and Witness – Cooking Meals for People living on the Streets - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/b8189f53-2288-46de-8150-7cf9c7adbc41/IMG_4054.jpg Blog - Justice and Witness – Cooking Meals for People living on the Streets - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/7c240ec1-578c-42a5-9be2-f214c8f6c4d7/IMG_0123.jpg Blog - Justice and Witness – Cooking Meals for People living on the Streets - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/cbf21b54-7a4a-4d1a-b6a9-29025b1cca54/IMG_0135.jpg Blog - Justice and Witness – Cooking Meals for People living on the Streets - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/f52256b1-0010-40c9-9e01-818fa7320549/IMG_4047.jpg Blog - Justice and Witness – Cooking Meals for People living on the Streets - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.bridgeportucc.org/blog/through-new-eyes monthly 0.5 2025-12-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/bcda7295-afea-42ad-96fa-06fa3a75b0ba/abstract-19141_1920.jpg Blog - Through New Eyes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.bridgeportucc.org/blog/prayer-for-lent monthly 0.5 2022-03-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/1646942258053-2Z404X1I8T7EXB1QCEEY/long-road-sunrise-dawn-badwater-basin-death-valley-2021-08-26-22-38-06-utc.jpg Blog - Prayer for Lent - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.bridgeportucc.org/blog/drawing-the-circle-wider monthly 0.5 2022-07-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/1646175110272-UEE2P9R8IQ63BU1N2YXX/circle.png Blog - Drawing the Circle Wider - Make it stand out Graphic by Reese Walker https://www.bridgeportucc.org/blog/91zlspay4ypi3eeupyfxgluswgmltb monthly 0.5 2022-03-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/1645983045570-CO7GQYOOXNE54SNM9B6E/holy_trinity_icon.jpg Blog - Friday Prayer - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.bridgeportucc.org/blog/mlk2022 monthly 0.5 2022-03-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/1644255260724-5BNF5T9BGQVYYYKJ969Z/mlk.png Blog - Today is Martin luther king jr. day - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.bridgeportucc.org/revtarabio daily 0.75 2023-07-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/1644254558522-51Z3XS02AM66V467NJNE/revyay.png Rev.

She was born and raised in Santa Cruz, California and then moved to Princeton, New Jersey to attend Westminster Choir College where she graduated in 3 years with a Bachelor of Music in Music Education. At Westminster she sang in five different choirs ranging from symphonic choral music to early music, performed with the Philadelphia Orchestra, toured the South, and recorded two choral albums with the Westminster Williamson Voices. Since moving to Portland in April 2020, she has been working as a music educator and performer in the greater Portland area, including as far as Estacada where she taught elementary music, and Seaside where she taught middle and high school choir and directed a musical. Lindsey is also the Choir Director at West Sylvan Middle School. In the Fall of 2021, she began pursuing her Masters of Music in Choral Conducting at Portland State University where she is a graduate teaching assistant, teaching the University Choir and Thorn Treble Choir, as well as undergraduate music education classes. In her free time, Lindsey enjoys rock climbing, hiking, petting her cat, and learning to play the organ, but not all at the same time. Her recent projects include performing Beethoven’s Symphony no. 9 with the Oregon Symphony, recording an album of alumni music with the PSU Chamber Choir, and a tour in Portugal for the International Federation for Choral Music’s World Choral Exposition. https://www.bridgeportucc.org/reesebio daily 0.75 2024-02-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e1a4640151c044dad061a9/eb3ae854-2de7-4371-b0b5-7adb7ac5e6de/357300236_627835545983171_7259938989497063094_n.jpg Reese Walker -
