For the filling, in a medium saucepan combine berries, sugar, water, lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, simmer uncovered for about 8 minutes or till slightly thickened, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.

In a mixing bowl, stir together the flour, oats, brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and baking soda. Stir in the melted butter or margarine until thoroughly combined. Set aside 1 cup of the oat mixture for topping. Press remaining oat mixture into an ungreased 9X9X2-inch pan. Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 20 to 25 minutes.

Carefully spread the filling on top of the baked crust. Sprinkle with the reserved oat mixture. Lightly press the oat mixture onto the filling. Bake for another 20 to 25 minutes more or until topping is set. Cool in the pan on a wire rack. Cut into bars.
