IN CASE YOU DIDN’T HEAR ABOUT WHAT GOD HAS BEEN DOING AT THE BRIDGE…
NEIGHBORHOOD EGG HUNTS On Saturday, March 26th, our church took 10,000 candy filled eggs to area parks and hosted four incredible Easter Egg Hunts! This has been a tradition of The Bridge for the past couple of years, and this year’s hunt continued to be a great way of serving our community. Thank you to all who joined us to serve on Saturday, those who help stuff all 10,000 eggs with candy, and all of our students who passed about thousands of door hangers! The Bridge family made this event a huge success!
HAITI MISSIONS TRIP How did you spend your Spring Break? For twelve individuals from The Bridge, they chose to leave the comfort of their own homes to serve in the country of Haiti. Haiti, still recovering from devastating storms and a massive earthquake, has been in desperate need of aid and assistance for years. Our team was able to bring much needed water purification supplies and willing hearts to serve this country and the incredible people that live there. The trip was a great success!
BRIDGE STUDENTS BRIDGE OKC March 18th was a busy day for our church plant, The Bridge OKC. Saturday the 18th, the Bridge OKC team hosted their very first Easter Egg Hunt at Horace Mann Elementary, where more than 120 people served and participated in the day’s activities, making it a great day!

March was a huge month for our Students. Beginning the month by hosting illusionist, Curt Anderson, our Bridge Students then followed up Spring Break with their annual Family Night and then ended the month with their special testimony service, “The Story of My Life.” God continues to do great things in our student ministry! Thank you for all of your support.
