IN CASE YOU DIDN’T HEAR ABOUT WHAT GOD HAS BEEN DOING AT THE BRIDGE… MISSIONS EMPHASIS KICKOFF Our annual Mission’s Emphasis week tee’d off with an incredible Speed the Light Golf Tournament on Saturday, September 26th. Our very own Bridge Students hosted this tournament and will be using the proceeds to support Speed the Light missions projects. Mission’s Emphasis Week continued with an incredible Sunday morning service and exciting evening event called, “Taste of Missions.” We were able to showcase cuisine for many different countries in an exciting night of food, fellowship and vision as our church continued to rally behind and support missionaries all across the world.
YOUNG MARRIEDS GROW GROUP On Sunday, September 19th a brand new Sunday morning small group for young married couples was launched. This class, under the leadership of Steve & Misti Rosebrook, will provide great conversation and practical steps in building a long lasting marriage and happy marriage. If you are a young married couple we invite you to be part of this exciting new small group! See the Get Connected page for more details.
FAMILY NIGHT In case you missed it, Family Night on Sunday, September 13th was an incredible evening as we were able to join with families and dedicate 14 babies to God and then join in celebration with 32 individuals who were making a decision to take their faith public and be water baptized. Simply, it was an incredible evening!
