Latest from the Bridge Church
Hello there Bridge Church Family!
Pastor Rob here, and as we head into the summer season, I want to personally invite you to join us this Sunday at The Bridge for an exciting new beginning.
And that’s because this weekend, we are launching into a brand-new message series that we’re calling “Summer Daze: Finding God in the Fun”…where for the next five weeks, we will be exploring as a church family how to glorify God, grow in our relationship with Jesus, and make a greater spiritual impact—all while enjoying the unique rhythm of summertime.
And so, to kick things off, this Sunday I will be teaching verse-by-verse through Colossians 1:15-23 in a message that I’m calling “This Summer...Put God First.” This powerful passage is going to remind us that when Jesus is at the center of our lives, everything else falls into place. Because when we put Christ first, then and only then can we live the full, free, and fearless life that God created us for.
Also, this Sunday we will also be starting a churchwide read-along of “Have Serious Fun” by Jim Burns—which is a book filled with extremely practical wisdom on how to live our lives with purpose, passion, and joy in Jesus. Jim Burns, the president of HomeWord Ministries, wrote this book after receiving an unexpected cancer diagnosis in 2021. And so, what began as a letter to his children turned into a powerful guide for all of us on how to leave a legacy of faith.
And the good news, is that this book is now available for free starting today on the Bridge Church App, along with free access to the “Have Serious Fun” video course. We encourage you to walk through this material on your own, with your spouse or family, or with your Bridge Small Group during the series.
Not only that, but in addition to our new message series, we will also be hosting some fun, family-friendly fellowship events after each Sunday service to celebrate the summer season together. This Sunday we’re kicking things off with “Water-Melon-Madness”—a relaxed time to connect with others and enjoy some delicious, free watermelon right after church.
Also starting this Sunday at 11:45 a.m., we’ll launch a new round of Basecamp, which is “part one” of our four-part discipleship pathway that is designed to help you grow deeper in your walk with Christ. If you haven’t signed up yet, there’s still time—and you’re welcome to simply show up. And don’t worry…you will still have plenty of time to grab some watermelon before class begins. ?
So this Sunday, come ready to worship, to learn, and to connect. Bring your Bible, invite someone new, and get ready for a joy-filled start to a powerful season.
“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” – Jeremiah 29:13 (NIV)
Looking forward to seeing you this Sunday!
—Pastor Rob

Bridge Kids Update
We hope everyone had a fun and restful Memorial Day weekend! With the sun shining and beautiful weather all around, it’s starting to feel like summer is officially on the way! This Sunday, we’re excited to continue our series on The 5 Purposes. Each week, we’re exploring how God created us with a special purpose and this week’s lesson is one you won’t want to miss! Through fun, worship, and meaningful teaching, we’re helping kids grow in their faith and understanding of God’s plan for their lives. We can’t wait to see all your smiling faces this weekend!
Food Pantry Update
The Food Pantry has expanded. With help from Frank Nash and his team we were able to cut through the cinder block wall to make an opening to the back storage area. This will allow us to house more product and our freezers. With help from Lon, Loretta, and Mary we then spent a day to move everything from the pantry, clean it all, and replace. God continues to provide for our pantry. One of those provisions were 11 cases of eggs for the upcoming pantry next week. We are so thankful to each of you that are a part of our church pantry. Go Team, you are all very appreciated. For the month of June we are looking for donations of soup and chili.
