Latest from the Bridge Church
Happy Friday Bridge Church Family!
I’m back!! After some time away with my family, I (Pastor Rob) am now fully back from vacation and SO ready to gather with you all this Sunday at 10:00am for our weekend worship experience at The Bridge Church! I’ve missed you, I love you, and I can’t wait to teach God’s Word and worship alongside each and every one of you.
This Sunday is going to be a powerful one. First off, we are wrapping up our summer series that we’ve been calling “Summer Daze: Finding God in the Fun” with a timely message from Revelation 15:1-8 that I’m calling: “This Summer…Choose Faith > Fear”.
In this message, we are going to walk through this passage verse by verse as we discover how—though fear may roar in our lives—faith sings even louder. We’ll talk about how perfect love drives out fear and how no matter what you’re facing right now... Jesus wins in the end.
So if you are reading this right now, and your current story doesn’t feel good yet—then don’t give up. Because it’s not over. God is still writing it for your good and for His glory.
The message this Sunday is actually rooted in the first of our shared values at The Bridge Church with is:
Biblical Authority – Because here at the Bridge, we believe that God’s Word is the foundation for our lives and faith. And at our church, we always strive to live out its truths in every aspect of our lives.
So this Sunday bring your Bible, bring a friend, and come ready for God to move.
But that’s not all…Because AFTER church, we’re also throwing our Summer All-Church Potluck in the Welcome Center! It’s going to be one to remember:
Unlimited ribs (yes, unlimited!)
Delicious food
Even better fellowship
Here’s how you can help:
Not only that, but we’ve also got an amazing worship set lined up this Sunday with Elizabeth Kirk and the rest of our team, including:
As I wrap up this email, let me just leave you with this promise from God’s Word:
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.” – Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)
Dear friends, let us believe that verse/promise together—and live like it!
So come early, stay late, bring your Bible, invite a friend, and let’s experience all that God is about to do in our midst.
I can’t wait to see you Sunday!
With love and excitement,
Pastor Rob
The Bridge Church, Reno

Summer fun is in full swing, and we’ve had an amazing time soaking up the sunshine, playing with friends, and diving into God’s Word together! This Sunday, we’re wrapping up our series on the Holy Spirit as we finish our journey through the Book of Acts. It’s been incredible learning how the Holy Spirit empowers us, guides us, and works through us no matter how young we are! And guess what? We’ve got a very special guest leader this week…The LEGENDARY Mrs. Heather will be joining us! She’s bringing her energy, wisdom, and fun and you do not want to miss it! Join us this Sunday for one more awesome week of truth, worship, and summer joy at Bridge Kids!
Food Pantry Update
The pantry continues to thrive and our neighbors give us compliments on all the product they receive. This week we received 70 repacked boxes from the Food Bank. We believe these were donations collected at your mailbox back in May. We received 10 boxes of each category; vegetables, entrees, cereal, pasta, baking, condiments, and snacks. What our food pantry is unable to use we donate to Reno Sparks Gospel Mission or Project 150. It took a team to get it on the shelves but we know that Jesus is always providing and loving each of us so we can pass that love onto our community. For the month of July we are looking for donations of Jelly and Shampoo/Conditioner.
