Sunday Worship
Psalm 23:6
God is chasing us with His goodness and mercy.

I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever! We meet on Sundays at 10:30am at Allegan High School.  Right now everything is "unplugged" our music is contemporary, dress is casual and hanging out together, coffee and snacks are all provided!

Kids are welcome!  Kids will worship with the adults and then preschool - 4th grade will be excused for some supervised fun time in the adjacent gym while the adults and teens hang around for teaching and prayer.

Come and check us out!
 
Church on Wheels
Delivery Date is January 17th

trailerOn Saturday, January 17 our Church on Wheels (COW) package will be delivered and we couldn't be more excited!

Save the date because we will spend that day being trained how to set up all of the cool stuff that's included in our COW package. 

We can use all the hands we can get for set up so if you are looking for a place to plug in at the Bridge, we'd love to have you!

Stuff that still needs praying for...

  • We need a children's ministry leader!
  • Amidst the busyness of preparing for Sunday worship and everything else we have to do, we need to maintain our focus on the mission God has given us and be able to effectively cast that vision.  Pray for our success in this.
  • Bridge staff (i.e. Roger and Lisa) are required to raise 25% of their salaries through folks that believe in the mission of the Bridge.  Pray that God would raise up generous individuals to come along side them and help provide the funding they need.
  • The Birds are praying for an economical car to help with gas costs traveling back and forth to Allegan. We know that the car is out there somewhere, please pray that God would provide it!
 
Thanks for supporting the Bridge!  Let us know if we can help you in any way.
 
Sincerely,
