Sunday Worship
Matthew 1:23
"Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, which means 'God is with us.'"

Immanuel - God With Us!
What does it mean that God is "with us"?

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!

Stuff to pray about...

  • Pray that the Bridge would have a greater impact on the community than just Sunday mornings.  Pray that God would get people excited about serving in Allegan!
  • Pray for relationships to keep growing among all of those committed to the Bridge.
  • Pray for the Bridge staff as they raise funds to support their families.
  • Pray for a economical vehicle for the Birds.

Church on Wheels Training
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!
Thanks for supporting and praying for the Bridge!  Let us know if we can help you in any way.
 
Merry Christmas!
