NEXT SATURDAY!
Church on Wheels Training

January 17th

trailerThis coming Saturday, January 17, our Church on Wheels (COW) package will be delivered!  Can you believe the day is here already?

We will spend that day being trained how to set up all of the cool stuff that's included in our COW package (8:30-4:30) so save the date. 

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

Talk to Curt DeKryger for more details.
NEEDED:KidMo
Children's Ministry TEACHERS!

Is it you?


Respected pollster George Barna has said that his research has shown that what a person believes by the time they are 14 is what they will believe for the rest of their lives.  Of course there are notable exceptions (myself included) but it should sure give us a moment of pause to realize the importance of having a powerful children's ministry in our church.

For that reason, we are looking for 2 sets of 2 people (a total of 4) who want to teach 1st thru 4th graders on a rotational basis.  We're thinking 2 weeks on - 2 weeks off, but we can work out those details to suit the volunteers. 

We will use KidMo and Li'l K curriculum making Sunday mornings easy for leaders and a blast for the kids.

The beauty of KidMo is that first of all, kids LOVE IT!  But secondly, while the kids and parents will feel like you spent all week preparing your lesson, it literally takes next to no preparation on the teacher's part.  It's fun, it's easy, and it can change the lives of kids!

If you are interested, contact Roger at 269-509-6458.

Stuff to Pray About

  • Please pray that all the details surrounding the launch and the spread of the Gospel in Allegan would be taken care of and go smoothly. 
  • Protection over Lisa and I, our families and the families of the Bridge.  The enemy is prowling around seeking someone to devour, so please pray that we'd be wise and protected!
  • Fund raising for the Bridge as it grows, as well as the DeKrygers and the Birds personally.
  • A car for the Birds.
Thanks for supporting the Bridge!  Let us know if we can help you in any way.
 
Happy New Year!
