Superbowl Party!
5:00pm at Mike's - Everyone's Invited!
 If you've been looking for a good reason to hang out with the folks from the Bridge, this is your perfect opportunity! The party starts at 5pm at Mike's house and he is making us world famous pulled pork sandwiches - the meat is injected with apple juice and smoked for 20+ hours! (my mouth is watering just writing it!)
This party is open to EVERYONE, you don't have to come to the Bridge to attend. If you do come, we ask that you bring either pop, chips, or a dessert.
Mike's house is the BIG white house on Hill Street, Allegan, 49010.

One More
Children's Ministry Leader and
One More Helper!
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 1 more leader and 1 more help 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.

Church on Wheels
Check out that sweet ride! And who are those handsome devils?
We're extremely happy with our Church on Wheels package! There is so much great stuff. We had our first preview service using all of our new equipment on January 18 and the band rocked our faces off!
You can experience it every week beginning this week, February 1.

Nursery
& Preschool

The Bridge needs someone to minister to our youngest folks each Sunday.
If you know of someone who loves Nursery - Preschool kids and might like to earn a little extra money every week we'd like to talk with them! Pay is $20/week. Hours will be approximately from 10am - noon.
A background check is required.

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.
- Unity and love that covers over a multitude of sins (and shortcomings).
- Vision to move outside our Sunday mornings and bless Allegan, and openness from the community.
Fund raising for the Bridge as it grows, as well as the DeKrygers and the Birds personally.
A car for the Birds.
