Acts 1v.1-3
1 In my first book I told you, Theophilus, about everything Jesus began to do and teach2 until the day He was taken up to heaven after giving His chosen apostles further instructions through the Holy Spirit.3 During
the forty days after His crucifixion, He appeared to the apostles from
time to time, and He proved to them in many ways that He was actually
alive. And He talked to them about the Kingdom of God.
_______________>
We typically think of the Book of Acts as what happened AFTER Jesus' ministry. But, as we look closer, the author Luke tells us that Jesus was just getting started.
This week we will begin an exciting look at the continued ministry of Jesus through His chosen apostles.

Episode #3 Patience
Jesus teaches us not to worry Philippians 4:13
All Aboard! Conductor Johnny Rogers
takes us back to the time when locomotives ruled the land. These iron
dinosaurs teach us that even the strongest among us have times of
failure and weakness. In this adventure of the H.P. Powerstack Railroad, we learn the importance of PRAYER and how to pray as Jesus taught us. Join Johnny, Vladmir the Engineer, Powerstack the Train and the sinister H.P. Powerstack to discover how you can change the world through prayer.

saturday, november 14
| 
Great news! The Bridge has been given office space in downtown Allegan!
The space includes - an office, a meeting/hang out space, and a practice area for the Bridge worship band. However, the space needs a makeover before we can begin using it.
So, on Saturday, November 14 at 9am, we would like to have a work day to get the space ready.
Work that needs to be done includes: painting, cleaning, plumbing and electrical.
The more hands we have working the quicker it will go, so if you can make it please do! If nothing else, we'll have a good time, we always do!

Please pray for the city of Allegan, that God's Truth and Light would invade the lies and darkness that are destroying lives in our city.
