The Bridge is a Simple Church on purpose.  We intentionally offer very little in the way of programming in order to give folks the time they need to plug into their communities and neighborhoods and build relationships.

However, there are still things that we enjoy having on Sunday mornings like - coffee and a warm smile greeting us (Hospitality), our sound and stage and chairs set up (the Crew), and our kids having a fun and growing experience with Jesus Christ (KidMo!).

To accomplish those things, we need volunteers like you to pitch in and make sure that they get done and that nobody at the Bridge has to carry the full burden alone.  So, check out these opportunities and see where YOU might fit in to serve at the Bridge.

___________________________
HOSPITALITY


















The Hospitality folks make the coffee, set up the back tables, set out the delicious snacks that people bring in, keep the cups, creamer and sugar stocked, and make sure that folks get greeted with a smile when they come to the snack area.

Contact Lindsey Kerber at brad.lindsey.kerber@gmail.comfor more info.

The Crew













Some of the crew kicking back after getting things set up.

The Crew unloads the trailer at around 8:15am on Sunday mornings and gets the worship center set up in time for the band to start rehearsing at 9am.  They then tear everything down and load it back into the trailer by noon or 12:30pm after church. 

Contact Curt DeKryger at cd@division7roofing.com for more info.

KidMo!

KIDMO is an interactive multimedia-based curriculum for grades 1 - 5.  Being interactive means that the DVD does all the heavy lifting of teaching and you get to have fun and interact with the kids.

KIDMO comes complete with lesson plans, leader questions, and game suggestions is so easy to use, so you'll spend no time preparing, and more time making an impact with the kids from the Bridge.

If you love being with kids this is a great opportunity.  Contact Roger at roger@thebridgeinallegan.com for more info.

Jr. and Sr. highers are invited over to hang out at the Bird's house on Wednesday nights from 7-9pm (we realize this Wednesday is the night before Thanksgiving but the kids are still interested in getting together.) 

There is no program, just hanging out, laughing, playing board games or cards...being goofy...all the things you're good at!

Everyone is welcome, bring your friends!  See you then!

Our last 5th Sunday of 2009 will be NEXT SUNDAY, November 29 at 9am.

For this 5th Sunday we are asking folks to bring non-perishable - yet tasty - food to the Bridge Building (141 Riverfront Plaza), or you can give money toward groceries beforehand and we'll do the shopping for you!

Then on the 29th, we'll all gather at the Bridge Building and divide the food up in boxes and deliver them to folks in town who could use some help.

Afterward, I'd love for us to have a pot luck lunch at the B2 (Bridge Building).

CHANGE
WE WILL MEET AT THE BRIDGE BUILDING 141 Riverfront Plaza at 9am and NOT at  the high school parking lot.

FYI - on Sunday, November 29, there will
NO worship service at Allegan High School at 10:30am.

On December 19 will be the 2nd annual Bridge Christmas Party at the DeKryger's house! 

Last year's Christmas party was a great time and it was the beginning of many great relationships at the Bridge - it was the first time many of us had a chance to just hang out and get to know each other and this year's party promises to be another great time! 

Please bring appetizers/ hor'dourves/finger food or a dessert.  Drinks will be provided.

See you there!
