End of Summer Picnic and Baptisms
 We're having a pot luck picnic 2pm August 22, to celebrate the end of another great summer! We'll be at the DeKryger's house on Minor Lake so there will be swimming for the kids (and adults) and other fun yard games, a trampoline, and swing set complements of the DeKrygers.
We may even see if Fat Mike's BBQ might be willing to cater with some of his pulled pork sandwiches...we'll let you know in the next week or so.
We'll also be celebrating more baptisms that day so if you're interested in getting baptized please get a hold of me at roger@thebridgeinallegan.com.

5th Sunday - August 29
For our upcoming 5th Sunday we are going to provide backpacks filled with school supplies for elementary kids in Allegan.
The Bridge will provide the backpacks and we are asking Bridge folks to provide the school supplies. Here is what each student needs for school:
-
Crayola crayons
-
Colored pencils
-
No. 2 pencils
-
pencil top erasers
-
glue sticks
-
school scissors
-
spiral notebooks
In addition, we would like to provide the
elementary teachers with kleenex, hand sanitizer, etc. for their
classrooms. Classroom supply needs:
-
Facial tissue
-
Disinfecting wipes
-
Hand sanitizer
We'd also like to save and bring in "Box Tops for
schools". They are found on a variety of food items like General Mills
cereal, Betty Crocker brownies, and Pilsbury crescent rolls. Deb Dalm
will be putting out a container to collect these. They can be used to
help provide milk for students in need.
We'll also have goodie bags with some baked goods for the families of the kids and, hopefully, some children's medicines provided by Perrigo.
PLEASE NOTE: This 5th Sunday we will be meeting at ALLEGAN HIGH SCHOOL (NOT at the Bridge Building) at 9am to sort the supplies and pack the backpacks and then we will go out in groups to deliver them.

What is the Bridge?
The Bridge is a church in Allegan, Michigan that
is for the beaten-up, the burned-out, and the just plain bored. If you spend time with us, you will hear that a
lot - it is a central idea of how we want to interact with the community
around us.
We want to be a place that
reflects the love of Jesus. Everyone is welcome, with
no prerequisites of church background or prior belief. Bring your faith
and your doubt, your joy and your tears, your praise and your
selfishness. We're not perfect, but we'll love you as best as we can.

Thanks for supporting the
Bridge! Let us know if we can help you in any way.
