Latest from the Bridge
Dear Bridge Family and Friends,
I hope that you are having a great week. I am looking forward to speaking for the first time this year. We will look at Luke 7:36-50 and talk about Jesus Eats with the Pharisee and Prostitute! Jesus used meals to build relationships, break down barriers and share great truths with people. We need to learn from Him how we can do the same this year with our Oikos, the people God has placed in our lives to love and serve. I hope that you will join us Sunday.
Also, over the next couple of weeks there are some critical meetings for us as we begin this year. Please look below and make plans to join us for them. Your questions, input and participation are needed as we seek God’s direction for us this year.
Blessings to you,
Pastor Bill
