Happy Friday Bridge Family!  

When we hang out on Sunday it will be October 1st!  Where does the time go?  God only knows as we’re learning through the study in Genesis.  

In October we’ll be kicking off several mid-week gathering opportunities.  Life Groups will launch on October 15th and there will be opportunities to sign up in person and online.  Life Groups are an intentional, yet casual meeting during the week, focusing on building relationships and growing through discussion of Sunday’s teaching.

There will also be a Women’s Bible Study kicking off on October 19th!  Karen Grove will be leading an eight week study in the book Remember Your Joy on Thursday nights from 6:30-8pm at the Bridge.  Sign up at Connect Corner on Sunday or online at the link below.

Adults and kids (parents- remind the kids!): this Sunday we start the Adults vs. Kids Penny Drive to raise money for the Community Toy Store.  Coins will fund the purchase of gifts for the store which sells to the low-income families in the community for 75% off retail price right before Christmas.  Each Sunday in October we will be collecting pennies in separate containers for the kids and the adults.  The most pennies wins an ice cream sundae party hosted by the other team!

Dear Bridge Family!  

Last week’s message on humility was really good and I can’t wait to hear what God has for us in Philippians 2:19-30.

Hi Bridge family!

Spring is here! As the world transforms around us - may our hearts be transforming to be more like His. We are starting a new sermon series this week, exploring the rhythms of the early church, described in Acts. It’s a great time to get plugged into a Life Group if you haven’t yet to go deeper into the message, grow your heart and be plugged into a community. See the Life Group page here for current Life Group meeting times.

We have some updates from the Bellingham High School Community Partnership. There are three months left of the school year and multiple ways to bless the teachers, staff and students. In addition to the events coming up in April shows below, we need help putting together appreciation gifts for the six members of the custodial staff at BHS. Please contact Sue Fawcett on Sunday or respond to this email to help with this project or the meals listed below!
