Through the main doors where we met, Anthony "T" shared an encouraging message about Godly friendships.


 

T's message was challenged us all to consider what our friendships look like. He reminded us that REAL FRIENDS: Bear each other's burdens, keep it real, sharpen one another and make you better!




Join us next Friday night for Part 3 of our REAL LOVE series, as we will learn about godly dating!

***TIME OUT: BRIDGE PRAYER-  Postponed until Friday, August 5th @ 6:00pm***

FRIDAY NIGHT RECAP: REAL LOVE (THE APPLE OF HIS EYE)


Our welcome sign. We had greeters at the first doors you walk into, to say HELLO to everyone, give a handshake and a smile. They also encouraged folks to sign in at the welcome table and get a name tag. 


We have a great team of folks leaving for INDIA on a short term missions trip this Wednesday. Let's keep them in prayer. A few of our Bridge friends are going: Arlen, Jessica, Thomas, Drew and Jade. 




Justin (one of the leaders) always brings a good energy to the announcements! He's really funny too.


We had a great turn out on Friday night.



T gave a special message to start this new series, that had a focus on God's love. It says in 1 John 4:19, "We love Him because He first loved us." He gave three points to his message:

1. In the Beginning was Love (Real love Begins with God)
2. Time for Some Action (Real Love is a Choice) 
3. Love Hurts (Real Love is a Sacrifice)



We also had a fabulous spread of food: pizza, tacos, donuts, chicken fajitas, stroganoff AND smores! YUM! 




Join us NEXT WEEK as we continue our series on REAL LOVE...

God has says to “call out to HIM” and this is what we do on the 1st and 3rd Friday of every month, so come and gather with us in the Jr. High office as we pray for the needs of the ministry and the people of the Bridge. We will also be thanking God for the praise reports so when the Lord answers your prayers, let us know so we can give glory to God!
