Friday night was very special! We moved locations to the Fellowship Hall for this one evening, as we said farewell to Pastor Dennis and his wife Xu. They have been overseeing The Bridge fellowship for the past NINE years and are now moving in a new direction with what God has for their family.

Xu and Pastor Dennis shared 10 things to get excited about The Bridge! They included, food, fellowship, worship and hearing a message from God's Word.
After a short message of encouragement from Pastor Dennis on 2 Timothy 4:7 "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith," he called up Anthony and Stacie Madlangbayan. The Mascardos presented the Madlangbayans with a blank journal, as a symbol for the new chapter that God will write under this new leadership.
Anthony, Stacie (and their two daughters Lenya and Eden) will be the new leaders for The Bridge as of July, 2016. They were able to present a THANK YOU plaque to Pastor D and Xu for their faithfulness and dedication to the ministry the past decade. They closed in prayed and then had a huge potluck to celebrate the passing of the baton.
