Brunch at The Bridge: Ladies - Make plans to join us for brunch on Saturday, January 22 at 9 AM. This is a great opportunity to connect with friends and make new ones. RSVP through the Facebook event.

January Memory Verse:

Fliers with the monthly memory verse are now available at child check-in. Each week our Bridge Kids will work on the verse in class, but the best way to commit it to memory is practicing throughout the month. You can find a song to help here:

Children’s Ministry Updates: We are excited to use The Gospel Story for Kids curriculum beginning in 2022. Focusing on key Bible stories that highlight God’s plan of redemption, this curriculum will help our Bridge Kids see that the Bible is one story with Jesus as the hero!

Corresponding devotions to use at home throughout the week can be found in The Gospel Story Bible and Long Story Short. These are great resources to use with your kids to help them grow in their understanding of the Bible.

Find the Children's Ministry schedule HERE!

Welcome Team: Those on the Welcome Team are the first point of contact for people as they enter the building. We are looking for friendly greeters to serve once a month. Contact Nikki Fiedler if you would like to shadow and learn more.

Student Ministries: Middle and high school student ministries will resume on Sunday, January 16.

Women’s Bible Study: Imagine walking the dusty roads of Galilee with Jesus of Nazareth—braving jostling crowds just to touch the edge of His cloak and hear Him say, “Take heart, daughter, your faith has healed you.”

Those words, once meant to comfort a hurting woman’s soul thousands of years ago, were also meant for you.

Join us on Monday mornings beginning on January 10, 2022 as biblical culturalist Kristi McLelland transports us back to Jesus’ world, following in the footsteps of the women who came face-to-face with the Living God. Jesus and Women examines the historical and cultural climate of first-century Middle Eastern society to not only help us understand Jesus more deeply but to fuel our worship of Him today. Childcare is available for this study. See Natalie Runyon for details.
