Speaker: Austin Ward
Series: This is My Story
Scripture Focus: Proverbs 3:1-12
| |
This summer, we’re hearing from our elders and various staff about how God has worked in their lives in similar ways to how He worked in the lives of people throughout biblical history. This week, we'll hear from Austin Ward, one of our elders, about how God weaved the concept of trusting in Him through many different seasons of Austin's life. | |
Pray for Our Middle Schoolers | |
MSM Summer Camp will be happening on campus next week, July 8-12! Please pray for our awesome middle school students as they begin a week of daily games, crafts, Bible study, and worship. | |
All men are invited to our annual ManDay on Sat., Aug. 17! We'll start at Bridges at 8:30am for breakfast and guest speaker Bobby Evans, former Vice President of Player Operations and General Manager of the Giants. Afterward, join a one-time activity such as golf, target shooting, hiking, bowling, or tennis/pickleball. Look out for more info coming soon! | |
It's that time of year again when our Bridges elders seek to discern God's will for new church leaders. Currently we have 7 men who will be continuing in their role as elders for the upcoming year. Our constitution allows for up to 12, so we're asking for nominations from our Bridges family. If you have someone in mind who you'd like to see considered, please email Austin Ward (austin@wardsrus.net) or Al Kruger (al@bridges.church). | |
LACS Hiring & Enrichment Program for Homeschoolers | |
Deaconesses and Deacons in Need of Volunteers | |
Bridges’ Deaconess and Deacon Boards are recruiting volunteers to join in the important mission of hearing the word and doing what it says (James 1:22) along with the combined need for faith and action (James 2:16). Our Deaconesses continually support the Bridges family in ways both seen and behind the scenes, and we hope to grow the Deacon Board to similarly serve and also partner with the Deaconesses on joint projects. Have you been looking for ways to serve with other dedicated people? Whether you’d like to send an encouraging note, visit someone in the hospital, give a ride, or something else that excites you, only sign up when you are available and in areas where you want to contribute. For details, contact Board Chairs Sujana Panthulu (sujana.panthulu@gmail.com) or Tom Hansen (twhansen@yahoo.com). | |
