After a few delays, a few tense moments and a whole lot of prayer, we are set to close on the purchase of our new building this Friday! To be honest with you, it seems a bit dream-like to actually be days away from taking possession of a 44,788 square foot building on over 7 acres of land. I'm fairly certain I'll be jolted into a fully awakened state when the first payment on this $1.1 million transaction purchase comes due!
But it will be worth it! To have our own facility with all the room we will need and our very own parking lot, not to mention sufficient restrooms, will be wonderful, indeed. Knowing that the gospel is going to sound forth from this place and lives are going to be transformed will make every prayer, every monetary gift and every bit of labor completely worthwhile.
I can't thank you enough for the way in which, you the friends and members of The Bridge have stepped up to help make this happen. Certainly God provided the opportunity, but your response was crucial in bringing it to pass.
Open House
We don't have a lot of time to celebrate this milestone because there remains much to be done to turn this former grocery store into a church, but I do want to invite you to our very first Open House at our future home. This Sunday at 1 P.M. we are going to open the doors and give everyone a chance to see the "before" picture of what will eventually be a wonderful church facility.
We are going to provide hot dogs, soft drinks and maybe a great big cake to celebrate the securing of this amazing building. We will also take the opportunity to thank God for all He has done to make this possible and dedicate this building to Him. I know great things for the kingdom of God are going to take place in and through this site.
I hope you will join us at church Sunday at either of our two services and then make the 9 minute drive to Alexandria to our future home.
In case you haven't been to the new building and need help getting there, here are the directions.
When leaving our current facility turn right (South) on the AA Highway.
Travel 3 miles to the Cold Spring/Alexandria exit and turn right on U.S. 27.
Travel 2.5 miles on U.S. 27 and our new building is on the left, just past the Speedway and directly behind the Burger King. It's huge so you can't miss it!
The address is 7906 Alexandria Pike.
I hope you will join us for this historic event in the life of our church!
Yours for the kingdom!
Bo
