This Week At The Bridge !

Prayer for the Nation

His Decision America Tour, which is a call to Christians and churches to repentance and prayer on behalf of our nation, will be in Frankfort on Wednesday May 4th from 12-1 PM. The Bridge is exploring the possibility of renting a bus to make the trip to Frankfort. If you would like to take part in this event, please sign-up at The Welcome Center in the lobby.

Volunteer Fair 

 Serving at The Bridge is fun, rewarding and a great way to meet other church members.  To learn ore about service opportunities we will have a Volunteer Fair in the lobby next Sunday, April 24th and Sunday, May 1st.  This is a great way to talk with current leaders and volunteers to discover where you can best use your gifts and talents as a valued volunteer!

 Backpack Meals for Kids

Elementary aged students in Campbell County receive 1 to 2 meals every day at school during the week, but some children are not always assured of being fed at home on the weekends.  Some elementary schools provide food items for 80 such children to take home in backpacks every Friday so that these children will have something to eat over the weekend.  Please pick up a green bag from the lobby of the church, fill it with food items and return it next week.

Reset Banquet

Please join Reset and Emcee Todd Dykes of WLWT as we celebrate a night of redemption, reconciliation and New Beginnings!  The banquet is this Tuesday, April 19th at The Gardens of Park Hills, 1622 Dixie Highway Park Hills, KY  41011.  Doors open at 6:30 pm and the program begins promptly at 7:00 pm.

Reset is a Christ-centered, voluntary program for men and women in the Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati area that desire to radically change their lives.  By providing housing, employment opportunities, healthy things to do, a sense of hope for the future and teaching truth, Reset residents can overcome their past and pursue their God-given purpose.

Big News !

It’s Done!

The long-awaited refinancing of our construction loan was completed on Tuesday.  It only took 15 months and 21 days from the time we began the process.  Our mortgage broker, a man who has been in the business of helping churches find financing for forty years, says we now hold the record for the longest time taken from first contact to closing on a church loan through his services. This is not a record we were hoping to set, but alas, we did finally close on the loan.

This means we will be able to move forward in transforming a former grocery store into our permanent church home.  And it couldn’t come soon enough!  Not only are we out of room in our current facility, but our landlord is in desperate need of the space we currently occupy!  In fact, after losing the Student Ministry room several weeks back, we will soon be losing our Crossing room (4^th-6^th grades) to our landlord’s expanding business.

We can’t complain.  It’s been almost 18 months since he told us we would need to find a new home.  He has been incredibly patient and we are very grateful.  But now that we have the financing we need, we can get moving on the renovation of our new home and hopefully be ready to make the move in a few more months.

I want to say “thank you” to everyone who has prayed for this day to come and now I ask that you join me in praying for a speedy finish to our renovation project.

Care Net Envelope Stuffing Has Been Cancelled

The printer was not able to complete the printing in time for the scheduled envelope stuffing, so if you were planning to help stuff envelopes on Thursday, please know that the event has been cancelled.  We’ll let you know if this will be rescheduled.

God bless!
