Life Changes @ Bridges
What God’s doing at Bridges and what people are saying…
• I experience God’s healing and replenishing my soul when I keep on praying in times of difficulties.
• Giving me peace in my life as I never had and never wanted. I am a Christian!
• God has opened a new door for my family of three which will help our stress level be down.
• God has a plan for me. He has mercy on me even if I have sinned against Him.
• The lessons we’ve had at BLOG have really been helping me with some problems I’m having in my life.
• God has brought more patience into my life. God has made me dedicate more time to learning sign language for my daughter.
• I am able now to move forward from my recent divorce with the great people I’ve met through Bridges. I am truly grateful to God for guiding me here when I strayed.
Friendly Parking Volunteers Needed
We need you! Help us be purposeful in greeting people by joining our parking team. We’d like an army of smiling volunteers in the parking lot so people can come and worship Christ. Email Helen Lee or call 510.651.2030 x207 for more information or to volunteer.
Food Pantry Needs
The Daily Bread Food Pantry thanks the Bridges family for helping feed approximately five families each week. Currently we need boxed potatoes and canned veggies. Please drop off in the barrels located in Building C.
Communion Prep
There is a need for volunteers to help prepare communion to serve to the congregation (usually the last Sunday of each month). For more information contact Jan Burch.
Hard Time Finding Parking?
Our main lot is frequently full. Don’t forget that we have off-site parking at Hopkins Junior High (across the street) and at both realty offices on the corners of Driscoll and Mission. Please park along the wall in these lots. Parking off-site is a great opportunity to show love to visitors and families with small children by allowing them to park closer to the church!
Campus Coordinator
Are you a detail-oriented person who likes to coordinate events and stays calm under pressure? We’re looking for someone to ensure that our services run smoothly at our Fremont campus on the first and fifth Sundays each month. The campus coordinator communicates with ministry leaders via walkie-talkies and facilitates the flow of information. For more information, email Helen Lee or call 510.651.2030 x207.
