Heroes of the Faith

Just wanted to take a second on this rainy Saturday morning as I wait for my last MAC graduation before retirement and THANK OUR HUNDREDS OF VOLUNTEERS who serve the LORD so faithfully at The Bridge. If you go over to the church this morning, the lawn has been mowed and weed-eated and looks great. The bathrooms are clean and carpets vacuumed. The Bridge Kids area is ready for hopefully 120-130 kids tomorrow. The music has been rehearsed. Lots of needy people in our community received financial support, prayer, and love this week. Cell homes were cleaned and folks prepared food to make our missional cells launching pads for the mission of God. Our teens were taught Bible and taught to go on mission by VOLUNTEERS. Tomorrow, hospitality folks will be up early to prepare food and drink for guests, our greeters will meet regulars and guests with a smile and a handshake, around 40-60 volunteers will put off an amazing morning of Bridge Kids (and we need 25 more as the children just keep pouring in), and our tech team will prepare to broadcast the magnificent Gospel of our Lord Jesus live to hundreds of people. Counters will have a very late lunch as they very professionally get God's money counted and deposited in the bank. Our prayer team will also have a late lunch as they pray over EVERY prayer request before they go home for a Mother's Day lunch. Volunteers have been to Jefferson County, the CSC, the county jail, and the Farmington to deliver Conquering Addiction and the hope of the Gospel to trapped people -- all this week. The entire building was constructed by the hands of volunteers. I could go on and on, and I know that I have missed somebody.

Happy Mother's Day!

Thank you and PRAISE GOD for you!!!
