Just got back from our Introduction to The Bridge! This was our first public presentation of what we are doing. It went great - there were 78 people attending and good response from everyone. We found areas to improve upon at the next meeting on June 28th and look forward to more people attending at the next. We had a great group of people helping put this together. God is good!
Our focus in our weekend services will be on the new person, but not to the exclusion of being relevant to the regular attender as well. Our goal is for the regular attender to be focused on reaching the new person as well - our motto for the services for our members is "It is not about you!" Our community groups will be about the followers of Christ and their growth.
Our single biggest need right now is obtaining a location. We have an agreement for a lease for unit 17 (10,080 sq ft) in Carman Plaza on Corunna Rd @ I-75. This location meets all the criteria we have set for our desired location. We need to raise the money necessary to lock up this lease. Right now we need $11,000 to pay the deposit and rent to take us through Nov. We are trusting God to provide this through His people or provide for us in another manner.
I am excited about the future for The Bridge! Pray for us as we move forward. I want to thank God for His provision.
