I must admit. I was NOT a fan of the SpongeBob craze a few years ago. All the SpongeBob paraphernalia turned me off. Never watched him. Well, I didn’t have cable so I didn’t have much of a choice. I wrote him off as another annoying Barney. I used to make fun of him stating [...]

I am just getting around to reading The Volunteer Revolution by Bill Hybels. It is causing me to reflect on the volunteers that work relentlessly every week at The Bridge. We couldn’t do what we do without the sacrifice of our volunteers. Volunteers, may God continue to bless you guys tremendously!

According to Box Office Mojo, I Am Legend pulled in over $76.5 million this weekend. I made sure I purchased our tickets early. We kicked off our two-part I Am Legend series today. Most of the people that came hadn’t seen the movie. No one from our team had seen the movie. After the message [...]

At the end of some of our key message series, we are seeking to give something to our attendees as a reminder of what they’ve learned. Thus far, we have given away magnets, bath salts, and bookmarks. Because we are a brand new church plant, our giveaways have to be pretty inexpensive. Spending $50 on [...]

Our men’s small group hit the streets of Washington DC last night to feed homeless people. We went out with a ministry called Rebound. We basically gave out small bags of food and showed the love of Christ. Rebound has been feeding the homeless for the seven years. We started giving out food after 10:00pm. [...]
