This Sunday at The Bridge was amazing!  Our guest artist was reggae singer, Junior Tucker. He came in town for a pastor’s surprise birthday party, which was the reason I didn’t want us to put his name out.  He did an amazing job.  Some of the people already knew him, which was cool.  We closed out our God in 3D series with Dark Knight.  I got great feedback about the message.  I definitely think we’ll do God in 3D again or at least something like it. We had our highest recorded attendance this Sunday! Our attendance has continued to grow during the summer.  Before the summer began, I was ready to accept the fact that our attendance would dip.  Keith Battle, Senior Pastor of Zion Church, challenged me to keep the momentum going during the summer.  He told me we need to make people anxious about coming to church, even though it is summer.  I then said to him, “What about people that are traveling during the summer.”  He then said, “Well, they’ll come back anyway.  Keep the momentum going.”

Tons of people signed up for Life Groups this week.  Those who signed up for Life Groups got a free “Going Green“ reusable shopping bag.  This Sunday kicked off the Green Line’s “Go Green” campaign.  We are encouraging people to “go green” by joining a small group.  At The Bridge, the Green Line consists of environments where individuals grow.  These include Life Groups (our main small groups), Starting Point (a conversational group about things of the Christian Faith courtesy of North Point), and Fuel (which will be bible study sessions that will meet Life Groups aren’t in session).   We also gave away tons of H20 water.  There’s also an excitement in the air about Expression Live, our outreach event this Saturday.  Please remember us in your prayers!
