December 29th is our Sabbath Sunday, when we will worship from home instead of gathering for our usual services. We hope this Sabbath Sunday guide will equip you reflect on the old year, and invite God into the year to come as you worship from home this weekend.
During services on December 15th, members of the BP Family were privileged to witness and celebrate the baptisms of Brian and Leah as they expressed their faith and commitment to following Jesus. Join us in celebrating by reading their baptism stories and praying for their journey as disciples.
On Sunday, November 17, we celebrated the commitment of six families to raise their children to know and love Jesus. It’s a special moment in their families, and for all of us in our BP Family as well. Celebrate with us and pray for these parents and their children!
On Sunday, November 10th, BridgePointe said goodbye to one of our Shepherds, Dave Halligan. Dave and his wife, Pam, have served in various roles over the last couple of years, caring for our BP family. Over the summer, they sensed that God was calling them to care for the spiritual walk of their children and grandchildren in a new way. In obedience to this, Dave and Pam moved to Oregon to support their family and be a gospel influence for them. Read our blog post for more…
This fall has been one of energy and growth for the student ministry at BridgePointe: we had our largest student event with 85 students attending Flannel Fest, and our largest mid-week gathering a couple of weeks ago with 74 students in attendance! Watching God at work among our youth has been truly inspiring, and we’re excited to share some updates and opportunities with you.
We invite you to use the season of Lent as an opportunity to slow down, reflect, and shift our focus from the lesser things to be more mindful of the greater things of God. We celebrated the first day of Lent with “Into the Wilderness” a self-guided experience of prayer and reflection. Whether you were able to attend or not, you can find an online version of the experience in this blog post.
As we continue in our 40 Days in John together, we have reached our second day of fasting and prayer. For this Wednesday and the remaining Wednesdays of Lent our intentions will include a prayer point for each of the following:
Here are the prayer points for Day 13, February 28
If you are joining BridgePointe in fasting on Wednesdays this Lent, we will be posting weekly prayer intentions that we can pray for as a church. Each week the prayer focus will be related to last Sunday's message (in this case Jesus the Messiah).
With the pace and chaos of life, it is easy for even the most important things to sneak up on us. Maybe you’ve experienced this with an anniversary, birthday, holiday or big appointment. You knew it was coming, but you still weren’t ready for it. The problem is that these moments might lose significance without anticipation and preparation.
