SUNDAY, JANUARY 21
This coming Sunday we will be continuing our current sermon series on The Bridge's mission statement.
In an age of social media where our lives are on display for all to see, what does it mean to live a life “hidden with Christ in God.” Join us as we cut through the surrealism of our outward ‘profile' to explore the inwardness of who we really are. Our text will be Col 3:1-4.
NEW SERMON SERIES & BAPTISM!
This coming Sunday, January 14, we will begin a sermon series looking at the mission of The Bridge: “Creating and nurturing spaces of connection with God, each other, and neighbour.” This week we will look at the primary way we connect with God—prayer. Join us as we reflect on making 2018 a year of prayer!
Also this Sunday, we will be celebrating the baptism of Claire Elizabeth Nagtegaal, daughter of Michael (Gino) and Maria and sister to Sophia and Naomi!
Join us on this celebration Sunday!
NEW YEAR'S EVE SUNDAY!
This Sunday (New Year's Eve) we will be reflecting on the year that was and looking forward to the one to come! Come on out for an informal service of reflection sharing on the past year.
CHRISTMAS EVE SERVICES
Christmas is almost here! Come on out this Sunday (Christmas Eve!) as we celebrate the Christmas Story! In the morning service (10:00am) we will be reflecting on the birth of Jesus into the busy first-century world, and what this means for our uber-busy 21st century world!
Then join us in the evening, at 5:30pm, for a Christmas Eve Candlelight Service of Carols and Christmas Readings!
SUNDAY DECEMBER 17
Join us on Sunday as we celebrate a baptism and continue with our Advent sermon series!
This Sunday we will be looking at Luke 2:21-40, the story of Simeon and Anna. In this story the plan for Jesus' life is already forecasted, it is one that will bring joy to the world but also one that will strike our very heart—a paradox indeed!
Also, this Sunday as we also celebrate the baptism of Aaron Jamie Hlady, son of Miriam and Jamie and brother to Eli and Asher!
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 10
This coming Sunday we will be continuing our current Advent sermon series "People Of The Plan." This Sunday we will take a closer look at Mary: ln Luke 1:26-38 we read the story of the angel Gabriel visiting Mary and announcing the amazing role she is to play in the coming of Jesus into the world. In this story we see how God chooses, fulfills, and enable his plan within the world, and we also witness Mary’s humble and willing response to God’s call in her life. Join us as we reflect on this grace filled back-and-forth discussion between Mary and the angel!
PASTOR GEORGE!
The Bridge Community Church is thrilled to announce that Pastor George, along with his wife Kim, have accepted a call for George to serve in a permanent position as pastor at The Bridge! Pastor George has been serving as a part time pastor at The Bridge since September.
Check out the "ABOUT US" section of the website for George's bio!
WELCOME GEORGE AND KIM!!!
ADVENT SERMON SERIES: PEOPLE OF THE PLAN
This coming Sunday we will be beginning a new sermon series for advent titled "PEOPLE OF THE PLAN."
In Luke 1:5-25, the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth, we see God at work on two stages: He is at work on the cosmic stage, renewing his plan of salvation for the world, and he is at work on a personal level, hearing the prayer of Elizabeth. God is at work all around us accomplishing his plan. Join us this Sunday as we talk about how God is active in the world and in our lives before we may even be aware of it.
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 26
Join us this coming Sunday as Pastor George preaches on Luke 1:1-4:
GOD HAS A PLAN: The prologue to Luke’s gospel, and this sermon, is kind of a prologue to the upcoming Advent season. In this passage Luke gives us his reason for writing his gospel clear and simple—God has a plan and he wants to assure us of that. Like Theophilus, we sometimes look at the world around us and wonder where God is, or even if there is a God; but Luke wants to assure us, God has a plan, God is active, and all of this centres around Jesus Christ who has come into the world.
Hope to see you there!
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 12
Please join us this Sunday, November 12 as we welcome guest speaker Justin Napier, Chaplain at the Gateway of Hope in Langley! Justin's message is titled "The Sheer Silence" and the scripture will be from Matthew 5:3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Hope to see you there!
NEW SERMON SERIES AND UPCOMING NEIGHBOURHOOD DINNER!
This week Pastor George will begin a three-week sermon series entitled, “Holy Habits of Life.” We all have a vision in our mind of what we think the 'good life' looks like, but the power of this vision may be stronger than we think, shaping us in ways we don’t even realize. Join us this week as we look at Philippians 1:3-11 and ask the question, “What do you want?”
ALSO, this Monday, October 23, we will be hosting our monthly neighbourhood dinner! Rain or shine, we are going to fire up the barbecues one more time and cook up some delicious chilli dogs! Join us for some good food and fellowship with our nneighbours!
THANKSGIVING!
Come join us this Sunday, Oct. 8, as we celebrate Thanksgiving! Our service will include an open time of sharing what we are thankful for, as well as a message from Psalm 116, “Living Our Thanksgiving.”
NEW SERMON SERIES AND BARBECUE THIS SUNDAY!
Join us this week as we begin a new sermon series, “Who is God, Who am I?” This week we are going to look at the very first thing we learn about God in the Bible, that he is a creating God, and if God is a creating God what then does this say about me?
We will also be having a BBQ after the service so please come and join us for a time of worship and community!

In a constantly changing and ultra competitive world, what does it mean to live a calm and content life?
