Speakers: Kacey Schofield & Pastor Dan Stockum
Series: This is My Story

| | We have probably all had seasons of tremendous difficultly where we suffered a loss, faced a crisis, or everything in front of us felt uncertain. But have we reflected back on the role of friends within those challenging times? The benefit of their presence versus the pain of their absence? This week, we will study our need for supportive friends, where we can begin to look for them, and we can be such friends for others. | | Bridges Office Closed July 7 | | Please note that the Bridges office will be closed on Mon., July 7, in observance of Independence Day. | | Have you been thinking about getting baptized, or want to learn more about what it means to take that step in your faith? We will be holding baptisms at Bridges on Sun., July 27, and at our Beach Worship Service on Sun., Aug. 3 (in the ocean!).
