ManDay — August 15


ManDay 2026 is locked in for Sat., Aug. 15, at 9:00am! Come hang out, eat a complimentary breakfast, and hear from our speaker, Pastor Joshua Smith! Afterward you’re invited to join an activity of your choice: golf, hiking, axe throwing, target shooting, escape room, pickleball, or bowling. Registration is open now through Aug. 8 and is mandatory for everyone (even if you are only coming for the free breakfast) so we can get an accurate headcount for food and bookings.

THIS WEEK'S MESSAGE

Rest

Speaker: Pastor Dan Stockum

Scripture Focus: Hebrews 4:1-11

We might take vacations, we might sleep well enough, and we might schedule activities we enjoy apart from work, but even so, "rest" may elude us. For some reason, we always feel pressed, anxious, and behind. Is this the life God has for us? Or has He made true "rest" possible? This week, we will study the rest God makes available and how we can step into it. 

NEWS AND EVENTS

Membership: It’s Not For You (It’s for the Community)

Register today for our next Membership Intro Meeting, “It’s Not For You (It’s for the Community)”, led by Pastor Dan. Join us right after the worship service on Sun., Aug. 30, and hear about the meaning of membership at Bridges! Lunch will be provided and childcare is available, but you must register by August 26.

Los Altos Christian School News

Join Mrs. Ng's last art class this summer! Students who have completed 4th grade and up are invited to join the final class on 8/4 from 10:00am to 12:00pm at LACS. The cost is $80.

LACS is looking for part-time Christian volleyball and basketball coaches for the upcoming school year. This is a part-time position with the potential to expand into an Athletics Director role for the right candidate.

Monthly Giving Report as of June 30, 2026

Giving for General Fund and NEXT85 will be monthly with data through the prior month end. The change simplifies the work for our team and gives time to provide reporting on both our General Fund Operations and NEXT85 program. Giving comes in several forms and needs to be sorted out appropriately with enough time to provide accurate information. Thank you for giving to the Kingdom work here at Bridges.
