Elementary students! Join us this summer at Kamp Kindle, June 23-27, 2:00-5:15pm daily at Bridges. This awesome week is Bible camp meets special interest camp, offering separate tracks for ages 6-11 (kids entering 1st grade through outgoing 5th graders) in basketball, table tennis, cooking, and “Makers” — a combo of art and woodworking. Kamp Kindle aims to encourage, equip, and support young hearts and minds to pursue God and the interests He has placed in them. For info and to register, visit bridges.church/kampkindle.
We are also looking for adults and teens to help in all areas to help make Kamp Kindle a success—snack, Makers, cooking, table tennis, and registration. Sign up HERE or email kathy@bridges.church for more information.

Speaker: Pastor Steve Durand
Series: The Gift of Relationships
Scripture Focus: Ruth 4
| | The book of Ruth began with famine, displacement, loss, bitterness, and bleak prospects for the future. But in Ruth 4, God does what only God can do: He graciously steps into ordinary faithfulness, risky obedience, and broken places, and He writes a better ending than anyone could have ever expected. Join us this week as we conclude our sermon series in Ruth and rediscover how God’s redeeming grace can transform even our darkest chapters into stories of hope and new beginnings. | | Thanks for a Great Summer Kick-Off! | | Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the Summer Kick-Off Potluck so special! A big thanks to all who brought a dish to share, helped with preparations, and stayed to clean up. Your behind-the-scenes service was a beautiful reflection of Christ’s love and made the day truly memorable. A shout-out to our amazing grill team and setup crew! Your joyful service was a powerful reminder of how we support and love one another as a Bridges family. We’re excited for all the summer camps and events ahead—and we can’t wait to see what God has in store! | |
Let the Evidence Speak — June 13
| | Our next event will be online via Zoom on Fri., June 13, at 7:00pm. A Christian OB/GYN will address problems associated with current medical treatments of patients suffering from gender dysphoria, which is the belief that you were assigned the wrong gender at birth. In the last ten years the number of patients suffering from this ailment has increased drastically, especially among children and adolescents. Here is the Zoom link. For more information, call Kirby Hansen: (650) 917-9107. | | Collecting Bridges History | | This year marks the 85th anniversary of Bridges/FBCLA!
