THIS WEEK'S MESSAGE

 

Feeding the 5,000

 

Speaker: Pastor Dan Stockum

Series: Miracles

Scripture Focus: John 6:1-15

In one of Jesus’ more famous miracles, He feeds over 5,000 people with five loaves of bread and two fish. While this account may be familiar for many of us, what does it mean for our lives or what Jesus still plans to accomplish in the world? This week, we will see how the miracle speaks to current needs and what our role can be in solving them.

Brides Office Closed Tomorrow

Anew — November 21

Adult singles are invited to the Anew Life Group, which meets one Saturday each month from 5:30-8:00pm at Bridges. Through examining the Bible, sharing of testimonies, and small group discussions, we grow our faith in Christ and learn to apply Biblical principles to our daily lives.

LACS Camps — November 23-25

While some schools have the entire week of Thanksgiving off, many parents still need to work. That's why LACS is offering two fun options to keep kids busy: full day Thanksgiving Camp for TK - 8th grade, and half day Basketball Camp for grades 3–8. Both camps will meet November 23-25, right here on campus, and they're open to everyone! Tell a friend and register today.

Monthly Giving Report as of September 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.
