Anew — March 22

Speaker: Pastor Dan Stockum
Series: The Upper Room
Scripture Focus: John 15:1-17
| | We all look to something to reassure ourselves in times of difficulty. Whether it be relationships, prior achievements, or current status, we all count on something to pull us through seasons of uncertainty. But Jesus claims not all of these are as dependable as we might think. In fact, He says there is only one true source of life, only one reliable anchor for our hearts. This week, we will study what Jesus taught about the nourishment our souls need and where to find it. | | Congratulations to Amy & Matt Spillar on the birth of their son, Carson Walker, born March 14. Carson weighed 5 lbs 15 oz and measured 18 inches long. He is welcomed by big brother Hunter. | | Walk for Life — Thank You! | | This past Saturday, a team of about 15 people from Bridges participated in RealOptions’ annual Walk for Life.

Thank you to all those who donated and prayed, and especially those who walked or ran at the event. | | Pray for Our Mission Partners — March 24 | | The Bridges Missions Committee will be hosting a video call on Mon., Mar. 24, 7:30-8:30pm for a time of prayer for all of our various mission partners around the world.
