It’s that time of the year when we sit down and reflect on all that has happened, and pray about all that we would like to do in order to move forward with the King’s business on this earth. We celebrate what God has done, but we are prayerful about all that He has yet to do in us, through us, and with the world around us.

We’ll gather for an early dinner at 4:30 in the Fellowship Hall, followed by the business session afterwards. This year will be radically different from last year’s experiment, and we hope to inform you about happenings, and dream together about our goals for the future. As always, new members will be approved and departing members will be dismissed, but our focus and passion will be on taking the Gospel to the ends of the Earth. Some interesting and exciting developments will be announced and discussed, and of course- a budget will be approved. Child Care will be provided so that all moms and dads can participate undistracted, and our entire meeting will end around 8:30 so that everyone can get kiddos home and into bed.

So be sure to mark your calendars, and if you have any pictures from happenings from the past year then please email them to me at kylagleason@aol.com so that I can include them in the Year-In-Revew video presentation.

(Note: The Annual Great Commission Meeting is an open meeting, and we welcome non-members of the Bridge to attend)

Bridge Baptist Church will have a booth at the upcoming Children’s Art Festival…and by “booth” we mean bounce house, and by bounce house we mean a giant inflatable Wall-e for you to enjoy. But prior to going for a bounce, Wall-e needs help beautifying the Earth!! So join us in painting a mural of a clean Earth for Wall-e to enjoy and learn to make crepe-paper flowers, then take a jump in a very happy Wall-e!!

The Children’s Art Festival is hosted by the Kamloops Arts Council and will be held at Riverside Park on September 18 from 11 am to 4 pm.  Admission is free and arts workshops and entertainers will abound!!

Church, if you’re interested in volunteering for this event, please contact me at kylagleason@aol.com.

More information about the event can be obtained from the Kamloops Arts Council.

Join us Friday night at 6:30 for a time of friends and food! Enjoy dessert, appies, tea, or a full meal–its your choice. Grab a friend and  come enjoy a night out with some great company! This month we’ll meet at ABC Country Restaurant on the 27th.  Call me if you have any questions: 250-828-2512.

See you there!

Join us for a good time of worshipping God, hanging out, and having a picnic at Prince Charles Park on Columbia Sunday, August 15th at 10:30 AM.

Date Change! Logan Lake Kid’s Club will now be held July 5-9…more details: http://thebridgekamloops.com/kids-clubs/logan-lake

Volunteering on Canada Day is a long-standing tradition for Bridge Church! Although we won’t be passing out water bottles this year, we will still be volunteering in a variety of capacities in Kamloops, and potentially in Logan Lake too.  This will include both the evening before Canada Day, June 30, and Canada Day itself.  We will be partnering with other community organizations.  This is a fantastic way to connect with people, serve our community, and demonstrate the love of Christ to those outside the walls of our church.  Talk to your Life Group leaders for more details about these opportunities, and let us know if you’ll be able to give a few hours of your time during this holiday!

I need your help!  Decorations, name tags, signs, crafts, class rosters & schedules, and probably more items, all need to be prepared before our two July Kid’s Clubs! Will you join me Monday, June 28 at 10:00 to work on these? As we learned from last summer’s water bottle label mix-up, the more hands we have, the quicker it will all go-and the more fun we’ll have as we work on it together!!  We’ll meet in the fellowship hall at 10:00 and break for pizza around noon, then press on to wrap it all up early afternoon. Even if you won’t be able to be around to help with Kid’s Club, this will be a fantastic way to contribute to these two events!

The Ganton Life Group would like to invite you to join them on June 12 for their Car Care Clinic.  This will be held on our back parking lot from 11-3 and include free car care advice, hot dogs, and bounce houses. Tell your friends! More volunteers are also needed.  Speak to Clay or Carolyn for more information, or to volunteer today!

Mark your calendars today!  Our Logan Lake Kid’s Club will be July 12-16.  This year, our annual VBS-style kid’s day camp will be held in the Vandean home again at 144 Jasper.  Sign-up today!!

Monday, April 20, prior to the Vandean Life Group, we will have a meeting for information and planning regarding this summer’s Logan Lake Kid’s Club. (The meeting will be at the Vandean home in Logan Lake.)  We are in need of all kinds of volunteers: ones to work with children, decorate, lead classes, adminstration-your skills can be put to use for God’s Kingdom through Kid’s Club!  Anyone who has the slightest interest is encouraged to attend.   Send me an email if you’d like more information or aren’t going to make it to the meeting!
