Day: Saturday Time of day: Morning
Location: BRIDGE Church conference room Topic: Ephesians Bible Study
Description: This study, meeting on Saturday mornings from 9:00 to 10:30 a.m., will be an in-depth look at the six chapters that make up the book of Ephesians. Paul, the author of Ephesians, wrote the letter while he was in prison. It covers many important Christian themes to include: God, the world, Jesus, the church, the means of salvation, Chirstian behavior, marriage, family, and spiritual warfare. This study will help us see the significance of our role in God's grand narrative and encourage us to live more fully as people who are lavishly loved by God. The study guide by N.T. Wright is designed to help us understand Scripture in fresh ways under the guidance of one of the world's leading New Testament scholars. Thoughtful questions, prayer suggestions, and useful background and cultural information all guide us more deeply into God's Word and allow us to discover how we can participate more fully in God's kingdom. The commentary, also written by N.T. Wright, makes use of his scholarly understanding, yet it is written in an approachable and anecdotal style. He captures the enthusiasm and sparkle of these letters. This journey will be a wonderful opportunity for the BRIDGE family to grow together in the Word.
Day: Friday Time of day: Evening
Location: Legacy's house Topic: Christian Marriage
Description: Description: Have you ever found yourself in the midst of an “intense discussion” with your spouse with no idea how you got there? Or, have you spent time praying you could better understand the emotional dynamics in your marriage? You are not alone. In this book study, we will journey through a five-step process of developing the emotional intelligence needed to stay strong and stay together. This book study includes personal inventories to help us discover where we are doing well and where we need improvement, as well as practical action steps for implementing what we’ve learned. Let’s join together to unpack all of this with lots of laughter (probably a few well-placed tears) and learning from one another’s experiences, in an encouraging, safe, non-judgmental group setting. Let’s work together for Emotionally Healthy Marriages! We meet Fridays from 6:30-8:30 p.m.

Description: Thursday Prayer Nights bring together a group of people who love Jesus and long to hear His voice. We seek to be in the presence of the Holy Spirit and bring deliverance and support to individuals, to the church, and to the community and world around us. Thursday Prayer Nights are for people who need to be ministered to and people who want to minister to others. We create an opportunity each week to experience Jesus, learn to hear His voice, gain confidence in our walk as ministers of grace, and experience the Holy Spirit through prayer and worship. We give honor to Jesus through our devotion and worship. Our mission is to set the table for Jesus and allow Him to show up as only He can. Join us as we join with Him in our meetings every Thursday at 6:30 p.m.
