Hey guys,
I wanted to check in with you all after the end of our 3 seek series on Habakkuk "When God Seems Unfair". I hope insight has come upon you as it has me. I have grown in my faith sharing these words with you all. I was wondering if some of you would share an "In The Dip" experience in your faith journey. I think there are people coming in to check out our church and I think hearing from a few of you would be helpful to them.
Thanks,
Rob

"Where are you, God?"
Ever asked God this question? Be honest, I know I have. Ever thought God was unfair? Be honest, I know I have.
Well this 3 week series will look at those tough questions through the filter of an Old Testament Prophet, Habakkuk. Three short chapters, three weeks, Three stages of our walk with God. If you are walking through what has been called "The Dark Night of the Soul" this series is for you.
Feel free to post questions, comments or share your lonely moments when God seems to have gone silent.

Still working on Site!
Hey guys,
We are getting close to finishing the site. I am really looking forward to communicating all that we do at The Bridge to a larger audience. The journey has just begun for our church. I feel very blessed to have the space we have and to know that I have a great core group surrounding me and Lisa as we step forward into the future.
I invite all of you to post on the state of where we are and to keep praying over your place on the bridge! And don't forget to keep investing and inviting!
See you all Sunday!
