​​​​​​​ANNOUNCEMENTS

 

​​​​​CONNECT & UNITE (Youth Group for 6th-8th grade {CONNECT} and 9th-12th grade {UNITE})​​

• June 14: BIKE N FEAST event for CONNECT + UNITE

  • 5:00-6:15ish

• July 24-31: UNITE El Salvador Trip

• Also, please prayerfully consider being a CONNECT or UNITE leader this coming year and on! Kira needs male/female leaders for the coming year who are willing to intentionally walk alongside students for at least the year (preferably longer, especially if they’re a leader for middle school). Two males and 2 females are needed for CONNECT, and 2 people (either male or female) for UNITE. These kids need people who care and want to spend time with them/mentor them. It is not just babysitting or chaperoning; it is ministry and discipleship! Reach out to Kira with any questions or if you are interested! We always have a good time and would love to have you join us. :^)

​​​​​​​​​Sunday Morning Announcement Form

Would you like an announcement made on a Sunday morning before or during the worship service? If so, please fill out the Sunday morning announcement form. Please submit the form by the Thursday before the Sunday you would like the announcement made, preferably earlier if possible. The form can be found here.

​

Koinonia Prayer Requests

Prayer requests on Sunday mornings at Bridge of Hope have historically been taken verbally during worship. To help make sharing requests more accessible to all, a google form has been created so that people can share requests at a different time and method than verbally on Sunday morning. Prayer requests submitted this way will be included in the email that gets sent to the body each week on either Monday or Tuesday. (Please note: Any prayer requests submitted after the Koinonia Prayer email has been sent that week will wait to be emailed out until the following week. Also, requests made here will not be verbalized on Sunday mornings by the Pastoral Shepherd leading Koinonia Prayer.) Submitting an online prayer request can be done by following this link: https://forms.gle/bryoqnHv7zjy5cyj7.
