I Can't Believe It's the middle of the Summer Already!

O.K. so, July 4th marks the middle of the summer & I can’t believe it’s here already! While you’re spending extended time with family & friends be sure to make room in your schedule for BridgePoint’s summer events! Here’s what’s up in July…

Sunday July 4th I’ll began a new 4 part message series entitled “The 180 Project: Jonah Discovers God Allows Spiritual 180’s.” Based on the book of Jonah, we’ll track Jonah’s life through “U Turns”, “Do Overs”, “2nd Chances” & “Life Recycled.” Each week there will be something special & maybe a little surprise!

The Mark 2x8 summer reading challenge continues through the month of July. BPCers are reading the Gospel of Mark twice in 8 weeks concluding on Saturday August 14. The book of Mark tells the story of Jesus in its clearest form. It’s the most uncomplicated of the Gospels & the easiest to understand. Mark records more miracles than any of the other Gospels. Challenge yourself to read through the Gospel of Mark twice by Aug 14, it’s not too late to jump in!!

CityReach is fast approaching & we want to be spiritually ready for our Biggest Outreach of the year!! On Tuesday July 13 & Wednesday July 14 we’ll be fasting & praying for CityReach & everyone is encouraged to participate in some way. And…it’s not too early to sign up to help with CityReach, just hook up with our Super Intern & CityReach Coordinator Josiah Smith!

On Sunday July 18 following the service we’ll have a FREE luncheon & everyone is invited! Ladies you’re encouraged to bring your “Blue Ribbon” dish to share with 6-8 people & Guys, you can bring a dessert or a bottle of pop. If you can’t bring something…please come anyway cuz there is ALWAYS ENOUGH to go around!

On Tuesday July 27 @ 7pm our Super Intern Josiah Smith will be leading an outreach event at Tarentum’s Skate Park down on 1st Ave. There will be food, skateboard tricks & competition as well as giveaways & prizes! Get with Josiah if you want to help out!

July is just getting rev’ed up & so are we @ BPC!!

a BPC summer has already started

O.K. so, summer officially begins on Monday June 21st but at BPC we’ve kicked things off a little early! Here’s what’s up for June…

Yesterday June 6 we held our very 1st annual “Bring a Friend Breakfast” in the lower level of the church. At 10 am it was all you could eat eggs, bacon, sausage; you know “THE works”! Afterwards Caleb led an “off the hook” time of praise & worship then Jim B. stepped to “lay down” the word of God. I’ll tell Ya, everyone was truly blessed! I’m so looking forward to our next “BaFB”!!



We also introduced another one of BPC’s summer Interns…he’s a local guy hailing out of Johnstown, PA by way of CBC-Central Bible College in Springfield, MO…Josiah Smith!! Josiah will be the “point man” for our summer outreaches to the community that will also include…CityReach! He joins Caleb Aston (worship) as our BPC “Dynamic Duo” 2010 summer interns!

Sunday June 13 is our 3rd annual “Outdoor Service & Picnic” at Tarentum’s beautiful Riverview Park down on First Street & everyone is invited. The service kicks off at 11am with awesome worship & then I’ll be delivering a message that’ll be sure to “get you going”! At Noon let the feasting begin!! BPC will provide the chicken & drinks all you gotta do is bring a side dish, salad & dessert. We’ll also have a few games for the whole family to get involved in. No sweat if it’s raining “Cats n Dogs”, we’ll meet at the church at 10am & have our svc in the sanctuary & the picnic in the lower level of the church.

On Sunday June 20 we’ll not only be honoring Dad on his special day with a “very use able” gift, special speaker Cullen Allen, Father of 3 boys and Yth Director of APC & Director of the MCM ministry school, will be with us. Cullen will preach a powerful message & also be giving us the “411” on the MCM student’s recent 2 week Mission trip to Tanzania.

To close out June 2010, Josiah will be preaching on Sunday the 27th so, you don’t want to miss that!!

Don’t wait for June 21st to begin your summer…join us at BridgePoint Church cuz the fun has already started!!
