Some of that has certainly been scary and I think everyone knows exactly what I'm talking about. But not all these changes have been negative. Despite all that's going on in the world. There's a lot to celebrate the Lord for he is a lot to be hopeful fourth has a lot to look forward to write for instance because of your generosity our church we bet we were able to baptize for people this year that was back in October. We've been able to partner with us a local organization called the the Women's Center and they care for the ladies who are marginalized and I City do you still need help because they're homeless or there's some type of home abuse happen if I think something like that, but they help out the ladies the ladies who are marginalized and not only that but we've been able to reach hundreds. If not thousands at this at this point electronically. What is doing our online services do social media platforms and and other means we've been able to minister. 200 if not thousands of people at this point and all that was made possible because of your generosity. And so if you want to help us to continue to grow to continue to fulfill our mission going into the 2021 Ministry year, we encourage you to make a year in gift by going to bridge Fellowship Church. Calm and click the giving but thank you for all that. You do to support this church and our community. We appreciate you guys Christmas is literally just around the corner this year were having a candlelight service in so we are inviting everyone who feels comfortable and everyone who wants to partake of this event to come out and to worship our Lord and savior to worship Jesus the Messiah with us service is going to be on 24th December. That's December 24th, and we're going to start at 6 p.m. We're going to sing some worship songs to Jesus. and we're also going to hear an inspiring christ-centered message from the Bible and so if you are available we would love for you to come also you should be receiving these invite cards if you will these little small to buy two cards to use these to invite people to come to church you can use this for our candlelight service or any other service that you want to bite people to but the point is we want to be intentional with inviting people because we believe that the gospel is the only thing that has power to bring dead men and women to live is the only thing that has power to save and so if you would go ahead and be as bold and as trusting at it as to invite people and bring them with for our Christmas service candlelight service that would be greatly appreciated you know I spoke earlier about our mission and our vision right eye vision being to reach 1% of South rolly with the gospel what we know that we can have the best plans we can have the best price So we can have all the the budget money that we need towards that but unless the Lord moves is not going to happen. And so that's why we spend every Wednesday morning the first part of the morning from 6 a.m. Until 6:20 praying for those who are lost praying for those who are lost tooth to the gospel to respond to praying for opportunities for us to share the gospel with these individuals.
