Not unlike the ancient god, Janus, we look at the past to what we have experienced and ahead to what is in our future.  The past we know, the future we don't.  But trek on, we must.  I mean, what's the alternative?  I once tried total seclusion, but it didn't work for me.  Even with all the economic bad news out there, there are still some exciting things in which we can look forward. 

Which brings me to The Bridge, our church's new multi-site ministry.  It's not my intention to keep anyone out of the loop or uninformed about The Bridge, so I've been busy keeping everyone informed via E-letter, church newsletter, bulletins, MyChurch, our website www.thebridgeofhavelock.com, word of mouth, etc.

In the last two Core Group meetings we finally set a definite launch date for the weekend of 21 February.  We decided that it would be great to have an open house on the 21st and the worship time on Sunday, the next day.  A couple of weeks ago we completed a short community survey.  Renovations are being completed at the meeting site and we now have a promise for at least 100 chairs and a few tables.  So we are moving along.  After Christmas break, we are prepared to "hit the ground running" as our pastor says.  

Please help us pray for a Campus Pastor.  Securing this position will mean that we can request additional funds from our associations.  Also, pray that our city's planning board will approve this whole idea and allow us to use the facility for what we need to use it for.  

Let me take this opportunity to thank my MyChurch friends for their interest in our ministry project.  To everyone I say...HAVE A BLESSED CHRISTMAS AND A WONDERFUL NEW YEAR IN CHRIST!
