Staying in Lock-Step Motion



While we continue the pursuit of a new facility for BridgePointe, we are also ramping things up for the fall. There are lots of exciting things coming our way, to be sure. But we have to take things one step at a time. I want to make sure we are moving forward together as a church family. Here are some communication items that will help keep us in lock-step motion:

One service at 10:30 AM
This fall we will continue to have one service at 10:30 AM. This allows us to have a sustained, healthy, and positive dynamic in the worship service in a 900 seat auditorium. Our intentions are to return to 2 services when we transition to the new facility in the near future. There, we can have more control over how we assemble the worship center. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Sunday Children’s Area and Workers
Staying at one service has a big impact on our kids area and workers. To provide the best in programming, it requires the children’s volunteers to be as consistent as possible. This creates trust and familiarity in their relationship with the kids and their parents. Traditionally, our volunteers would commit to be with the kids weekly and attend one of the services when there were two services offered. One service means that our children’s workers would miss the worship service if they were to volunteer every Sunday. So, I want to thank our parents for being patient with us during our one service season, as there will be some new faces in the children’s area.  And thank you to our children’s volunteers for “making it work” during this transitional season. There is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Drivers
Starting August 5, we will need to bring 3 trailers back and forth from the Foundry to the school each Sunday. We have a large truck to do the pulling. We need men to be drivers to transport the trailers back and forth. No special license is needed. The trailers can be brought over Friday after 3 PM or on Saturday. They must be driven back after church on Sunday. Without a team of drivers will be unable to transport what is needed to conduct our church programming on Sunday. Your urgent attention is needed. Please contact Wendy Synder at the church office. (770.517.2977) or wendy.snyder@bridgepointechurch.org

Vision
August 5 will be a Vision Sunday. This is my opportunity to put some targets on the wall for this year and to cast vision for the future. There is a growing excitement about God positioning us to serve more people this year. Vision Sunday will allow me the chance to share my heart with you and to inspire our church family to recommit to the mission of BridgePointe.
