Depression Seminar

Hey,
This is a place for us to discuss our Depression Seminar comming up on April 18th. I thought we might be more prepaired next meeting if some of us could discuss the finer points of the event on this forum.

Spring Fling

so we have agreed that we shall do a Bible trivia game for the Spring Fling, now to gather ideas on how to run it exactly. if you have an idea, submit it in a comment to this blog such as, for a gift i found a book today hanging out with amanda, maria and erica after we ate valentiono's with anthony, found it at hallmark and it is called Soul Food and it gives you little verses to get you through each day, maybe that can be one of the gifts? or maybe if we can afford it we can make gift packs like cd AND book...?

Under the Overpass

I have a book to recomend to all of you that may be interested. It's called Under the Overpass and it was written by Mike Yankoski. The basic storyline is that two Christian college guys decide to test their faith by living on the streets as homeless people for 6 months. It really opens your eyes to the reality that the homeless face every day and it was great research for our project we're working on. It's a great short read. I had a really stressfull and busy couple of weeks and it still only took me a week to read it. I deffinately recomend it and if anyone wants to borrow it, I just happen to have a copy (heh-heh).

Not giving up.....

So many Christians today are being pulled in every which way and sometimes, it can be mind-boggling and fatiguing. I know it was for me. At one point in time, I almost give me and threw in my towel, but luckily, God and some good friends encouraged me not to give up and keep fighting the good fight for God. Since then, I've been praying for my brothers and sisters in Christ not to give up and not to give in. We've come to far to quit now. So this Blog is for all my brothers and sisters who thinking about giving up, don't give up and don't give in, because I'm praying for you........

Dear Bridges Group,
I am a friend of Mrs. R. You might even say an "antique friend" as I have known her since we were both in Ms. Carradine's 6th grade class! I just wanted to let you know that I am so impressed and encouraged with the outreach that you all are doing @ the homeless shelter...what a witness to the community of the love of Jesus reaching out to those who need your help. I am also thankful for your commitment to each other and your prayer ministry. I will pray for the deepening of your relationships with one another and the success of your outreach to the community you serve! God Bless you and I am looking forward to hearing more good reports about Bridges. P.S. If you want to make Mrs. R squirm a little, I have a riddle you can ask her: How does one borrow her mother's car and return it to it's original (and permanent) parking spot in the garage, without calculating any mileage on the odometer?

Spring Fling ideas for our club

Since we had so many good ideas today in our meeting for Bridges participation in the Titusville campus "Spring Fling," we concluded we needed to think and pray about what kind of fun/cool activity to do that would reflect what Bridges is all about ~ loving God, each other, our community. Elise made a great suggestion that our event be something focused on Easter, not the bunny, but Jesus and the real meaning of Easter. Please blog your ideas for what our club could do at the spring fling. Right now, the date is Thursday, April 3 - that's right before spring break begins. Usually spring fling is from about 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. or so. Whatever we decide to do, we will need club members to cover that 3-hour time span. So, blog your ideas here and discuss what you think would be cool!
