Karina, Eden & Sarah lead us through our first service of the new year. It is both special and difficult. We are mindful of the honest hope we have in Jesus, and we take some time to make room for our experience of loss and remember a special member of our community, Paul Redekopp, who died suddenly this past week. We are grateful to be in community with all of you.

This one has too many people who lent their voices and participation to name, but boy was it fun! We did our last advent reading and lighting together, had a special communion service, a completely accurate retelling of the Christmas story with a cast of many (come for the Christ child but stay for the sheep who steal the show!), and a timely word and benediction for all of us who are part of the Bridge family. A Happy and Honest Christmas to all!
