Thursday evening girls club walked through all the steps of Jesus and his death on the cross to cover our sins. On the last cube pictured below.. I asked the girls what they thought about the pictures. praying, bible, then what did the hands describe. "A" answered.. "its like the Bridge, it feels like home."

May our relationship with Jesus be so bright & welcoming that others can find "home" a safe place to heal and grow in their own relationship with Jesus.

Ever wonder when the bridge closes for holidays and weather closing? We follow the Ephrata school district’s schedule! So if the Ephrata school districts close we close.

Tonight we are OPEN for our usual middle school/high school night as Ephrata still has school today!

We will however be CLOSED tomorrow (Wednesday) and Thursday this week! Please let us know if you have any questions and have a blessed Thanksgiving!

We will be serving breakfast from 9-11am tomorrow (October 14th) in our building! The clothing trailer unfortunately won’t be able to come now due to the rain forecast, but you’re still welcome to stop by and eat breakfast with us!

Reminder, our free breakfast and clothing event is approaching! This Saturday 9-11am in our building!

Thursday evenings are designed for girls in 4th-7th grades. Taylor is a junior volunteer this year and what a blessing she is, especially when homework needs to be finished! We are exploring ways to worship God this month. Music, prayer and and upcoming evening exploring the beauty of flowers is a sneek peek of our evenings.

Save the Date!

We hope everyone had an awesome summer break and enjoy the start of school!

We take the month off as we are typically not as full in the summer, to give our staff time for vacation/family time before the school year starts in September! We look forward to seeing you all September.

Came home from vacation to a stack of packages on my doorstep! All from generous people who purchased stuff from our Amazon Wish List! Thank you all so much for your support ❤️

We have updated our Amazon Wish List for those who want to see something and buy it for The Bridge! These things will be used across our nights as tools for sports, activities and crafts as we interact with the youth. Thank you all for your prayers and support!
