In a perfect world, we would see everything clearly.  In a perfect world we wouldn't make mistakes or live with regrets.  In a perfect world...

Unfortunately the world we live in is anything but perfect.

Ever been at the edge of a life-changing decision and wished there was someone you could ask advice from?  Maybe someone who had been down the same road, faced the same obstacle, stood at a similar crossroads in life?  What if while standing at the crossroad you had the benefit of someone else's insight?

Maybe you're just one insight away from healing, from restoration, from making a life altering decision.  Join us on Sunday mornings in August as we gain INsight from each other.

Immediately following each morning service, there will be a “10 Minute Party” in the Rock Wall with staff. This time is designed for anyone who hasn’t ever met the Pastors. So, if you are newer to C3 and would like to take a minute to stop by and say “hi” to a Pastor, see them at the Rock Wall any Sunday right after church.

At Crossbridge we believe that the Bible is our guide for daily living. Women only Bible studies are currently offered twice a year. These provide opportunity for personal growth, group interaction and prayer support. The current format used is a video series accompanied by student workbook. Registration for the fall session begins Sunday August 17 and will continue through August 31 at the Info Center. We will be doing Beth Moore's series "Living Beyond Yourself"; a study on the fruits of the Spirit. Your $20.00 registration covers your workbook, tax and shipping. This will be held at the Ameriprise Financial Services offices at 3516-C Stellhorn Road. The series will be offered Wednesdays at 7:00 pm beginning Sept. 10 and concluding Nov. 12. If you have never done a study like this, you can check out both a sample workbook page and a sample presentation at www.lifeway.org and follow the Beth Moore Resources link.

August 10th was Bridge Kids' annual BK Blast.  A last day of summer fun before school!  Kids K-5th grades spent time playing Sharks and Minnows, racing to melt ice cubes, and dousing each other with water balloons and shooters. The younger kids played in wading pools, drew with sidewalk chalk, and had fun with bubbles.  Everyone enjoyed popsicles!  It was a great day for the kids.  Check out pictures here.

Martin Akoto is the child that Bridge Kids sponsors through the Rafiki Foundation.  August 31st is Martin’s 8th birthday.
