No doubt, many of us frequently find it difficult to slow down and take a breath from the whirlwind of life.  Schedules, jobs, paying bills, raising kids, running errands, trying to get a few hours sleep (did I mention “paying bills?”).  If we’re not careful, our busy world can disconnect us from meaningful relationships with others.  And one of the most important parts of life is that it’s meant to be shared with those around us.  Thus, we need a place of connection, a place of conversation, a place of trust.

Alabaster CoG would like to invite everybody 20-40 yrs young to one of the most tremendous, life-impacting hangouts in Alabaster – The Bridge.  The Bridge is a place where we brew some good ole’ java, kick back and talk about the real nitty-gritty issues of life.  God, love, shame, marriage, forgiveness, failure, salvation, and the list is wide open… We want to discuss what’s on your heart and mind.

The Bridge offers a safe atmosphere of love and acceptance, where you can connect with those around you on this journey of life.  Whether single or married*, Christian or non-Christian, ALL are welcome to join us at The Bridge.  (please see calendar for weekly meeting times)

Peace

*Childcare is usually provided during meetings.  If you have any questions please use the comments section.

We would like to invite all young folk (ages 8-18) to our ATIK service this Sunday night at 6 pm.  I.D. is required for entrance at the door.  Otherwise, our bouncer (Joel) will give you the boot … just kidding (LOL)! No I.D. necessary. :

We know that God is calling this generation to a radical faith in Jesus Christ.  A faith that refuses just to go through religious motions; a faith that cries out to love Jesus with all that we are; a faith that moves us to action in showing love to those around us.

And in order to answer such a call, we have to grow in our relationship with God and one another.  So, we offer the ATIK as a strategic time of meeting together for tremendous worship, prayer, teaching and fellowship (key ingredients in growing closer to God and representing his Kingdom).

See ya there!

Friday night we have two separate Christmas parties going on.  The men will be meeting at Lloyds on Highway 280 at 7:00 pm.  This is an annual gathering that is planned and presented by the Men’s Ministry. 

Thanks Jim Daw, for all you do for this ministry.

Meanwhile at the church, also at 7:00 pm, the ladies will be getting together also.  They will probably party a little harder than the men.  My wife was up later than normal just getting ready to go.  Thank you Mary Lombard for all you do for the ladies.

One thing I do know; there will be food.  Hopefully all that attend will have a good time and may Jesus be lifted up through the fellowship.

Love you all
