**ATTENTION**

Hello, neighbors!
It has happened again. So, here is your friendly neighborhood reminder to check the actual email address if you receive one claiming to be from me. I have not and will not send out an email asking for gift cards, talking about my hectic schedule, trying to extend your car warranty, or any other scam out there. The email address I use the most is a Gmail account. I apologize if you have received one of these emails today. That is all for now.

Have a great weekend!

Pastor Matt

Here's another real story about our church!

Also, be sure to follow our new page "The Bridge UMC"

Here's another story from a real person who is part of our church community. We know that the people really make up such a large part of the experience in a faith community, so we are delighted to share more of who we are and what we aspire to be!

Meet Jim Edwards!

1. How long have you been attending the church at 8 Park Ln? ⛪️What did you first think of it?
"I started coming to the church in 1984. When I first started coming, every seat was full and some people had to stand."

2. What have you come to learn about the church?
"Some people have passed on and others have left for other reasons, I sort of go with the flow."

3. What does "The Bridge" mean to you? 🌉
"I think that the name The Bridge is like a place where we can find our way to Heaven."

Thank you for sharing your story with us Jim, and for sharing your gifts in our worship band! 🎼🎤

An honest interview about our church with a family who has been attending for just about 2 years now - Justin Fudge and Dierdre Ruth Fudge

1. What did you first think of the church at 8 Park Lane? ⛪️

J: "I thought it was beautiful architecture, great location. But I didn't know what 'Methodist' meant, it seemed like an older church, especially with 'Memorial' in the name."

D: "I honestly thought 'must be nice to have a spot so close to downtown, but are they serious about "All Are Welcome" or are they just saying that because it's trendy, but they really don't like everybody?' I was a little weary to be honest."

2. What have you come to find about the church? 🤔

J: "It's a really great community. It's so welcoming and warm, it's such a great fit for our big family. Pastor Matt has been awesome. It's what I had hoped a church could be, having grown up in a much different faith community."

D: "I actually decided to attend a service after someone from the youth program asked me about teaching a class on affirming beauty + skin care for their youth group. I was so excited to hear how they were committed to being a safe space for all. I probably cried at my first service because the music was contemporary and the message was so spot on with the loving Jesus I know."

3. What does "The Bridge" mean to you? 🌁

J: "As an engineer, I can't help but think of how it's a physical structure that spans a distance and works to unite. I think it is so spot on for our mission as a church, to be a solid space to carry the weight of the community and support as best we can."

D: "I love the new name. It's such a great symbol for how we don't feel like our church or religion is the "end game" but instead it's a tool to unite and carry ourselves and others to a better life - not just in heaven, but hopefully here in our community, living in love and support and kindness."

In anticipation and celebration of renaming our church to "The Bridge: A United Methodist Community" - we are sharing honest stories from real people in our community.
