Title: Snowmageddon 2011

By: pastordale@bridgewaycc.net (Dale) - On: 02/01/2011 - 1:43pm

Body: To listen to the news media, we're on the verge of a winter storm of epic proportions. While I'm a skeptic at heart, I'm becoming more of a believer every minute. We've already shoveled the drive once to get the van in the garage, and will probably have to do it several more time.

I'm placing the over under at 13 inches between today and tomorrow. Which ya takin...

Body:

Great close to our "Plan B" series today!
We always pray before every series that God uses it to speak to people right where they are at...with this series that has definitely been the case...tons of stories from people who are experiencing Plan B's in their lives.
We closed out the series with a simple gospel message...examining that through the Cross we find hope!...

First of all...sorry this is a day late, but it was a pretty crazy weekend.
I'll try to keep it short.
Very strange, but powerful Sunday at BridgeWay this weekend.
If you don't know we meet at Tremont High School for worship.
This weekend Tremont HS was rocked by a tragic bus accident that involved another vehicle driven by students from Tremont HS....

Title: How to Create an Annual Sermon Calendar

By: pastordale@bridgewaycc.net (Dale) - On: 01/21/2011 - 3:25pm

Body: One of the greatest benefits to my ministry over the past six years has been the use of an annual sermon calendar. Since we launched BridgeWay in February of 2005 I've planned my sermons roughly 9-12 months in advance. Over the past couple days I've been locked away praying, planning, and writing the skeleton of this year's upcoming sermon series.

Body:

Great start to our first series of 2011 today!
We kicked off a series called "Plan B" with a message on dealing with shattered dreams.
Matt did a great job of preaching on the story of Elijah.
Loved the A Team shout-out...from what I could tell there were a lot of children of the 80's and A-Team fans in the house!
I also loved God's response to Elijah's...

Title: Our Family's Top 11 Experiences of 2010

By: pastordale@bridgewaycc.net (Dale) - On: 01/01/2011 - 11:37am

Body: Last night we spent New Year's Eve together as a family for the first time in several years. Usually we attend or host a New Year's Eve party, but because we were going to get back from Christmas vacation so late in the day we changed it up this year (and might in the future too).

We dressed up, went out to dinner together, and talked about our favorite memories from 2010...as...

Title: What I Shipped in 2010

By: pastordale@bridgewaycc.net (Dale) - On: 12/30/2010 - 7:42am

Body: Read a great post on Seth Godin's blog this morning about what he shipped in 2010. If you know Seth's writing at all, he constantly challenges people to fight their "lizard brain" and actually ship/produce something. You can read his post here.

He closed his post by challenging people to post what they shipped in 2010...so here...

I went with my oldest daughter Helena and two of my nieces (Lexi & Paige) to watch TRON: Legacy in 2D.

I'd been excited to see TRON: Legacy since I'd heard it was being made. I love Jeff Bridges, and have a strong interest in 1980's video game...

Great Christmas Eve Worship Experience at BridgeWay last night!
Even with 5-6 inches of snow and terrible road conditions, we saw around 350 people join us for worship...and at least 2 people make professions of faith!
About 2 hours before the service I looked at Matt and said, "do you think we should just move this whole thing to Sunday?" It was snowing that bad and the...

Great day at BridgeWay today!
I've really enjoyed our Christmas series this year...while it's not be a normal or traditional Christmas series...it really gets to the heart of the gospel and challenges us as a church to be the body of Christ.
Great spirit in the room given the heaviness of the sermon today.
I preached on the question, "Are you a follower of Jesus...
