Thanksgiving Dinner

Fall semester has almost reached it's end! Our Thanksgiving Dinner was a great night of food, fellowship and fun! We had a number of Chinese ladies attend as well as a few new faces to the Bridge! With one holiday down we are still busy with Christmas and China plans. We will be having our annual Christmas with The Bridge on Sunday December 6th @ 6pm in the Shriver Building on Campus. This year we will be accompanied by The MUGS Gospel Choir and The Bridge Children's Choir! After the service we will be hosting a Soup Dinner. We would love for you to join us.

As a church we have been working through the book of Genesis, encouraging students to read along and memorize scripture! God is preparing us for great things please keep the students and staff in your prayers over this Christmas Break, Please pray that we come back with a passion and a fire for the ministry God is calling us to!

October

The focus for the month of October was "Missions" local and global. The children have been learning about being on mission in their homes and at school. Each Tuesday we have approximately 20-25 children and youth!The college students have been organizing and participating in a number of service projects around oxford such as; habitat for humanity, trash pick up, making cookies for dorms, and others. We had 15 Students attend our fall break mission trip; It was a great time as students and staff were able to work together as we made a difference at several organizations. Friday was packed full of activities. In the morning students gave free granola bars and hot chocolate to UC students as they went to class. The afternoon was spent packing backpacks full of clothes and school supplies for homeless children, packing/organizing about 5,000 pounds of food at the FoodBank, spending time with Seniors at a Senior Living Home, trash pick-up, and prayer walking around UC's campus. The evening was an amazing time spent together sharing stories, worshiping, and having bible study..

Miami has rising cases of the Swine Flu. Whitney Moore was diagnosed with Swine a few weeks ago but is feeling much better! Please continue to keep Miami students and the Bridge in your prayers.

Thank you for your prayers and support! Please continue to be in prayer for the students as the prepare for China. Pray for the students and staff as the winter weather sets in! And pray that Miami's Campus will be able to see who God is!
