Together on Tuesdays

This mid-week gathering begins with a potluck meal at 6:00pm. Then from 6:45pm on, the following groups meet:

Faith Journey:
Faith Journey is about exploring our faith. We seek understanding, guidance, and tranformation through the ancient sciptures, fellowship, and prayer.

Wild 4 God Kids:
This is a kids program for grades K-5th that meets in Suite 210.

Prayer Chain

A very important part of Christian ministry is prayer. Our church wants to connect you to other Christians who will pray for you. Our online prayer chain is currently maintained by Gary Kauffman. Please send your requests directly to him at hopebridgeprayer@aol.com and we will offer up to God your request.

You do not need a food bank card or other proof of income to use our resources. Our only requirement is that you are sincerely in need of food. Contact the church office by phone or email for more information.

Pastoral Counseling

At times we all struggle with difficult emotions and situations. Talking with someone about them is a sign of strength, not weakness. If you need to talk, Call for an appointment @ 301-791-9003 or e-mail at hopebridge@myactv.net

REACH/Faith in Action

We support the efforts of the REACH Cold Weather Shelter For The Homeless and Faith in Action, a broad faith-based care and service program.

This spring, the REACH shelter is having a charity run on April 6th to raise money for "Cash For Cots," a $20,000 fundraising campaign that helps REACH operate through the cold winter months and have enough beds for those who need them. They are organizing a Half-Marathon, a 10K, a 5K, and a 1-Mile run. The top three finishers in the 10K, the top three finishers in the 5K, and all Half-Marathon participants will receive a medal. Prizes will be awarded to individuals winners in age categories.

Many in our congregation here at Hope Bridge will be participating in the Reach The Finish Line 5K and the 1-Mile Fun Run to support REACH. Feel free to join us! For more information, visit www.reachcaregivers.org.
