LifeBridge was founded with a mindset of reaching and serving this community where God placed us.

Our mission statement is “Connecting People to Jesus by: Reaching the Lost, Discipling the Saved & Sharing the Love of God with Everyone.”

Indeed, we love where we live” – and the people who love around us!

2023 ANNUAL CONGREGATIONAL VOTERS’ MEETING

On Sunday, October 29, 2023, following worship (around 11:15/11:30am), LifeBridge will hold its annual Congregational Voters’ Meeting.

Information and agenda items will appear below as they become available (so check back often).


AGENDA

Approval of Minutes

LifeBridge Special Voters’ Meeting Minutes
February 5, 2023

Call to Order – President Dale Leland called the meeting to order. 

Opening Prayer – Pastor Scott Heitshusen opened the meeting with prayer.

Approval of Minutes Annual Meeting on October 30, 2022 – Jan Heitshusen made a motion to approve the October 30, 2022 Voters’ Meeting Minutes.  Second by Jesus Sanchez.  Motion passed.

Description and Explanation of Why We’re Here – Becky Jungklaus will soon complete her Deaconess program and will be ready for a call.  LifeBridge Community Church could extend a call to Becky if approved by the congregation.  There would be no funds associated with this call for LifeBridge.  Becky would be raise her own funds.  LifeBridge would be Becky’s home base; however, her ASL ministry could have her working as a missionary at large.  A call by LifeBridge would put Becky on the list of LCMS trained ASL Deaconesses.  A motion was made by Angie Wolfe that LifeBridge Community Church extend a call to Becky Jungklaus as a Deaconess.  Second by Jason Wolfe.  Motion passed.

“Open Ear”/Open Floor – President Leland asked if there were any topics not covered that needed to be discussed.  None were presented.

Be Humble and Love Others — CONFIRMATION SUNDAY

Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 18:3

Confirmation is a time to “confirm” your faith in Jesus and commitment to the Scriptures.

It is not the end of a journey, but the promise to continue on growing in the journey of Faith.

In today’s Scriptures we hear the call to “love each other” and “humble” ourselves like children.

These godly commands seem simple in theory, but are difficult in practice.

Yet if we commit ourselves to continue to walk in them, we will be blessed in our walk with God and in how others are brought to Him, too!

May we all confirm our Faith in Jesus in this way!

SCRIPTURES

  • Romans 13:8–10
  • Matthew 18:1–5

Border Bags

The Freedom Church Alliance (“FCA”). of which LifeBridge is a partner, wants to help those who are being taken advantage of at the border.

Border Bags is a brand new initiative they are undertaking after having become aware in recent months of exploitation taking place among the influx of people at the border.

The FCA and LifeBridge are feeling led by the Lord to respond!

We know that as women and children make their way to the border there is a greater risk for them either being exploited – if they are not already experiencing it.

So we are responding alongside the FCA by:

  1. helping put together bags for women and children and
  2. in a few months deliver these bags to the border for distribution. (We don’t know what this part will look just yet but will keep you informed.)

We are making 20 bags: 12 for women and 8 for children.

WOMEN

To make this easier, click here for a Walmart Registry setup with items. (or search the Walmart Registry for “Border Bag List”).

If you purchase “like items” not on the registry, please text Astra (517/525.5604) or Angie (979/627.5817) and they will manually update the registry.

CHILDREN

  1. Travel size Hygiene Kit
  2. Gym Shorts
  3. Basic T-Shirt
  4. Socks
  5. Underwear
  6. Flip Flops
  7. Small Stuffed Animal
  8. Coloring Book & Crayons
  9. Spanish Children’s Bible

Here’s what we need from you:

  • Take an empty bag.
  • Fill it as appropriate for a woman or child.
  • Return it by September 23.

That’s it!

Thanks for helping us help those being exploited! You are making a difference!
