Bridgetown Ministries

Where is Jesus’ hand? At the end of YOUR arm.

We are hoping to spend one Friday night a month doing what we imagine is very close to the heart of God – loving and caring for “the least of these”, BEING the hands and feet of Christ. Bridgetown Ministries (www.bridgetownministries.com) heads under the Burnside Bridge on Friday nights to provide food and clothing, wash feet and hair, cut hair, and love people exactly where they are at. This is a time to give of yourself, your time, your money, and your emotions; to love people simply because they are God’s creatures, made in His image, and they need to be loved. Remember that Jesus tells us that as we love and care for those in need, we are really loving and caring for Him. Event Info.:

• Friday, Sept. 29 (always register a week in advance)Meet at NFC at 5pm.
  
• We will return to NFC at approx. midnight.
• We start at Bridgetown headquarters, preparing food and supplies, then head to the Burnside Bridge in downtown Portland.
• $12 each to cover Bridgetown costs + gas (come even if you can’t pay!)
• Eat before you come! We can eat while down there, but it won’t be until about 8:30
• This event is for middle schoolers, high schoolers and families.
• Middle schoolers are required to be accompanied by a parent.

This is not a sight-seeing event, this is a servant-oriented event so please come ready to serve and be social.
