Anna Jarvis began to loathe what Mother’s Day became. She openly denounced it, begging people to stop buying cards, flowers, and candy. By the end of her life, she spent all of her personal savings in legal fees lobbying Congress to do away with the holiday she founded.

I’ll have to admit, my job was easier six years ago. Six years ago we had one campus and one location. I was responsible for a wonderful, though much smaller staff. I was preaching sermons, leading staff meetings, discipling, and doing a little bit of counseling.

“Are you crazy?” None of you reading this are surprised that I’ve been asked that.

The Bridge really is one church, though we currently operate four campuses in three locations (Spanish service is organized as a campus).

This last month I’ve been writing about the Four Faces of The Bridge. We took last week off because it was Christmas weekend. But we’re back to finish the series this week.
