Bridgetown Creative Workshop: Songwriting
Gather with us for our next Bridgetown Creative Workshop led by David Sumbela.
In this session, we’ll consider what it looks like to create from abundance rather than scarcity, and how what feels “wasted” may actually be forming something deeper in us before God.
Led by a lifelong songwriter and producer, this workshop is for anyone who wants to create—or who feels stuck because they can’t see the point. Together, we’ll reimagine creativity not as a tool for productivity, but as a response to God’s abundant love.
Date: Mon, Mar 23
Time: 6:30 - 8:30 PM
Location: Bridgetown Church; Forest Room

Practicing the Way Course: Service
Gather with us for a 4 week Practicing the Way course on Service. We aim to be a community of justice, mercy, and reconciliation in a culture of injustice and division through the practice of Service. Love is the hallmark of Jesus’ followers, but what does it look like? In the Way of Jesus, it means offering hidden acts of service to those right in front of us, allowing ourselves to be interrupted by unexpected needs, and overlapping our lives with those on the margins.
