  Bridge Disability Ministries - Monthly Sunday Celebrations

Once a month Bridge partners with a local church in hosting a Sunday Evening Celebration. The Celebrations are gatherings of persons with disabilities, their family and caregivers with members of host churches and other individuals from the local community. The purpose is to be together and to enjoy each other!

Celebrations are …

  • A place where strangers become friends
  • A place of warmth and respect, where gifts and abilities of all are affirmed
  • A place to connect with each other and to celebrate God together

The Celebration takes place at the host church from 4:00 – 6:00 p.m. Enjoy a superb meal, good conversation with old and new friends, music, laughter, and the affirmation of God’s love in action and in word. The church leads in a short program and persons with disabilities are given opportunities to share their gifts as well.

The Celebrations bring together people who might not meet otherwise, and also strengthen life-long friendships. These are special outings for persons we serve. They look forward to and appreciate the lively social interactions, food and program. Persons from host churches also look forward to these Celebrations as “not to be missed” opportunities. Many persons from the churches have commented after a Celebration, “I think I had more fun than our guests did! When are we going to do this again?”

Please R.S.V.P. the Bridge Office at (425) 828-1431 to let us know you are planning to attend a Celebration. If you have special dietary needs, please let us know so we can inform the church host. One week's notice is required if you need a sign language interpreter.
