Come share a story or perform an act (musical, comedy or other – but family friendly!) at our Story & Talent Event on Tuesday February 24th from 7 – 8 pm. The theme is “Love and Friendship” and you must sign up ahead of time with Pastor Dan to be on the program. We will choose four stories and four talent acts to perform on the night, with each to last about 6 minutes. (This is not an Open Mic event.)
Preceding this event will be our weekly “Come to the Table” Tuesday night dinner at 6 pm, with a home cooked meal for suggested donation of $4. We hope you can join us to perform or cheer on the performers!

Enjoy a home-cooked soup or entree meal with salad, bread, and dessert for $4 (suggested donation). All are welcome!

We hope you can join us for great food and fellowship at the Bridge Café!
Beginning February 3rd, our Tuesday evening Come to the Table Dinners will not only offer a generous meal but also offer a sumptuous feast of friendship with a side of encouragement! We hope you’ll consider committing to attending at least a month of dinners (4 weeks) in either February, March, or April!
Dinner will start at 6pm and once dessert is served, table gatherings can transition into a guided conversation using the packet on the table. The packet will have everything you need.

Food Pantry in the parking lot of the Bridge Café
Did you know about the Community Food Pantry at 4400 Buffaloe Road? (in parking lot of First Alliance Church). It was started by neighborhood residents Allison & Brandon DeLucca with the help of Dan Rothra, Kent Hoffman and Nora Hoffman (all in the photo) as a service to our neighborhood.
The Pantry is open 24/7 with the motto “Take What You Need – Leave What You Can.” It operates solely on the generosity of the Buffaloe Road community and First Alliance Church.
If you wish to donate non-perishable food or small toiletry items, you can leave them inside the pantry cupboard or deliver to the Bridge Café (entrance to First Alliance Church) Tuesday-Friday (8:30 – 11:30 a.m.) or Sunday (10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.)
