Church Puts Faith In Action
The Bridge Family Worship Center had a gas giveaway...
YULEE, FL, OCTOBER 18, 2007: This past Saturday, the Smile Gas station on A1A was bustling with activity. That’s because volunteers from The Bridge Family Worship Center were handing out free $10 gas cards, washing windows and pumping gas for customers on their first Faith in Action work day. The community was deeply moved by God’s love being shared in such a tangible way. One woman had only $3 for gas and cried tears of relief when handed her gas card. Another couple had just prayed together the night before that God would help them with their finances and they couldn’t believe God was so quick to answer their prayer!
“Instead of just telling our community to come to our church, we went to them and served them,” says Duane Erickson, pastor of The Bridge. More than 70 volunteers from the church participated in three different outreaches on Saturday.
In just a few hours, volunteers at Greater Nassau Women’s Services pressure washed the building, planted flowers and cleaned inside the facility. “It was like ants on a hill,” said volunteer Travis Carter speaking about the hard work by members of the team. The project received positive response from JoAnne Conlon, Chairman of the Board for the center, who was thrilled with the results and touched that a church would serve them. “This is the first time I've ever seen a church reach out the way this church did.
