Welcome
Welcome to our virtual worship service for Sunday March 22nd 2020. Below we have prepared some tools that you could use to have your own worship service in your home. Feel free to use as much or as little of what we have prepared to suit your needs. Please give us your feedback on what you would like to see more of in these virtual worship services. We are still figuring out the best approach to providing engaging worship experiences when we have to be away from each other.
Bridge Kids
We know that everyone's routines are being changes and access to less can cause stress, especially with kids.
So Arbor Bridge is partnering with Think Orange to bring you Bridge Kids remotely. Below you will find a link to a video with this Month's song and a video presentation for the lesson. Simply select the age group that best fits your needs.

Announcements
Before we begin worship there are a few announcements to bring up to you.
We will not be meeting for a worship service at the building this Sunday March 22nd or Sunday March 29th. Our church leadership will be meeting this week to determine how we will be proceeding in the month of April.
Please join our church family in reading the “30 Days with Jesus” Bible Plan that can be found in the YouVersion App. Today we are on day 7 if you wanted to begin to read with the rest of us. You can find that reading plan here: https://my.bible.com/reading-plans/16977-30-days-with-jesus
While you are at home binge watching your favorite shows please consider watching the first season of a show called “The Chosen”. Find it here: https://studios.vidangel.com/the-chosen Try out the first episode and let us know what you think.
At this time our first Big Give of the year is planned for Sunday April 5th. The funds raised during this Big Give will go towards an event that we call Arbor Bridge in Action: Home Project. The Home Project is currently scheduled for April 25th of this year. This is an event where we help a person in our community care for their home. Please pray about what God is calling you to give so that we can serve our community in this way. You can learn about about the Home Project here: http://arborbridgechurch.com/homeproject
Last please sign up to receive texts from church to stay updated on whats happening in our church family!
Check out this video to see how:
Prayer & Song
As you begin your worship service say a prayer asking for God to meet you as you try and worship Him.
Listen to the song in this video:
A portion of this song is based on a prayer by a man many Christians call St Fransis of Assisi. He was a Jesus follower who lived during the 13th century.
You can find that prayer here: https://www.kofc.org/un/en/resources/communications/francis-prayer-for-peace.pdf
Print it out and consider what part of the prayer you would most like to live out in your life.
Message/ Panel Discussion

A few members of our church family (Grace Han, Ron Mann, and Gabrielle Sanders) got together to share some thoughts about how we can follow Jesus during this challenging time in our country.
