Winter Wonderland!!!

Our city has been taken over by snow!!! The city of Kokomo is pretty much shut down for the second day in a row. School has been cancelled for the last two days, so obviously we haven't met with our students in two days either. We are leaving on Friday to head up to Michigan for a weekend retreat at SpringHill Camps with our high school students. Please pray that the weather cooperates for us. Please also pray that we have safe travels, snow could turn this 5 hour trip into a 7 or 8 hour nerve-racking trip. We know we'll have a great time and we'll tell you all about it when we return!

Earl, try to stay on the tube next time!

Last weekend Bridges went on our annual ski trip with First Church of God. We went up north to Timber Ridge in Kalamazoo, MI. We got there Friday night and stayed the night at the Holidome. There we did some swimming, played some video games and some ordered some late night pizza. We also joined some other students to hear a message from Pastor Brad Johnson and a time of worship.
Altogether Bridges had 11 students go, 7 from Bon Air and 4 from Central. 1 of the 11 tried snowboarding and the other 10 went tubing. We had an awesome time doing everything! We didn't have any moments quite as funny as Israel taking out the orange safety fence at full speed last year and no one topped the smell of Jons' socks from two years ago, but we still had a great time!
