QUARTER 2 UPDATE
AUGUST - OCTOBER, 2024
During this second quarter, we were able to begin working on our new roof, which is almost complete, and winter should be a lot drier this year (no more surprise leaks)! Toward the end of the year, we will begin submitting building permits.
Your faithfulness and generosity are making a difference. As you look through this quarterly update, I hope you are encouraged by the stories of how God is moving. Let’s keep trusting Him with each step, knowing He is faithful to complete the good work He has begun.
Matt Hessel
Lead Pastor
Glassford Project Management has been working diligently to complete our new roof. They began by removing rock being used as ballast weight, then started laying a new roof above the auditorium and working across the building. The whole building is expected to have a new roof by mid-November. With proper maintenance, the new roofing system should last longer than the 20-year manufacturer warranty and keep our church well protected for years to come.
“Having the privilege to perform this roof project for my church family is incredibly humbling. I know they say not to take business personally, but it’s hard not to when you authentically believe in the heart and vision of LifeBridge.”
Matthew Glassford, Owner of Glassford Project Management
“I never viewed myself as a leader or felt confident to step into spaces that would require me to challenge my thinking that I’m not enough. God is using the people around me to call out and encourage the gifts/talents they see in me to break down the walls of my insecurity. He’s showing me that my fears of not being enough are exactly what He is using to prove that He is enough, so I don’t have to be! This year, I’ve been able to help lead my first small group, and I’ve been learning how to step into what He’s called for me, regardless of my experience, because He is enough.”
Rachel Moore, Group Leader & Worship Team
“With LifeBridge, specifically the WRAP ministry, our family felt like we could thrive rather than just barely survive doing foster care. Each act of service was more than just a meal or babysitting; it was a lifeline to us, reminding us that we were not alone in our foster care journey. We truly felt that our team were the hands and feet of Jesus to us and we couldn’t have fostered without them.”
Abby & Alex Koenigseker, WRAP Ministry
