The Bridge RIP 2007….

….for the past 15 years or so, the Bridge has been a building owned by Solihull Christian Fellowship. It has been used to reach out to the community  and especially young people.

As we now have a brand spanking new building (also called the Bridge) this one is going to be knocked down to make way for a new shopping centre in Shirley. It was a sad day when we finally left the building as we have so many great memories.

The building was falling apart and leaked like a seive at times. It has an asbestos roof and was frezzing cold in the winter but boiling hot in the summer. The walls could cave in with too much pressure places on them and were patched up to the max. ….but it was a great , homely, fun kind of building and we will miss it.

God always has a plan and the newe building seems to be that but, as a reminiscing kind of guy, I have been doing a lot of that of late. How many young people have become Christians in that place? How many great nights worshipping God have we spent there? How many prayers have gone up from the Bridge? How many people’s lives were changes in that building?

Some of these questions we will only get answers to in Heaven I guess but I know that I have seen and felt the presence of God in the Bridge many many times.

So, we look back with fondness at the Bridge and look forward to all that God is going to do through the…..Bridge!!!
