The New Testament
Two weeks ago, Lord Maestro Alfanzo Caballero III made another appearance in Bridge 45, this time teaching on the New Testament. If you have a half hour to spare, enjoy his presentation!

Open for Business!
This past Sunday was the launch of Bridge 45 in our new classroom! We passed our final inspection Thursday--just in time to move our things in on Friday and Saturday! The weekend in the new room went well. The kids were excited to finally have their own space and adults from the church walked through and were amazed by how nice and big the room was. We couldn't have asked for a better kick-off Sunday!
We still have a few things to do in the room, but for the most part it's done. It was great to be able to hang the projects the students have been working on over the past few months, and the TVs (we heard) were what made the room look cool.
Below are several pictures from the weekend. Rather than write captions under each one, here's a rundown of what they're of:
-Views from different corners in the room as we put it together (7 photos)
-Kids checking in as they enter the room for the first time
-Earning points at the Bible Verse Station for saying the memory verse, bringing their Bibles and notebooks... we've found that it takes some rewards to help build habits!
-Girls sitting in the corner talking. We'll have a futon for this space delivered soon
-Playing DDR
-Playing Mario Kart on the Game Cube
-Justine and Alan, two of our worship leaders. They were VERY excited for the new sound system. We found that the kids engaged in worship MUCH MORE in the new space. I think it helps to have them so close to the band.

-Small group time--notice the kids using their notebooks!

Move-In Week!
This week we're moving into our new Bridge 45 classroom! I still don't feel like it's really happening. It'll be a little rushed at the last minute--I waited until last week to order the major items because we didn't have the room to store them until the locks were working on the doors to the modular. I know there'll be a lot of details to work out the first few weeks in the new classroom (Like we realized today--how are we going to do dismissal? Normally we have the parents line up at the doors to the room and dismiss the kids one by one. But this new space has outside access with no roof covering, and with the weather what it is in Oregon, I have a feeling we'd end up with some very cranky, and wet, parents!), but for now, we're hoping to think of as many things as possible!
Here's a list of what we still have left to do:
-The folding chairs are scheduled to be delivered Wednesday (tomorrow)
-The two flat-screen TVs will be delivered Thursday
-Purchase the wall-mounts for the TVs
-Have the wall mounts hung and the TVs attached
-Hook up the laptop with Media Shout to the TVs and make sure they work together
-The sound system (we're getting an incredible system from Bose... check it out here will be delivered Thursday or Friday
-Set up the sound system
-Pick up two Foosball tables and a futon from families in the church
-Install temporary window coverings (we'll later get permanent ones for all the units)
-Purchase trash cans, water and cups (no plumbing in the unit)
-Move remaining supplies and materials from the old room
-Pass the final inspection (we had one yesterday and we just need to fix a few things)
All in all, with some great volunteers, it's very doable!
