The Golden Rule
Cathy Hatch 03/02/09
We all make choices everyday. Some choices are easy, while others are very difficult. Many people choose to lie. These lies can be small or large. Some are told to avoid hurting others. Many are told for selfish reasons. My world does not tolerate lying and I practice what I preach. There were a number of friends who were once a part of my life, but then they lied to me and were no longer my friends, period. There are no second chances. The proverbial Golden Rule is all about treating others the way you, yourself, want to be treated. Sounds simple, however, we do not all want the same things or the same treatment.

New church moves into Clay
03/30/09
The Bridge is currently assembling a "launch team" to help launch this new ministry to the Syracuse area. Bridge churches believe that all ministry flows out of relationships and are intently focused on the quality of ministry rather than how many or how large the church is.
“We are interested in the spiritual synergy that happens when people of like mind and heart attempt to do great things for the Kingdom of God. We believe in moving in freedom and for the Holy Spirit to have His way,” said Ranelle Bovenzi, Bridge member. This belief is part of the spiritual DNA of the founder of the Association of Bridge Churches, John Paul Jackson...
