What’s inside…
The Bridge Home is devoted to bridging the gap between
homelessness and housing by providing shelter, support, and
inspiring a pathway forward to individuals and families
experiencing or on the verge of homelessness. We are
committed to ending the misconceptions and stigma surrounding homelessness
by educating our community about the growing housing crisis in the Story
County and Two Rivers region. In the last year alone, we have proudly served
over 600 men, women, and children with more than 4,000 meals and 10,000
nights of shelter.
Your kindness and contributions will help curb the growing housing crisis in
Story County and Two Rivers Region. Thank you for your support.
This weekend is our Good Samaritan Food Shelf Weekend. Our Good Samaritan
Fund/Black Bag Collection is also this weekend. The black bucket in the
entrance to the church is available for your Black Bag contributions. For this
month, your generous contributions will be donated to The Bridge Home. For
information on this organization, please read below.

Marriage Corner
“Whoever wishes to be great among you will be your
servant; whoever wishes to be first among you will be the
slave of all.” (Mk 10:43-44) It can be exhausting to always be
caring for your children and spouse. Remember who you are
ultimately serving: Christ. He will give you strength (and
rest).
