We will be meeting for prayer this Wednesday night – April 25th – at 7:00 PM.
Vanguard is located at 12140 103rd street (upper level).
All are welcome to join as we meet with the Living Christ together. These nights have always been awesome times with God that have preceeded awesome events in the life of our church, so come and be a part of our story.
Please visit the Bridge Songs website for music samples and the most complete information. It’s located at www.bridgesongs.ca
Community members from UBC will share their original music, and we will be bringing in Jacob and Lily to headline the event. Specifics of time and location are coming soon to this page.
We are also looking for visual art to compliment the music, so if you have any pieces, or would like to create any pieces, that fit the general theme of “bridge” (doesn’t have to be a literal bridge), send them in to art@urbanbridgechurch.com
Just wanted to give a quick update on the status of this site for those not as nosy and poky as I would be.
A lot has been going on under the hood the last couple of months – and even the last couple of weeks.
For instance, if you look in your sidebars, to the left you will see photos from our gallery. These are now random photos from all the photos in our gallery. Clicking any of them will open our gallery up for you.
If you look in your right sidebar, you will find an awful lot. Down a ways you will find the three latest forum posts (well, snippets from them). Clicking any of those will take you directly into that post on our new forums, where you can read more, and even post yourself.
Growth on the forums has been steady these last few weeks, with a few people adding to the fray each week. We’d love to hear from you there.
Another nice thing about the site now is that your username and password can get you into posting comments on any posts here, posting topics and replies in our forum, or even commenting on photos in the gallery.
There’s more, but that’s likely enough to keep you busy for a while.
Oh, what the heck – be sure to check out our new job postings page too!
We are looking for YOUR nature photos for this Sunday, March 25, 2007. We are also looking for ANY photo you have taken that conveys to you “the awesomeness of God”. It could be a sunset. It could be Times Square. It could be Hong Kong. It could be the ocean. It could be outer space. It’s up to you.
If you have digital phoos you can send us, please do. You can email them to content@urbanbridgechurch.com.
If you have physical photos that you are unable to scan or otherwise convert to digital format, we welcome you to bring those as well. Simply mark your name on the back of the photos and bring them to church this Sunday. We will use them in the service (it’s a bit of a surprise, so nuff’ said) and get them back to you right after.
We look forward to seeing your work and creating an awesome worship experience together this Sunday.
We are teaming up with the Church that planted us nearly a year ago, City Centre Church.
We will have a joint service with City Centre Church at the Paramount Theatre in the heart of downtown. The Paramount Theatre is located at 10233 Jasper Avenue NW. View the Google Map and get directions here >>
The Paramount Easter service will have a large choir, and we are invited to take part. If you want to sing in the choir, there will be one practice required, and other than that, you’re welcome to join. Email worship@urbanbridgechurch.com if interested.
This Sunday we kick off our new series on Fear.
Fear is widespead and it is menacing. It’s the monster in our closet that seems to keep us all back and hold us all down. And we all have fears.
In prep for this series – and as it continues, we’d like to know what your fears are. And we’d like to share our own.
We have set up a forum on our Conversations Forum board where you can share your fears with us all. You can be serious or humorous. Just be real.
Urban Bridge has cut together an exclusive trailer for the film, “Frisbee: The Life and Death of a Hippee Preacher”.
If you would like to know more about this film that we showing Sunday February 18th, simply download the file and watch it whenever you like!
This Thursday, February 15 at 7 PM we will be gathering at Vanguard College to pray together in preparation for our “Frisbee” film event.
We want God’s Love to be felt by all who attend, and we want the dialogue after the film to be laced with grace and mercy. We also pray for good attendance so that we can raise a lot of money for HIV Edmonton. We need God’s wisdom and strength to pull this off!
Please join us at 7 PM at Vanguard College (12140 103rd Street) in the top-floor prayer room for a great night together with Jesus. Many of us will also be fasting that day.
The first Soup On Sunday was a HUGE success – so thank you all for coming.
We started off a new tradition with an amazing 26 people (not that we count 
) cramming into the Ritz’s home. We had some wonderful soup (chicken noodle, homemade tomato, and borscht) and some amazing sandwhiches. Great job to all who brought the food. And I must say that spending $8 for my family to eat lunch was wonderful!
I got to meet a lot of new people – a lot of friendly people. A lot of people I hope become my friends in time.
I for one am looking forward to the next Soup on Sunday – and I hope I’ll see you there!
We are actively pursuing location options for Urban Bridge Church, as our time at the museum will be coming to a close sometime in the next several months.
One of those options is the Hull Block (you can view it here).
(more images coming soon)
The Hull Block is a historic building of Edmonton, located in the heart of Chinatown. Essential, it is on 96/97th street and 106th Ave.
We ask you to consider this location carefully in prayer, as we feel this is a decision our body must make together. (more…)
