Hey Urban Bridge friends. Come out and support one of your own at The Carrot on July 23. The Carrot is Dave’s favorite venue to play, and Dave’s new MacBook is ready to work overtime. Expect some new songs, hope for some special guests, and know that beyond a shadow of a doubt, there will be a banjo present. Families welcome, too. Dave’s kids need companions (and their cover is free).

Summer at Urban Bridge is story time.

Previous years have taken us on adventures with fictional characters to fantasy worlds of our making. This summer, the adventures are real and the characters are members of the Urban Bridge community.

Join us throughout the summer to hear personal stories from the journeys of the Urban Bridge Church family. Discover shared pain, joy, struggle and celebration as you find your own story within the stories of the community.

This Sunday will be a very special gathering at Urban Bridge, as the bulk of our time together will be led by The Pre/Post Project. The Pre/Post Project fuses music and storytelling in a dynamic presentation that introduces audiences to the lives of marginalized urban youth.

Mat Halton is a youth worker and a singer/songwriter, so The Pre/Post Project is a blend of those life passions and an experiment in art for social change. Mat Halton and The Pre/Post Project have been supported by Urban Bridge over the past year through I Love Artists. Essentially this means we’ve been developing a relationship with them, and have helped them in some practical ways like putting together promotional materials and a website for their Pre/Post Project. This Sunday, they are going to share that project with us first hand.

The time (10 AM) and location (Royal Alberta Museum Theatre) are the same as always. But our time together will be anything but routine. Be prepared for an inspiring and challenging morning.

One for men and one for women

This Sunday April 18, at Debbie & Edgar Schmidt’s will be hosting Soup on Sunday right after the service.
Address: 10 Larwood Place Sherwood Park

SOS  is a chance to meet new people and build community as we eat homemade soup and sandwiches. Fun for the whole family at a bargain price!

Family $8
Individual $3

Interface Worship and St. Paul’s Anglican will mark Holy Saturday with The Rending of the Veil, an indigenous alternative worship service on Saturday, April 3. Doors will open at 6:30 pm for quiet reflection; the service will be from 7:00 to 8:45 pm. 10127-145 Street. Drawing on the theology of Alan Lewis, we will stand in the borderlands between Good Friday and Easter Sunday… looking forward, and looking back. Holy Saturday both separates and joins the two most important days in the Christian calendar: the separation giving each day its full import, the joining giving each day its full context. This service will include poetry by Mark Polet, prophetic painting by Lori Kelly, music lead by Kathleen Pate, the Altarwalk devotional exercise, meditative time, open art tables, and the extensive use of original symbols, rituals, and imagery.
