- A HUGE item is that the FHL Project is now officially Bridge Covenant Church and or Puente Covenant Church. We'll leave the translation to you, but you should know that the two will be used interchangeably. We are working on a new logo, and will soon be moving the information on our blog to an official website. We'll release that information soon, but we wanted to give you a heads up. We are very excited about the name of our new church. Puente fits beautifully with our Vision of "connecting & serving God & people."
- Next, did you read about our first worship service? We hosted a Christmas Service after our "Four Evenings of Advent" on the 23rd of December at our home. Sixty people attended! The worship was a rich time of song, participation, and communion. Thank you! It was a great service. Read about it! See the pictures!
- Finally, Salem hosted the 4th Annual Manuary Mustache Bache. Fifteen Mustaches attended. It was a ton of fun. People were connected to each other and to the people and vision of Bridge Covenant. Kids (and adults) decorated cupcakes with sweet Mustaches, we played "Pin the 'Stache on Selleck," and created hand-crafted Mustaches. Take a look at the fun!
- Slow but sure, but this church plant is growing. Thanks for supporting us. We are watching our prayers move into praises every week, and that's so encouraging.

Bruce Dockter here, reporting LIVE from Oaxaca, Mexico : Muy buenos dias, amigos de Salem...Wow, waking up this morning and thinking about our soon-to-be-friends involved in the Puente church project! Thinking about that we will joining many of you soon, to see what God has for us potentially to be a part of in 2011.
I mean, what's this group all about?..were excited, but what are they like?...passions, activities,...who are they??
Well, Ok...we'll pray about this frankly. Cuz I just saw the photos of the latest event, and OK, I mean this ain't your usual church event like a pie sale, or clothes-barrel donations, or 24 hr. Psalms Read-A-Thon.
But a Facial Hair Face-Off ??
Ok...I'm cool with the concept, of stuff like "contextualizing the gospel" to the local culture. Y'all will just have to give me some time to pray, read, and adjust to what I'm starting to 'get' as to the local tribal culture of Salem!
Give us time and prayer.
BUT...we are excited...to soon be apart of helping to construct this BRIDGE.
See you in late March. ( I better stop shaving now...better try and get my wife in on this too )
adios, y paz en Cristo, Bruce D.
Lots of GREAT things! Love the new name!
