Sunday Evening Celebrations

“Shared laughter creates a bond of friendship. When people laugh together, they cease to be young and old, teachers and pupils, worker and boss. They become a single group of human beings.”
          - W. Lee Grant

Once a month Bridge partners with a local church or other community organizations in hosting a Sunday Evening Celebration. These are gatherings of persons with disabilities, their family and caregivers along with volunteers, organizations or church members. The time together provides a safe and dedicated opportunity for the able-bodied and the disabled to create friendships and build relationships to alleviate isolation and enrich lives and connect with the community.

Celebrations, which take place at the host location from 4:00-6:00 include a free dinner, conversation, music, laughter, a spotlight on a selected guest to share their gifts and God’s love in action. All are welcome to attend… and first time guests may feel like a stranger but not for long!

“Meeting someone for the first time
is like going on a treasure hunt.
What wonderful worlds we find in others!”
- Edward L. Ford
