New Monmouth Musings: Don't Miss This Special Summer Activity

Dear Friends, 

I was reading the Asbury Park Press this morning, and one of the articles featured detailed a host of summer activities that are taking place in and around our immediate area. The list was long, and anyone who lives near the Jersey Shore should have no excuse for not finding things to do with your family this summer. However, of all the activities mentioned, there was one activity that that was noticeably absent, and it is called Bridgefest.

For those of you who may not know, I was blessed to be a part of the staff at Calvary Chapel Old Bridge, and during my five years of ministry there, I was blessed to be involved with Bridgefest, the church's annual summer outreach held in Ocean Grove. If you and your family have never taken advantage of this summer activity, let me encourage you to put it on your calendar today.

This year's Bridgefest will be held on Saturday, June 22, in historic Ocean Grove. There will be a youth rally, surf clinic, kids’ activities, boardwalk games, food trucks, vendors, and for me the highlight of them all, beach baptisms where as many as 200 adults and children are baptized in the ocean waters.

Throughout the day you can choose to sit under the teaching of some of your favorite radio speakers who appear daily on The Bridge, on 95.1 FM. In the evening, Big Daddy Weave will perform and Pancho Juarez, pastor of the Ark in Montebello, Ca. will be the crusade speaker. Each year hundreds of people stream forward following the invitation to receive Jesus.

Pastor Lloyd Pulley, senior pastor of Calvary Chapel Old Bridge will preside as the concert host and teacher.

If you have never taken advantage of this gigantic spiritual buffet of family activities, you owe it to yourself to take part. I promise that you will find it one of the highlights of all your family activities this summer.

Bring your beach chairs and blankets, your Bibles and bathing suits and enjoy the time of your lives at this year's Bridgefest.

And by the way, if you want to listen to encouraging and spiritual uplifting radio, then why not turn to The Bridge, as it shares the wonderful message of hope on 95.1 FM.

For more information or to reserve tickets for the concert or event, call 888.861.6100 and tell them Pastor Tom encouraged you to attend. No, it won't get you any discount or special treatment, but what it will get you is the spiritual time of your life, and a day that you will never forget. 

See you at Bridgefest!

Yours in faith and friendship,
Pastor Tom
