NEW BRIDGE - IHOP-ATLANTA IS GOING VIRTUAL!

In light of the recent developments with the COVID-19 pandemic and the presidential advisory, we are limiting our gatherings to no more than 10 people. The following ministry areas will be available virtually for your participation: Sunday 9am and 11:15AM services and online prayer room including our weekly community-wide prayer gatherings at 4pm on Tuesdays. We are encouraging all other ministry areas to connect and participate virtually such as House Churches and classes. Developments regarding the aforementioned areas will be communicated as information becomes available.

New Bridge Church and IHOP-Atlanta Prayer Room adjustments will go into effect starting March 17th at 8AM and will continue for the next 30 days, until April 14th. For further information on our response to the COVID-19, please join us for a virtual town-hall session hosted by mission base leaders on Wednesday, March 18th at 7pm. Check out our IHOP-Atlanta and New Bridge Church Facebook pages to tune in!

At this time in light of current advisory from the federal and local levels, our Sunday 9AM AND 11:15AM services will be going virtual, and will be available through livestream. All Wednesday midweek services, Forerunner Church and 5pm services will be cancelled until further notice.

WHERE WE'RE GOING NEXT

Our senior leadership team will be hosting a virtual town-hall style session in lieu of the March 18th mid-week service to go deeper on details and answer questions our community has. If you'd like to watch online, livestream options will be available through the IHOP-Atlanta and New Bridge Church Facebook pages. If you have questions that you would like to be considered for this session, please click this link to submit them. We will address as many questions as possible during this time.

For tithes and offerings during this season we want to continue to give generously through our online giving platforms. Also consider giving over and above so we can meet the needs of those experiencing financial difficulty. Give to the Community Hardship Fund HERE.

At this time we want to stay connected to the heart of the Lord. Here are a few ways we can do that:

⁃ Tune in to livestream services on the weekend

⁃ Tune in to the prayer room, it is still livestreaming 24/7

⁃ Have personal and family devotional times of worship and prayer

⁃ Continue to give tithes and offerings

⁃ Look for ways to support those who are physically at risk of covid-19 such as our elderly populations and those who have underlying conditions.

⁃ Support those who are financially in need due to hardship due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

⁃ Look for opportunities to share the gospel with the lost
