Welcome to The Bridge Bible Fellowship
Announcements and Events Section
Reseda Neighborhood Watch - Meetings now held here at the Bridge!
Neighborhood Watch is the cornerstone of the LAPD's crime prevention strategy. It enlists the active participation of residents, in cooperation with law enforcement, to reduce crime in communities throughout the City.
The Neighborhood Watch program was pioneered by the Los Angeles Police Department to educate community residents regarding their roles and responsibilities in the prevention of crime, and to encourage them to take active measures to prevent crime. The program calls upon residents to step forward and assist the police in organizing the community into a cohesive unit working toward the goal of building a safer, crime-free neighborhood. Neighborhood Watch groups discuss neighborhood crime problems with the objective of developing solutions to local problems. Los Angeles Police Officers supply crime information to neighborhood watch organizations and instruct these groups in various crime prevention techniques.
If you reside in the Reseda area, here are the Neighborhood Watch Meeting dates for meetings being held on our campus. Please add these dates to your calendar:
Monday, June 17th, 7-9:00 p.m., I-101

The Bridge Bible Institute - Next Session starts on Wednesday, May 22nd ...!
The Prophecy of Isaiah. There is no book in the entire Bible like Isaiah, all at once profound, challenging, convicting, timeless, fascinating, majestic, beautiful and inspiring. This course will introduce you to this crucial book of the Old Testament. Special emphasis will be placed on the purpose, structure, interpretation and highlights of the book. You will also unlock the secrets of prophecy by learning how Isaiah’s prophecies fit in with God’s overall plan for future events. As you delve into the riches of Isaiah, you will also see how the prophet’s message relates powerfully to our own time. Join us Wednesday nights at 7:00-8:30 pm, and get a Bible foundation that you will use the rest of your life! Taught by Jack Littlefield in Room I-101 on the elementary school campus. The cost is $30 with no book fees - only The Bible is needed.
