November 1 – December 1
Let's celebrate in welcoming little Liam to the world by showering the Bauer
family with meals! Please log on to: www.takethemameal.com and type “Bauer”
in the recipient name search box and then the password “The Bridge” to sign up
to deliver a meal to parents Andrew and Lauren, and 5 year old daughter, Addie!
Addie has sensitivities to gluten and dairy so if you can be mindful of this when
creating meals that would be good. But meats and veggies are great! If you are
not able to bring meals that are gluten or dairy free, no worries. Bring what you
can and Lauren said that she can make something for the little one.
Once you have logged in, you will see the address and directions of how to get to
the Bauer’s home. The Bauer family resides on the Hickam AFB side of Joint Base
Pearl Harbor Hickam so volunteers WILL need access on to the base with a
military ID or sponsored guest pass. If you would like to bring the family a meal
and don’t have an ID or pass, let Donna Rogers (407) 600-5121, know and she can
either drive you on, sponsor you with a pass, or meet you at the front gate's
visitor center to pick up the meal for you. Thanks, everyone!

Parents, each month we give children bible verses to be memorized by the third
Sunday of the month. They receive a prize if they can recite the verse by memory.
Please practice these verses at home with your children and memorize them together:

Preschool: “Give your worries to the Lord, and He will take care of you.” (Psalm
55:22)
K-1st: “The Lord is trustworthy in all He promises and faithful in all He Does.”
(Psalm 145:13)
2nd-3rd: “Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong.”
(1 Corinthians 16:13)
4th-5th: “Obey Me, and I will be your God and you will be My people. Walk in
obedience to all I command you, so that it may go well with you.” (Jeremiah 7:23)
