Dear Church Family,
It is with great joy and anticipation that The Bridge Church of the Nazarene has elected Pastor Dan and Jill Quagliata to the Lead Pastorate by an overwhelming 98% of the vote. Pastor Dan, Jill and Nicholas plan to join us in early 2012. Please pray for Pastor Dan and his family as they tie up loose ends at their church in Michigan and for the search for housing on Long Island.
At this time, we want to express our gratitude and appreciation to our District Superintendent Rev. Art Alexander, the Pastoral Search Committee and our Church Board for all of their prayers, countless hours of hard work and diligence in providing a pastoral candidate that met ALL the requirements of our Pastoral Profile–Praise God!
In the meantime, Pastor Joe will continue to serve as interim Pastor until Pastor Dan arrives. We are extremely blessed and so grateful that Pastor Joe stepped in to lead us during this past year.
Great things lie ahead for us at The Bridge. BELIEVE IT!
Immanuel,
Pastor Christine Paolino
Associate Pastor
“‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the LORD,
‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.
You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.’”
Jeremiah 29:11-13 (NIV)

Congratulations to The Bridge congregation! We hope that you feel blessed to have both Pastor Dan and Jill within your faith family as we have had the pleasure of having them in our faith family. While we were sad to see them go, we are happy that you have found them to lead you in your journey to the Kingdom. Many blessings to all!
