[01/01/20]   **THE HISTORY OF
WATCH NIGHT SERVICE**

Many of you who live or grew up in Black communities in the United States have probably heard of “Watch Night Services,” the gathering of the faithful in church on New Year’s Eve.

The service usually begins anywhere from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. and ends at midnight with the entrance of the New Year. Some folks come to church first, before going out to celebrate.
For others, church is the only New Year’s Eve event. Like many others, I always assumed that Watch Night was a fairly standard Christian religious service — made a bit more Afro centric because that’s what happens when elements of Christianity become linked with the Black Church. Still, it seemed that predominately White Christian churches did not include Watch Night services on their calendars, but focused instead on Christmas Eve programs. In fact, there were instances where clergy in mainline denominations wondered aloud about the propriety of linking religious services with a secular holiday like New Year’s Eve.

However, there is a reason for the importance of New Year’s Eve services in African American congregations.

🔸️ The Watch Night Services in Black communities that we celebrate today can be traced back to gatherings on December 31, 1862, also known as “Freedom’s Eve.”
🔸 ️On that night, Blacks came together in churches and private homes all across the nation, anxiously awaiting news that the Emancipation Proclamation actually had become law.
🔸️ Then, at the stroke of midnight, it was January 1, 1863, and all slaves in the Confederate States were declared legally free .
🔸️When the news was received, there were prayers, shouts and songs of joy as people fell to their knees and thanked God.
🔸️Black folks have gathered in churches annually on New Year’s Eve ever since, praising God for bringing us safely through another year.

It’s been 145 years since that first Freedom’s Eve and many of us were never taught the African American history of Watch Night, but tradition still brings us together at this time every year to celebrate
“how we got over.”
HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM BRIDGE TO LIFE

Sunday morning inspiration!

We all need God's grace and mercy daily. Black, white, green and orange. Even the young and old. Mercy takes us to the path of forgiveness, while Grace leads to reconciliation. It doesn't matter if you make many or few mistakes in life, you can find grace and peace in God. Accept Christ as your Lord and Saviour, confess your sins, and ask for forgiveness. In his mercy, God does not give us punishment we deserve (hell). In His grace, God gives us the gift that we do not deserve (heaven). Mercy is a compassionate love to the weak, and grace is a generous love to the unworthy.
THANK YOU LORD FOR YOUR GRACE & MERCY
Have a blessed week!

The Bridge to Life CFC Family would like to wish our Sheperd, our Pastor, Jiles R. King, Sr., a Happy Birthday! Thank you Father God for another year of life.

Pastor,
You are one that is always willing to give all of you for the flock and we are blessed to have you leading us. There are so many people that we come across every day of our lives but some of them influence our lives in a way that other people do not. Thank you for always being that positive influence and always being there. You have demonstrated that being righteous is the best way to live. So here's to the mighty man of God who has guided us out of some of our darkest times and showed us the right way. We appreciate you and we are honored to celebrate another year of life with you. May God continue to bless you with many more to come. Happy Birthday Pastor! We love you.

When we discipline ourselves to listen more than we talk, we can learn a lot. Big talkers are hard to teach. Wise people have learned that more wisdom can be gained by listening, observing, and not rushing to judgment. Also, God does not tell us to never experience anger. He tells us not to sin through the expression of our anger. Only by faith can we process our anger. If we express anger apart from faith, we sin. God’s Word always shows us the best way, and when we follow it, we are blessed.
Have a blessed week!
