Reaching out over our Gallery of Light, connecting the two sides of our upper level is our Welcome Bridge. The bridge serves both a practical and a symbolic function. Practically, it connects the two sides of the upper level; symbolically, it can remind us of our mission of reaching out and making connections between people and programs. It is our hope that the many different programs of our Center will serve to connect people to one another, invite people from their isolation to and weave a web of connections, living relationships that can strengthen and support the church, the Body of Christ.
                                                          
The word “WELCOME” in some of the many different languages of origin of this local parish should greet visitors as they enter our building. It is our hope that no one will feel a stranger here.
From the Gallery of Light, the Bridge is a continual reminder of our challenge to use our gifts and talents, and take the initiative to reach out in love and friendship to others.
