Come one, come all—this is a night for the whole family. Whether you’ve been part of the Brydges Centre journey from the beginning or are just now hearing the story, you’re invited to gather with us for an evening of joy-filled worship, community, and celebration.

Let’s lift our hearts and voices together in praise to the One who has made every step of the journey possible—our faithful, loving God. For 30 years, He has been writing a beautiful story through the Brydges Centre: a story of rescue, redemption, healing, and hope for hundreds of children in Kenya. And now, we get to celebrate that story together.

With the powerful, Spirit-led worship of Tonia Hughes, we’ll fill the night air with songs of gratitude and reverence—because He is worthy.

Why You Should Come:

• To celebrate 30 years of ministry and miracles
• To worship with joy and thanksgiving
• To gather as a family of faith under the stars
• To be reminded of God’s unshakable faithfulness

This night is free and open to the public—no tickets, no pressure, just come. Bring your spouse, your kids, your neighbors, and your friends. Come as you are and leave refreshed by the presence of God and the love of His people.

Let’s gather in joy. Let’s sing in unity. Let’s worship our worthy King—together.

A Family-Friendly Event for All Ages

Join us for an unforgettable afternoon of celebration, connection, and purpose as we mark 30 years of ministry at the Brydges Centre! This is more than just a fundraiser—it’s a family event that welcomes everyone into the story of God’s faithfulness and the beautiful legacy He continues to write in the lives of children in Kenya.

Since its founding, over 650 orphaned, abandoned, or abused children have been given hope, healing, and everything they need to thrive. With a heart rooted in the Gospel, the Brydges Centre gives children a chance to dream, thrive, and discover their God-given purpose.

What to Expect:

• Delicious Food
• Indoor and Outdoor Games for the Whole Family
• Our Traditional African Market – shop handcrafted items and support local Kenyan artisans
• Pickleball Tournament!
  Yes, we’re bringing the heat—and the fun—with a Pickleball Tournament you won’t want to miss! Whether you’re a seasoned player or new to the game, we’d love to have you join.

Come celebrate 30 years of transformation and be a part of what God is continuing to do through the Brydges Centre. Bring your family, invite your friends, and enjoy a day filled with purpose, joy, and community.

Together, we can give more children the opportunity to live, dream, and know the love of Christ.

Our volunteer team creates gatherings and events in the Minneapolis / St. Paul area to introduce people to the mission and children of the Brydges Centre. The generous prayers and financial support that comes from supporters provides for all of the care and education of the children.

Our volunteer Events Committee hosts large gatherings at venues like TopGolf and other locations that include music, videos featuring the Centre or children, and an authentic Kenyan marketplace filled with a myriad of items for purchase.

We also support individuals, families, and corporations that would like to host their own gatherings of any size. We provide everything you need to share the mission and work of the Brydges Centre, including media, materials, gifts for sale, and even a volunteer to work directly with you from the team!
