Posted on 01/04/2012 by Rich Shipe

Due to the snow and ice the retreat has been cancelled. Stay tuned for a reschedule date.

Women’s One-day RETREAT RESCHEDULED — The Retreat that was cancelled on Saturday due to bad weather has been rescheduled to this coming Saturday, January 28.

Register online here.

Calling all Blue Ridge women! In an effort to build fellowship, encourage our walk with the Lord and just have some good old fashioned fun, the Women’s Ministry Committee invites you to our a One-Day Retreat on January 21 right here in our Blue Ridge auditorium. The topic is “Living Out The Gospel” and it promises to be uplifting, encouraging and challenging!

Two of our pastors’ wives, Karen Gill and Christy Shipe will encourage us to put Christ first as we live our daily lives. Along with these wonderful women, we will hear from a panel of women on how they practically work out Christ’s call, willingly and obediently in daily life. And the day is completed with additional testimonies and great worship music led by Abby and Anna Parker. Of course, fellowship and laughter are always included in our times together!

So if you have been attending here for years, “We want YOU!” If you are new to Blue Ridge, “We want YOU!” If you are under 25, “We want YOU!” If you are over 75 or any age in-between, “We want YOU!” This is a time to get to know other Blue Ridge women and grow in a deeper love for our Savior.

The program goes from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., followed by a fellowship and dessert time until 5:00. Registration is $20 per person which includes a great lunch from Panera Bread. You can register online through Blue Ridge Community Builder, and in the foyer on Sunday, January 8 and 15. For additional information, contact Heidi Berry (540-338-9711).

An Adventure with God

Posted on 08/28/2011 by Media Admin

By Michelle Essex

Let me take you to an African village in Malawi. We show up, uninvited by the villagers but welcomed as if we are royalty from some foreign land. One lady is spreading freshly milled corn flour on a bamboo mat so that it will dry in the sun. Children are scurrying around as we enter their village. It is a lovely warm day so everyone is comfortable as we gather between a cluster of mud huts. To show hospitality the Malawians seat us as honored guests on short wooden stools. About 25 villagers gather and sit on the ground. Pastor Zimba, our interpreter, introduces us. (more…)

Childcare Opportunity for LIFE Groups

Posted on 08/11/2011 by Christy Shipe

The LIFE Group ministry at Blue Ridge is an essential part of our mission as a church. Young people have the opportunity to serve in this important and exciting ministry by offering their gifts and talents to care for children ages 12 and under at our LIFE Group meetings.

The LIFE Group Childcare Worker Program is open to young women ages 14 and up. We see this as a fantastic opportunity for them to build up the rest of the body by making adult discipleship possible within our LIFE Groups. This program also provides an opportunity for young women to invest spiritually in the children under their care. In addition, this program will pay young women for their services as a token of our appreciation for their time and investment. (Pay is $15 / week for each 2-hour LIFE Group session.) (more…)
