This Sunday we’ll get to hear an update on our support for Pastor Walid, one of the national missionaries who we support, and Christians and refugees in Syria.

DNow Retreat Help – January 26-28

Also, Pastor David still has a need for host homes (host 5-8 teens in your home for two nights). Contact to help.
Ladies Coffee & Conversation – January 29
Ladies, come out for the next Coffee & Conversation—the winter edition! This is a fellowship for all BRBC women over 16 years of age.

Loving Well
Continuing in a new series on “Discipleship of the Heart,” Pastor Jack preached from I John 4:7-11 & 18-21 on how to love well—we must first understand God’s love for us and then go to Him to fill us with His love, before we pour His love out into the lives of those around us. Listen to “Loving Well.”
