Six BRBC people leave next week for Ghana to participate in the dedication of the five churches that we helped fund. They would like to bless the people there by bringing donated items that are not accessible or affordable to them. Suggested items are: soccer balls, school supplies, OTC medicine, etc. Please bring your donations and drop them in the foyer boxes on Sunday. For more info on what to donate, email Sarah Gill (). Sunday is the last day to do this. Also, please be in prayer for Jack Gill, Sarah Gill, Allen Bozarth, Jon Garber, and David and Breana Parker as they go and represent BRBC in Ghana from December 2 through 10.

Churchwide Caroling in the Community – December 20
Come help us spread glad tidings to our community as we sing Christmas carols in neighborhoods around town and invite them to our Christmas Eve service. We will meet at church at 5:30 p.m., practice a bit, break up in groups for various locations, and then return to the church for cookies and cider, ending at 8:00 p.m. Please sign up on The City so that we have enough song sheets and cookies. Bring the whole family for this great evening together!
Pastor Jack brought our study of the letters to the Thessalonians to a close with questions about “A Non-Illusive Peace. Where do we get peace? Where do we learn about peace? And how do we keep the peace? Download “A Non-Illusive Peace” to find the answers.
