July 1 service, Kings Dominion, visitor lunch + Loving like Jesus

This Sunday, come with your heart prepared to celebrate communion together and remember how Jesus’ sacrifice changes everything for us! We’ll also hear from our Vacation Bible School kids for a special treat. 

Remember that a week from Sunday is our special joint service on July 1 at 11:00am only – read more below!

11:00am Service Only – July 1
Just a reminder that on Sunday, July 1 we will meet together at 11:00am only for a joint service. Children ages 4-11 will enjoy a special morning of activities in Ridge Kids with Regina Gossage, with dismissal from the worship service after the singing. Ages 3 and under will have care provided the entire service as normal. (Parents, please be sure to get kids’ check-in stickers). Come and be encouraged to see our local body at Blue Ridge Bible Church all together!

Living Successfully by Loving Our Wives
Tim Murphy, chairman of our elder board, preached from Proverbs 2:1-6 and then expanded into Ephesians 5:17-30 to discover how Christ loves the church: unconditionally, sacrificially, tenderly, and redemptively. This message particularly applies to husbands and fathers, but also for all of us! Listen to “Living Successfully by Loving Our Wives.
