Take a minute to pray for the unsaved moms who will receive a Mother’s Day Basket as part of our churchwide outreach, that they will be introduced to Jesus and moved closer to the day the come to him in repentance and saving faith!
This Sunday (9:30am) is your opportunity to start the process to become a member of Blue Ridge or to learn more about us. Come to the class during the 9:30 hour in the library.
This Sunday is also the day to pick up your Basket of Blessing and an opportunity to support our mission service term to Normandy at another French lunch! Details below.
Parents of youth, remember to come to a brief parent meeting this Wednesday at 7:00pm!
Pick up your Basket of Blessing – Sunday
If you requested a basket last week, this Sunday is the day to pick it up! Please deliver your basket to the special mom next week prior to Mother’s Day. Let’s keep praying for how God is working to bless moms who do not yet know Jesus!

The Skin of Contending
Pastor Jack closed out our study of Jude with the application of verses 20-25, which provide exhortation to “build up, pray in, keep in, and wait for.” These concepts unpack into this week’s big idea: Be deliberate to cultivate your faith for your yourself and others, and trust God with your path. Listen to “The Skin of Contending.”
