Clothing Exchange & Giveaway
The clothing exchange is a time to get rid of those clothes that no one in your house is wearing and to share the clothes with others, as well as to clothe your family with the “new” stuff you find. It’s happening here on October 15 & 16, from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. The giveaway is on October 17 from 9:00 a.m. to Noon for the community to share in our abundance. Details for participating are on The City > Calendar > October 15 or contact Courtney Shipe ().
Baby Shower
On October 25, at 2:00 p.m., all BRBC women are encouraged to come together to honor Emily Cook and Baby Andrew, and Bethany Johns and her soon-to-be born daughter at a baby shower hosted by Jan Bode. RSVP on The City or to Jan ().
Praise & Prayer
Join together in thanksgiving for Katey Craig, who is being baptized today. Pray for this young lady to grow in her relationship with Jesus all her days.
Pastor Jack continued in I Thessalonians 5 with “Scent of a Christian” in verses 16-23. He began with some important questions to answer: When it comes to the Gospel, what do you REALLY believe? Does your belief affect your day? What is the “aroma” you leave in a room because of what and how you believe?
