Is BRBC Your Church Home? – February 4
Consider making this the year you covenant with us in membership! Membership allows you to show your connection with and bless our church family by serving in deeper ways. Come to the next Membership Introduction class to get started, or just come to learn more about BRBC. Contact Brittany with questions or to sign up (.
BRBC Worship Security Team
Did you know that our church has a security team and a policy concerning weapons on the premises? We do! Our team is comprised of both armed and unarmed volunteers. Team members who carry a concealed weapon on BRBC premises must meet three criteria: they must be a church member, an active law enforcement officer or a Virginia concealed carry permit holder, and they must have been authorized to carry by BRBC leadership. Virginia law requires that all three criteria are met. For concerns or questions regarding the BRBC weapons policy, contact elder Alan Bigler (). Should you have a desire to join our Security ministry, contact Michael Horner ().
Praying Together
Praise God for the 42 students, 8 host homes, and 8 small group leaders who will be attending and leading the DNow retreat this weekend. Let’s pray that God will bless our high school students, make their faith their own, and use them in powerful ways to display His grace to others!
Our Identity in Christ
Continuing in our “Discipleship of the Heart” series, Pastor Jack exhorted us from Ephesians 2:1-10 to live as new creations, in the wonderful new identity God has given us. He has made us alive to Himself, and this has an amazing impact on us moment by moment each day! Listen to “Our Identity in Christ.”
