Gospel Project, Promotion Sunday, Fall Schedule – Sept 2
A lot begins next Sunday: Join us at 9:00 before Sunday School for donuts and a fun start to the fall! Sunday School for all ages will occur at 9:30am. All classes use the Gospel Project curriculum, which teaches the beauty of how all Scripture points to Jesus. Parents, this is when your children will move up a year; watch for info on room locations. We encourage all adults to consider being a part of the class with elder Tim Murphy! At the 11:00am service only, Ridge Kids will be dismissed after singing. Go to brbible.org/launch for room locations and full details.

Join us for worship, a ministry year-in-review, votes on elders/deacons/budget, a fun coffee & tea bar, and root beer floats for the kids! 6:30-7:45pm only. We want to pause to note all the great things God has done in and through BRBC in the past year, and also commit the coming year to Him! See the City event to RSVP for childcare please!
