Bless Your Neighbor church wide outreach – October 14-28
During our outreach this month, we want to intentionally connect with those God has placed around us and ask, “Who is God calling me to bless?” Be thinking of who in your life you are already influencing, or could be influencing, toward God. Stay tuned for info from Pastor Jack this Sunday on how to participate and check out the bulletin flyer!
Visit a Blue Ridge Connect kiosk! – October 21
Next Sunday is the day to make an easy transition over to our new online church community, Blue Ridge Connect. Many of you are already using Blue Ridge Connect via kids’ check-in and by receiving weekly Ridge Notes emails—now make the transition official and create your login. Make it easy on yourself and get logged in at a kiosk in the upstairs lobby next Sunday/October 21! Questions? Email Brittany.
