This Sunday morning, our Cochabamba short-term missions team will be sharing how BRBC can come alongside and send them to Bolivia to build a house for a family of believers! More details here or below.

Are you coming? See deadlines below for events that may apply to you – upcoming visitor connection lunch for folks new to BRBC, our spring workday at the church, another baptism celebration service, and more!

Cochabamba Team: Help build a house – March 18
The Cochabamba 2018 team needs your help! Missionary-pastor Joe Holman has identified for us a family of Bolivian believers who would greatly benefit from being built a home. We’re supplying the time and labor during our short-term trip this May, but we’re asking our BRBC family to help enable us to cover material costs. Our $4,000 goal also provides funds for VBS supplies & evangelism campaign to an impoverished community. Please consider bringing a donation, large or small! (Give $50 or more & receive a handlettered Moleskine journal.) Donate via check or donate on the City—indicate “Coch2018 team” on memo line or donate via the City fund.

Spring Workday @ Church – March 24
We still need more help next Saturday, March 24, 8:30am-2:00pm – please come for as much or as little time you can give! This is our semiannual opportunity to work shoulder-to-shoulder together AND give our church building the refreshing it needs after hard use, and also prepare it for Easter! Please mark Saturday, March 24, 8:30am-2:00pm on your calendars and come out for as much or as little time you can give. Family friendly, tasks for all ages, outdoors and indoors.

Visitor Connection Lunch – March 25
Are you new to BRBC within the past 6 months? Join the leadership at a special lunch to welcome you! Details are Sunday, March 25 at 12:30pm, downstairs in the quad classroom. We do need your help—RSVP deadline is this Sunday, March 18 by emailing Brittany () or by listing the names of those attending & contact info on a comment card (found in the back of the sanctuary chairs) and drop it in the offering plate.

Good Friday Service & Easter – March 30 & April 1
Join us on Easter weekend as we celebrate a “Glorious Day”! We will remember Jesus’ death on Good Friday, March 30, 7:00pm at a brief service for the whole family; childcare is not available. We will celebrate His resurrection on Easter Sunday with identical 9:30am and 11:00am services. No Sunday School; childcare for ages 3 and under for the entirety of each service; ages 4-8 dismissed after worship in each service.

Baptism Service & Celebration – April 1 deadline
Our last baptism service was an awesome time of worship, testimonies, and (ice cream) fellowship! Mark your calendars for the next one on Sunday, April 22, 6:30pm. To participate, email Brittany () or Regina for a kid’s workbook (). April 1 is the deadline to sign up or have your child complete the baptism book.

Kingdom Calling: Baskets of Blessings Outreach
Ladies, do you have a heart to bless moms in our area who may not yet know Jesus? We need some extra hands willing to help out on a limited basis with a few tasks to make our next churchwide outreach a reality! Please talk with Brittany () to help assemble or pass out baskets.

Staying on Target
Taking a quick departure from our current sermon series on “Discipleship of the Heart,” Pastor Jack continued our “Kingdom Calling” focus, exhorting us from Colossians 1:28 and 2 Timothy 2:1-6. There’s an aspect to the kingdom of heaven that happens now. How do we live today in response to that? Listen to “Staying on Target.”
