Membership orientation & celebration – July 21
Do you consider BRBC your church home? Then come to a special after-noon orientation designed not only to get started on the membership process, but to give you time to work thru the materials and finish that same day! Sunday/July 21, 2:00-5:30pm in the quad. Please RSVP to Brittany so we can plan ().
Baby Shower – July 24
Ladies, please join us for a baby shower honoring Amy George & Natalie Hackworth on Wednesday/July 24, 6:30-8:30pm at the home of Suzette Graves. This is for all BRBC women (16 years & above), regardless whether you know the moms—come for fellowship! RSVP and see gift lists on Blue Ridge Connect.
Sunday service volunteer highlight
Are you friendly? Love to help people feel welcome? The Welcome team needs you! Many, many volunteers make each Sunday morning happen at BRBC—one way in particular is by identifying visitors, assisting them during their first visits here, and being a welcoming presence to everyone as they arrive. Details: One service only, each Sunday for one month, on a 3-month rotation. We have several open spots to fill heading into the fall. Please consider joining this service team. For more info on what’s required and how the schedule rotation works, contact Brittany Paist ().
Praying together: Summer missions
This Sunday we’ll pray for and commission our teens and families leading and hosting Backyard Bible Clubs right here in our community from July 8-19. Let’s also be praying together for others being SENT from us this summer to share the gospel: staff from our church family working at Camp Highroad and our short-term team serving families with disabilities at Joni & Friends camp. Click here for specific prayer points to use as a reminder!
Living Forward
Continuing in a summer series on “The Holiness of God” from the book of Isaiah, Pastor Jack taught from Isaiah 2 that as followers of Jesus, we are simply to be today what we will be in the kingdom. Listen to “Living Forward.”
