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 ().
