Sunday service volunteer highlight
Do you like serving behind-the-scenes? The Attendance Team needs you! Many, many volunteers make each Sunday morning happen at BRBC—one way in particular is by taking an attendance count at church to give us data to work with. Details: One service only, each Sunday for one month, on a 4-month rotation. Please consider serving on this team! For more info and how the schedule rotation works, contact Brittany Paist ()

Praying together: Summer missions
Let’s keep praying for our short-term missions team in Brooklyn, New York City this week, returning home on Sunday.

Weighed Down
Pastor Jack began a new summer sermons series on “The Holiness of God” from the book of Isaiah. He taught that Isaiah 1:1-9 is a wake-up call, showing us that to choose sin is to despise God in that moment. Listen to “Weighed Down.”
