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. 2nd service helped needed particularly! 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 ()

God Is Not A Rabbit’s Foot
Continuing in a summer series on “The Holiness of God” from the book of Isaiah, Pastor Jack taught from Isaiah 1:10-20. This passage teaches us that religious ritual without the right heart attitude is meaningless. God wants our hearts, and a heart transformation begins to show the very heart of God! Listen to “God is not a rabbit’s foot.
