Road closures this Sunday! Very important – if you will arrive at church between 8:00-9:00am this Sunday, you will only be able to get here via A St. The Turkey Trot 5k will close Main St in Purcellville. From the west, use 32nd St (690) to A Street; from the east, use the Southern Collector Road. Scroll down here for the road closure map.
A big thank you to the 50 awesome folks who came, served, and enjoyed the fun at last weekend’s church workday!
Fill a shoebox for Operation Christmas Child – November 11 & 18
Our kids and families in Awana once again lead the charge to take this small step to reach boys and girls with the gospel of Jesus all over the world! If you would like to participate, get an empty shoebox, decide if your box is for a boy or girl and what age, fill with gifts, pray for the child receiving the box, and drop your box off November 11 or 18. See packing instructions online.

BRBC Worship Security Team
Did you know that our church has a security team and a policy concerning weapons on the premises? We do! Our team is comprised of both armed and unarmed volunteers. Team members who carry a concealed weapon on BRBC premises must meet three criteria: they must be a church member, an active law enforcement officer or a Virginia concealed carry permit holder, and they must have been authorized to carry by BRBC leadership. Virginia law requires that all three criteria are met. For concerns or questions regarding the BRBC weapons policy, contact elder Alan Bigler (). Should you have a desire to join our Security ministry, contact Michael Horner ().

Achan’s Troubles
Continuing in a series in the book of Joshua called “From Promise to Victory,” Pastor Jack preached from Joshua 7:1-26 that sin ruins the inheritance God has for His people, and He will not tolerate it. We need to agree with God, be aggressive toward our sin, and take action to get rid of it! Listen to “Achan’s Troubles.”
