" A Friend Who Accepts Us"  
EASTER SUNDAY SERVICES
APRIL 1 | 9:30 AND 11:00 AM

With just over four weeks until Easter, we are continuing to observe Lent by focusing on the amazing ways Jesus has extended His friendship to us and by praying that God would use us to extend that friendship to others.
                                                               
INVITE OPPORTUNITY: "Invest and invite."
As we prepare to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ on Easter Sunday, be thinking about building a bridge of friendship and investing in someone you can invite to attend an Easter worship service with you!

SERVE OPPORTUNITIES: "Attend one. Serve one."
We are expecting many guests to visit VRBC on Easter Sunday, so there will be many opportunities to serve our guests with hilariously generous hospitality! Please consider attending one worship service and serving during the other. Visit vrbc.net/serve to find ways you can serve. 

"JESUS, A FRIEND WHO ACCEPTS US"
THIS SUNDAY | 9:30 AND 11:00 AM

Join us this Sunday, and in Grow Groups throughout the week, as we continue the  Jesus, Friend of All teaching series and learn about Jesus, the true friend who accepts us. 

If you missed learning how Jesus is a friend who pursues us and knows us and how we can be a true friend to others, click here to watch previous sermons in this teaching series.

TABLE TO THE CROSS SERVICE
MAUNDY THURSDAY, MARCH 29 | 7:00 PM

Maundy Thursday is a meaningful time to focus on the sacrifice Jesus Christ made on our behalf and is a wonderful way to prepare your heart for the joy of Easter morning. On the evening of March 29, we will follow Jesus through the last twenty-four hours of His life . . . from the Last Supper table all the way to the cross. 

This reflective service will be held at 7:00 pm in the Worship Center.  Children's ministry will be provided for preschool children.  We hope you will join us.



WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE BAPTIZED?
THIS SUNDAY, MARCH 4

Has God has been speaking to you about following Jesus in the waters of baptism? If so, we would love to talk to you!  

There is a great opportunity this Sunday, March 4, to join with other believers being baptized during both worship services.  To find out more, contact John Hewlett at  [email protected] .


FAMILY GAME DAY
