SERVE ON THE WELCOME TEAM!

We are excited to announce a significant expansion of the VRBC Welcome Team. This team of volunteers ensures that every person who comes to VRBC on a Sunday morning has a great experience, beginning from when they drive into the parking lot until they are seated in the worship service. The first word of our mission statement is inviting, and this team helps us create a warm and inviting atmosphere for everyone who attends VRBC. 
 
With this expansion, we are now blessed with many new openings for people to serve. We need volunteers in the parking lot, at our entrances, in the lobby, at the Welcome Center, at the kids' check-in area, in our Hospitality (breakfast) Ministry, and in the Sanctuary.  

If you enjoy smiling, meeting people, and sharing the love of Christ through a warm welcome--whether you've been worshiping at VRBC for twenty years or one week, we'd love to have you on the team! For more information, email John Hewlett at jhewlett@vrbc.net.

BREAKING FREE: "SEEKING DIRECTION"
GROW GROUP QUESTIONS AVAILABLE ONLINE

For the last few weeks, we've been following the Israelites from captivity in Egypt to freedom in the Promised Land.  Along the way, we're learning how God is at work in our lives to help us break free from things that are enslaving us. We're also exploring how to apply those truths as we dig deeper into God's Word and build true relationships in our weekly Grow Groups.
