VRBC WORSHIP CHOIR
SINGS NEXT WEEK!
 
Several times each semester, our Worship Choir leads a portion of the Sunday morning service.  Our next time to lead is next Sunday, February 19th, and we'd love for you to be a part of it!  No experience is necessary - just a desire to worship Jesus and serve the congregation.  Rehearsal is from 6:45-8:00pm on Wednesday, February 15th.  For more information or to RSVP, email John at jhewlett@vrbc.net.   
GO ON MISSION THIS SPRING BREAK!
RIO GRANDE VALLEY | MARCH 14-19

Spring break is almost here, and it's a great time to come along and help us build a home for a family  in PeƱitas, a colonia west of McAllen, Texas!  In this part of Texas, there is desperate poverty and great oppression through the cult of Santa Muerte.

Skills sets that would be helpful include experience in construction, electrical, plumbing, and all other building skills. Even if you don't know anything about home construction, we'd love to have you join us - just be willing to learn and to work!   We will also support our church plant by working with Pastor Refugio to do outreach in the local community.
