THE PASSION PROJECT
JESUS' PASSION. OUR PURSUIT.
BEGINS TODAY THROUGH EASTER

During the forty days leading up to Easter, we are inviting every VRBC attender to take part in T he Passion Project . Acknowledging that each of us is under construction, the purpose of this project is to allow God to continue His work in us by spending time individually and as a church family to intentionally prepare for the upcoming Easter celebration. Participation in some or all of The Passion Project initiatives will help us to remember Jesus' PASSION and to commit to the PURSUIT of Him together. 

Please take some time individually or as a family to learn about The Passion Project at vrbc.net/passionproject and then commit to joining in!

NEW TEACHING SERIES:  "FAMOUS LAST WORDS"
THIS SUNDAY

Each Sunday through Easter, we are taking a look at Jesus' last words--the final things Jesus said before He died on the cross.  In looking at these last words, we'll learn a lot about who Jesus is and what He thinks is important. And along the way, we hope that some of it rubs off on us as well. 

Last Sunday we explored the astonishing, penetrating, and liberating words, "Father, forgive them." To watch or listen to Pastor Larry's sermon and to access the Grow Group questions, click here.

You don't want to miss this Sunday as we explore another of Jesus' last words: "Paradise."
