VRBC MEN'S MINISTRY NEWS

Hey guys, we are excited to let you know there are lots of exciting things happening in the VRBC Men's Ministry! Check out these highlights:
 
MEN'S BREAKFAST: SATURDAY, MARCH 2, 7:45 AM
Join us in the Seminar Room for great food and a chance to connect with other VRBC guys of all ages! No reservation is needed. Just come and bring a friend!  (Teenage sons are welcome too!)
 
MEN'S BIBLE STUDY: TUESDAYS, 6:00 TO 7:00 AM
Did you know that each week a group of guys meets on Tuesday mornings at VRBC to study the Bible, pray, and encourage one another? We'd love to have you join us anytime! The group meets from 6:00 to 7:00 am on Tuesdays in the Conference Room (near the south entrance).
 
MEN'S LEADERSHIP TEAM
We're in the midst of putting together a team of guys to lead and serve in the area of Men's Ministry for the coming year. This group will help plan and execute ways for VRBC guys to connect with one another for fun, encouragement, community, and more. If you're interested in finding out more about being a part of this group, email John Hewlett at [email protected].

For more information about any of these activities, please contact John Hewlett at [email protected].
FOLLOW JESUS IN BAPTISM
SUNDAY | MARCH 3 | 9:30 AND 11:00 AM

On Sunday, March 3, we will celebrate baptism in both of our morning worship services, and we would love for you to be a part of it! If you are a follower of Jesus but have never been baptized, this is a great opportunity to take that step. If God has been nudging you to be baptized, we'd love to visit with you about it! For more information, check the box on Sunday's Connection Card or  contact John Hewlett at [email protected].


GIVING AND ATTENDANCE TRENDS 
AND BUDGET UPDATE

In an effort to keep our congregation better informed on the state of current congregational giving and attendance trends, and in response to some good feedback we've received, we will now be posting the previous months' numbers to our website for quick and easy viewing. CLICK HERE. This information will be regularly updated on the second week of each month.

As you will notice, over the previous month we are seeing positive trends in the attendance and grow group attendance numbers but our congregational giving is lagging behind. Please be in prayer over this. Each year as we put together a congregational budget, we plan on potentialities if actual giving comes in above or below the anticipated budget. In collaboration with our Church Council and Finance HR Committee, our ministries are now operating on a cut-back (reduced) budget by 5% in line with current giving patterns and projections. For more information on the reductions, CLICK HERE. If or when giving rises, we will reevaluate and adjust budget and spending levels in line with actual contributions. If you have any questions, please email Jordan Schumacher, Executive Pastor, at  [email protected], or Donna Blankenship, Business Administrator, at  [email protected].
