EVERYONE SPECIAL OFFERING
NOW THROUGH JANUARY 13, 2019
Stated briefly, the
EveryONE
Special Offering is a call for all at VRBC to live invitationally and give sacrificially with a goal of raising $315,000 to fund four vital global, regional, and local ministry initiatives:
- Reaching the Lost: Extending the reach of our missionaries and mission partners globally, planting new churches regionally, and building relational bridges locally
- Caring for the Poor: Ministering to the pressing physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of underserved people
- Investing in the Next Generation: Reaching our kids for Christ and reaching out to kids and families in our community
- Equipping Our People: Mobilizing all VRBCers to grow as disciples and leaders through catalytic training events and growth opportunities
We have several resources available to help you learn more about the EveryONE Special Offering and this exciting opportunity for all of us to give sacrificially. Will you begin praying now about what God would have you give, over-and-above your regular giving? Allow God to stretch your faith. And know that when EveryONE gives,
EveryONE
is impacted!

IT'S ON THE MOVE!
In order to make room for some upcoming large events, the EveryONE Lobby display has been relocated upstairs. Since we continue to be actively engaged in the EveryONE initiative and the EveryONE Special Offering, the photo display has been moved to an upstairs wall to continue to encourage EveryONE about our initiative. The display will be there for the next several months.
