VRBC CHURCH FAMILY GATHERING
TONIGHT | MAY 1 | 7:00 TO 8:30 PM
Everyone is invited to this all-church family gathering! We will enjoy dinner and fellowship, while we share stories of what God has been up to in the life of our church over the last few months. We will also report on some of the recent feedback that our Church Council and Staff have received from church members, and talk about some new ministry ideas that we hope will help move us forward in our shared mission in
the days ahead. Everyone will have the opportunity to weigh in on these ideas and contribute to the discussion, as well as participate in open Q&A.
We look forward to sharing a fun evening together!
Dinner and childcare will be provided. If you have any questions, please contact Jordan Schumacher, Executive Pastor, at
jordans@vrbc.net.

Are you ready to bless others and invest your resources to further God's work in our church, community, and world? You can live out VRBC's mission of inviting diverse and disconnected people to passionately follow Jesus together by building a relational bridge through serving others.
We want every person at VRBC to join a Serve Team, where you will have the opportunity to volunteer and bless others at least once per month. Last week in our Grow Groups we had the opportunity to take a SHAPE Assessment to help discover how God has shaped each of us uniquely to serve.
If you haven't had the chance to complete the SHAPE survey, click HERE to take part.
Learn more about our Serve Team opportunities and sign up to serve at vrbc.net/serveteams. You can also let us know which Serve Team you are interested in on the back of your Connection Card this Sunday during worship.

FOLLOW JESUS IN BAPTISM
SUNDAY | MAY 12 | 9:30 AND 11:00 AM
On Sunday, May 12, 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
jhewlett@vrbc.net.

GROWTH SEMINAR: "DISCOVER YOUR SHAPE"
SUNDAY | MAY 19 | 11:00 AM
The book of Ephesians says that every one of us is God's "workmanship"--a person created in the image of God with a unique SHAPE that equips us to serve others. Join us at 11:00 am on Sunday, May 19, to explore and discuss the unique SHAPE (Spiritual gifts, Heart, Abilities, Personality, and Experiences) that God has given you and how it sets you up to serve.
At the seminar, you'll learn more about how God SHAPEs people and will have the opportunity to discuss the results of your own personal SHAPE assessment with others and potential next steps for you. If you have any questions, please contact Amy Wilkins at
AWilkins@vrbc.net.
