PARENTS NIGHT OUT
FRIDAY | JULY 26 | 6:00 TO 8:30 PM

"Parents Night Out--Kids Night In" gives busy parents a chance to have a night on their own and lets their children enjoy a fun evening at VRBC. While parents enjoy a kid-free evening out, kids will have a great night of fun activities, games, and more! 

"Parents Night Out--Kids Night In" will be held in the VRBC Children's Area, from 6:00 to 8:30 pm on July 26. Please feed your children prior to dropping them off. Infants through (just finished) 5th-grade children are welcome to attend. Sign up for this event by  clicking here . Deadline to sign up is Wednesday, July 24 at midnight.

VALLEY RANCH BACKPACK DRIVE
BEGINS THIS SUNDAY, JULY 28

Each year during VRBC's  Backpack Drive, we deliver backpacks filled with school supplies to some of our  neighboring children at Tom Landry Elementary School and the surrounding area  who need assistance. This year our goal is to fill 175 backpacks, which will be given  to students at Landry Elementary and the families we have been serving through  Sack Summer Hunger. The church will provide the backpacks, and the  congregation is asked to provide the needed school supplies. 

Empty backpacks will  be available for pick-up in the church lobby after the worship service on Sunday,  July 28. A school supply list will be enclosed for your use in purchasing school  supplies. Feel free to pick up and fill as many backpacks as you would like! Please  return filled backpacks to the church on Sunday, August 4 or 11. For more  information, contact Amy Wilkins at awilkins@vrbc.net.
"GUARANTEED" CONTINUES  THIS SUNDAY
SUNDAY | JULY 28 | 9:30 AND 11 AM

In our marketing-driven culture, filled with YouTube commercials and endless pop-up ads, we are all too familiar with the "guarantee." We constantly see phrases like "30-day money-back guarantee," or "Act now . . . satisfaction guaranteed!" As followers of Jesus, though, we have a set of guarantees more outlandish and more reliable than any marketing gimmick to be found online. God has extended a series of "one-way promises" to us--not because we bought something, but because of his grace. Join us on Sunday mornings in July as we explore the sure promises of God!

Be sure to check in and share one of your favorite promises from Scripture on the lobby display this Sunday!!
VOLUNTEER TO HELP "SACK SUMMER HUNGER"
EVERY SATURDAY THROUGH AUGUST 10 | 9 TO 11 AM

Volunteer every Saturday morning this summer through August 10 at VRBC from 9:00 to 11:00 am to assemble and deliver weekly nutritious food sacks for Valley Ranch families in need.

On the final Saturday, August 10, we will be delivering backpacks with school supplies, and praying for the children as they prepare to return back to school.

SERVE OPPORTUNITY: This is a great serve opportunity for everyone, including Grow Groups, families with young children, and students. It is also a wonderful opportunity to invite your non-Christian friends to serve alongside you, so they can see God's love in action.
