S1:E2 "Behind the Scenes"
|
|
An evil villain. An unlikely hero. A miraculous escape and a daunting journey. It sounds like the premise for a new Netflix series, but it's actually the true story of the Israelites' journey in the book of Exodus! This spring, we'll be "binge-watching" this story together, and not only will we be entertained, we will be changed! Join us this Sunday as we continue the journey!
How to connect:
- Worship services: Weekly messages from Exodus--In-person at 9:30 am on Sundays or online on-demand.
- Grow Groups: Weekly conversations about Exodus--You can get signed up at vrbc.net/grow.
- At home: Daily readings/devotions--Online at vrbc.net/exodus or on the VRBC app.
- Family ministries--Click here to find out about all the opportunities for parents to engage with their children and students at home during our Exodus series.

SPRING GROW GROUPS ARE UNDERWAY
Let's face it . . . this pandemic is tough! Many of us have either been sick ourselves or had loved ones sick, and even those who have stayed physically healthy are struggling due to the isolation and anxiety that this season has brought.
With all the tough things going on, it's easy to just curl up on the couch, turn on Netflix, and hope for everything to get better! But God has made us for more than Netlix . . . he's made us for community. We are designed to connect with others! And even in this difficult circumstance, Grow Groups are a great way to do that.
We have all kinds of groups -- online, in-person, and hybrid -- at all different times during the week. Check out all the available groups here or by clicking the logo and sign up today!

SUNDAY | FEBRUARY 7 | 9:30 AM
Join us on Sunday, February 7, for another outdoor worship service! At 9:30 am, we'll worship together on the south parking lot. Following the service, we'll have activities for kids, students, and adult Grow Groups. See you there! Note: If weather forces a postponement to the following weekend, we will post info on the website and communicate through app notification and email.

SUNDAY | JANUARY 31 | 9:30 AM
During our worship service on Sunday, January 31, we will be celebrating Communion. To participate at home, you'll need to have just a couple of things on hand: bread or crackers and grape juice or water.

REGISTRATION IS ONGOING
After much prayer, research, and consultation with health and safety experts, VRBC Weekday Preschool is excited to announce that we are currently offering three preschool options:
- Option 1: In-person
- Option 2: Hybrid (virtual + a social opportunity)
- Option 3: Curriculum only (online content & packets for use at home)
We want to assure you that the safety of your children is of utmost importance to us. This summer, in coordination with the other preschools in Coppell, we developed a comprehensive COVID-19 Safety and Response Plan as required by the State of Texas. Details on in-person, hybrid, and curriculum preschool options as well as the Safety and Response Plan are available on our website. We feel that this plan addresses the majority of concerns that parents may have regarding our response to COVID-19.
Registration for preschool is currently in progress. To register, visit the preschool website. If you have additional questions, please call Sarah Waters or Anna Hazelrigg at 972-304-8444.

CORNERSTONE CLOTHES CLOSET
SECOND SATURDAY OF THE MONTH
Help meet basic needs of the homeless population in South Dallas through our partnership with Cornerstone Baptist Church by serving in their Clothes Closet and shower facility. VRBC has committed to staff the Cornerstone Clothes Closet on the second Saturday of each month. Volunteers accompany people through the Cornerstone Clothes Closet and help them select clothing while developing friendships. Volunteers also clean and organize the Clothes Closet, wash and fold towels, and clean the shower area. Children ages 6 and over are welcome to help. Please sign up children ages 6 to 14 as a "+1" comment next to an adult's name rather than in a separate sign-up. The Clothes Closet is located at 2711 South Ervay, Dallas, TX, near the intersection of Al Lipscomb Way and Ervay. It is the white, one-story building with the large cross. Volunteering lasts from approximately 10:00 am to 1:00 pm. We meet at VRBC at 9:20 am in the north parking lot (facing Belt Line) of VRBC to caravan down to Cornerstone, or you can meet us there at 10:00 am. Click here to sign up or contact Landa Parker at 214-793-2919 for more information.
