WINTER WEEKEND | JANUARY 17-19
STUDENT REGISTRATION UNDERWAY
Perhaps the most talked-about event of Valley Ranch Student Ministries (VRSM) each year, Winter Weekend (WW) is a growth experience with disciple-making as our focus. Whether you've been a Christian for two months or twelve years or are perhaps just beginning to check out what following Christ is all about, WW is guaranteed to be a spiritual pillar that God can use to help you meet Him and be changed. WW is always a blast, so invite a friend (or two!) to join you. To register and to find out more information, please visit
www.vrbc.net/students. Registration is open through January 8; the cost is $100.

REGISTRATION OPENS JANUARY 5
Would you like to grow in your faith, build new friendships, and strengthen old ones? How about taking the Sunday sermons further, discovering the mission God has for you, and being a part of the great things God is doing at VRBC? If your answer is yes to any of these questions, you need to join a Grow Group! A Grow Group is a group of 10 to 20 people who meet together each week to grow to be more like Jesus, and it's definitely THE BEST way to get connected at VRBC. This spring, we'll be offering tons of great groups at different times throughout the week, so there's sure to be a group that fits your schedule. On January 5, you'll be able to find a complete listing of our spring Grow Group offerings and register for a Grow Group at vrbc.net/grow, or even easier, on the VRBC app!

A NEW TEACHING SERIES COMING JANUARY 5
It's been said that "the pen is mightier than the sword." If you're talking about pure physical power, this statement is ludicrous. But if you're talking about impact . . . each of us has experienced this to be true in our lives. Hurtful words spoken by a parent or a friend can stick with us for years, or even decades. Encouraging words can inspire us to achieve things we never thought possible. Words are powerful! And in this new teaching series that begins on Sunday, January 5, we'll explore what the Bible has to say about "The Power of Words," and how God can use our words as a force for good in our families, our neighborhoods, and the world.

If you are new to VRBC, you are invited to a Newcomers Reception in your honor on Sunday, January 19! At this informal 30-minute gathering after the worship service, you'll have the opportunity to get to know some of our church staff, as well as to meet others who are new to the church. We promise you will receive great hospitality and food, PLUS you'll have a chance to win some cool prizes.
No RSVP is required to attend-just come! Children of all ages are also welcome, so please pick up your children after the worship service and bring them with you to the reception held on the east side of the church lobby.
If you have any questions about the Newcomers Reception, please contact Amy Wilkins, Pastor of Serve & Invite, at
awilkins@vrbc.net
