GROW GROUP SUMMER SESSION
REGISTER TODAY!
GROUPS BEGIN THIS SUNDAY!
Registration is underway for the Grow Group summer session! We have a ton of great groups planned for the summer. Many groups will focus on sermon-based content, helping you take the Sunday sermons further; others will focus on topical content such as marriage, mental health, grandparenting, parenting, the Holy Spirit, and much more! For a complete listing of Grow Groups, check out the VRBC app or visit us online at
vrbc.net/grow
.
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. We have groups that meet at various times and locations throughout the week, so sign up for one today! You can find out more about Grow Groups online at
vrbc.net/grow or on the VRBC app.
You can register for a Grow Group anytime at
vrbc.net/grow, or even easier, on the VRBC app! It's that easy!
REMINDER: Each Grow Group member needs to register for each session, even if you are planning on staying in the same group. This helps us ensure that our records are up to date. Thanks for your help!

EMILY BELL SCHOLARSHIP GOLF TOURNAMENT
NOTIFICATION: TOURNAMENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED
Thanks so much to all of you who signed up to participate in the VRBC Golf Tournament benefiting the Emily Bell Scholarship
!
Unfortunately, we have decided to cancel the tournament this year. Due to recent rains the Army Corp of Engineers is releasing water from nearby lakes, causing flooding to the course; Riverchase has been reduced to nine holes of golf for the foreseeable future. We did not feel this presented us with an acceptable golf experience and no suitable alternative date was available.
If you choose, your $90 can go directly to the Emily Bell Scholarship Fund and your payment will be a charitable contribution. If you would like to receive a refund or for more information, please
contact Buzz Lupton at 214-802-0920.
Thanks for your continuing support of the scholarship fund!

"CAMEO" SERIES BEGINS THIS SUNDAY
FREE MOVIE TICKET FOR ALL FIRST-TIME GUESTS!
To celebrate the beginning of the summer blockbuster movie season, we're kicking off a new teaching series on June 2 called "Cameo." Each week for three weeks, we'll be taking a look at a character in the Bible who makes a short appearance but has a big impact. And we'll talk about how, although we may not be the "star of the show," each of us has an important role to play as well!
To make this fun and to bless our guests with a fun outing with their family or friends, we are giving away a free movie ticket to every first-time guest who attends one of the "Cameo" worship services (June 2, 9, or 16). If you've been thinking of inviting someone to church with you, this is the perfect opportunity! Make plans to bring a guest with you as we kick off "Cameo"!
