"THE CLIMB" STARTS THIS WEEK!
Welcome to "The Climb"! This spring at VRBC, we are studying the book of Romans together in our worship services and Grow Groups. This letter, written by the Apostle Paul, is one of the most challenging and rewarding books in the Bible.
As part of this journey, we're encouraging every VRBC attender to read through the book of Romans, and w
e've put together a "trail guide" t
o help you along the way.
This guide includes two options for a reading plan, some verses to memorize, and a listing of other helpful resources.
You can get all the details by clicking the image to the right or by clicking "The Climb" on the VRBC app.
Like climbing a mountain, it may seem daunting, but it's worth it! Happy climbing!

THIS SUNDAY | JANUARY 26 |
9:30 & 11:00 AM
On Sunday, January 26, 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!
