TOWN HALL MEETING | TONIGHT |
JUNE 10 | 6:30 PM
Toward the end of 2019, in response to our changing office staffing status, our Church Council assembled a Staffing Recommendation Team (SRT) to review our current organizational structure and determine whether any changes or adjustments would be beneficial. Working faithfully and diligently alongside the Church Council, the team has spent the last several months researching, praying, and preparing a proposal for changes to our staffing arrangement.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
On Sunday, May 31, during our worship services, the SRT made a formal recommendation.

HERE
We are excited to let you know that we will be re-launching our in-person worship services THIS Sunday, June 14. After a volunteer training this past week, we are opening up to a limited number of families for a single service at 9:30 am on Sunday, June 14. Online registration will be required for in-person attendance to ensure we are able to keep everyone safe and comfortable; click here for details and to get registered. There is limited capacity so sign up soon! If our registration fills up, you may sign up for the waiting list and you will be notified if a spot opens.
The experience will feel a bit different . . . we'll sit in a socially distanced way, and we'll also request that you wear a mask while entering, exiting, or singing. There will also be no childcare, kids' ministry, student ministry, or on-campus adult Grow Groups during this service. But we know it will be a blessing to see each other and worship together! For those who are in a higher risk category, or for those who are not yet comfortable worshiping in person, our live stream worship will continue to be available at 9:30 and 11:00 am at
vrbc.net/live
.
See you soon!

SACK SUMMER HUNGER: Volunteer every Saturday morning this summer from June 6 through August 8 at VRBC from 9:00 to 11:00 am to deliver weekly nutritious food sacks for Valley Ranch

We ask that you wear masks and practice social distancing whenever possible.
SCHOOL BACKPACKS: On Saturday, August 15, we will be delivering backpacks with school supplies, and praying for the children as they prepare to return 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.

"GOD THROUGHOUT MY DAY" CONTINUES
It's been said there are two kinds of people: morning people, and people who hate morning people! While it's true that we're all different when it comes to our natural rhythms, one thing that's true of
all
of us is that the different times of the day provide us with different opportunities and vulnerabilities in our spiritual lives. The good news is that God's power and presence are available 24/7/365! In this series, we'll talk about how to intentionally open ourselves to God's presence throughout every part of our day.
If you missed last week's sermon about "God When I Wake," click here to watch or listen. Join us this Sunday at
vrbc.net/live at 9:30 or 11:00 am to learn more!
