CHRISTMAS STORE VOLUNTEER SIGNUP
LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE!
Due to COVID-19, a lot of changes for the VRBC Christmas Store have been implemented for 2020. Although it may look a little different this year, we are blessed that we'll still be able to serve both our local community as well as our brothers and sisters from Cornerstone.
Whether gift wrapping is your specialty, hospitality is a favorite pastime, you really like folding clothes, or almost anything in between, we have just the spot for you! Learn more and sign up for all Christmas Store volunteer spots by clicking here. All COVID-19 safety guidelines will be followed.

IN-PERSON WORSHIP SERVICE
SUNDAY | NOVEMBER 8 | 9:30 AM
We have added weekly in-person worship services to our Sunday morning schedule and we'd love to have you join us! Here's how it works:
- We will hold an in-person service each week at 9:30 am.
- No reservations are required.
- Seating will be socially-distanced and masks will be required.
- No in-person children's ministry will be provided, but kids are welcome to join us in the services!
- If you've been exposed to COVID or experienced any symptoms in the past 14 days, we invite you to join us online.
Also, please plan to join us after the service for an outdoor coffee reception immediately following the service on the south lawn.
If you're not ready to return, that's ok! We'll continue to stream our services each week at 9:30 am and on demand throughout the week. Just visit vrbc.net and click the "Worship Online" button!

DID YOU KNOW? As we all seem to be doing a lot more online shopping these days, did you know that you can support VRBC while you're doing it? AmazonSmile is a simple way for you to support VRBC every time you shop at Amazon, at no cost to you. AmazonSmile is available at smile.amazon.com on your web browser and can be activated in the Amazon Shopping app for iOS and Android phones. You can just continue to do your normal Amazon shopping, with the added benefit that AmazonSmile will donate 0.5% of your eligible purchases to VRBC.
On your first visit to smile.amazon.com, you will be prompted to select a charitable organization (in this case, VRBC) to receive donations from eligible purchases before you begin shopping. After that, every eligible purchase you make on AmazonSmile will result in a donation directly to VRBC. It's that simple!
