IN-PERSON SERVICES BEGIN
THIS SUNDAY | OCTOBER 18 | 9:30 AM
We're excited to announce that beginning this Sunday, October 18, we will be adding a weekly in-person worship service to our Sunday morning schedule! Here's how it will work:
- We will hold an in-person service each week at 9:30 am.
- Capacity will be limited to 200 people per service.
- 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!
Also, please plan to join us after the service for an outdoor coffee reception immediately following the service on the south lawn.
For at least the first few weeks, we'll use an online reservation system. To register for your spot, simply go to our events page, click the week you want to attend, and complete the brief form.
If you're not ready to return, that's ok! We'll continue to livestream our services each week at 9:30 am and on demand throughout the week.
Questions? Email Amy at awilkins@vrbc.net for more information. We look forward to seeing you soon!
