Pastor Larry is currently on sabbatical, but before he left, he recorded several encouraging videos for the church. You can check out this week's installment by clicking here. In addition, Larry would love to pray for you while he is gone! You can share your requests with him here.

Each year during VRBC's Backpack Drive, we deliver backpacks filled with school supplies to some of our neighboring children at Tom Landry Elementary School and the surrounding area who need assistance. This year, our goal is to fill 160 backpacks, which will be given to the families we have been serving through Sack Summer Hunger. The church will provide the backpacks, and the congregation is asked to provide the needed school supplies.
Empty backpacks will be available for pick up in the church lobby after the worship service on Sunday, July 18. A school supply list will be enclosed for your use in purchasing school supplies. Feel free to pick up and fill as many backpacks as you would like! Please return filled backpacks to the church on Sunday, July 25 or August 1. For more information, contact Arthur Mendes at amendes@vrbc.net.

TUESDAYS | 7:00 TO 8:30 PM | BEGINS AUGUST 31
For the past several years, VRBC has hosted Community Bible Study (CBS) on Tuesday evenings. As a supplement to your Grow Group experience, CBS can offer you a great opportunity to dive a little deeper into Bible study.
CBS offers men's, women's, couples, young adult, and children and youth classes. Beginning in August and running through May, they plan to meet in person right here at VRBC on Tuesday nights from 7:00 to 8:30 pm. Participants receive a course book that includes a commentary and home study questions for each week's lesson. Each week, you'll have the opportunity to participate in a small group discussion led by your Core Group Leader and finish the evening by attending an all-class teaching time led by the CBS Teaching Director.
Registration is $35 for adults and $10 for kids (and covers all course materials you'll need for the entire year). (Scholarships are available if your budget is tight.) Come find out what can happen in your life when you grow with God through the study of His Word!
When: Tuesday evenings, from 7:00 to 8:30 pm
Dates: August 31 through May 3
Where: VRBC
Study: Christian Living, including Philemon; 1, 2, and 3 John; James; and 1 and 2 Peter
