Dear BRPC Family,
Join us this weekend at church as we mark the 2nd Sunday in Lent. I'll be beginning a string of sermons based on memorable encounters that Jesus has with peopel in the gospel of John. This Sunday, Jesus meets the Pharisee Nicodemus in the middle of the night (John 3:1-21). Nicodemus is intrigued by the signs Jesus has done, but Jesus tells him he needs to be "born from above"/"born again" to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. And then it's total confusion (which has extended for 2,000 years)! Join us as we probe what it means to start over, and how that is even possible in this Lenten season.
Before worship, the Adult Sunday School lenten series continues at 9:30. It is led by Janet Thompson Jackson and focuses on the Lenten themes of suffering, sacrifice, confession and grace. Larry Lunceford also continues his Bible Study on 1st Corinthians at the same time. I would greatly encourage you to catch one of these Christian Education offerings.
After worship, there will be a special meeting after church for all teens and their parents regarding this summer’s mission trip to Colorado. Lunch will be served. I'm going on the trip and am really jazzed about doing all that mountain biking, white water rafting and summer luge racing while the youth work away. See you after church!
If you ordered any of the anniversary shirts or caps, they’re in! See Mike or Marcia Taylor in the parlor to pick up your orders. We thank Mike and Marcia and all others who have worked so hard to make this special part of our anniversary celebration happen.
Have a wonderful Saturday and I'll look forward to seeing you on Sunday.
Peace and grace,
Pat
