Through a simple gift-filled shoe box, Operation Christmas Child brings the excitement of Christmas and the good news of God’s love to children in desperate situations around the world. An amazing 7.6 million shoe boxes were shipped to more than 100 countries last year. Over 600 of them came from BRBC! Everyone can be involved in this simple, hands-on missions project. The national collection week for the shoe boxes is November 17-22. BRBC again will be a collection center (Monday-Friday 5:30-7:30 p.m. & Saturday 9-Noon). For more information, or if you would like to volunteer in the collection center (16 & up only), please contact Courtney Shipe (allshipesandsizes[at]gmail.com).
1 Timothy 2:1-3 says, “First of all, then, I urge that requests, prayers, intercessions, and thanks be offered on behalf of all people, even for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. Such prayer for all is good and welcomed before God our Savior.”
As citizens of the United States we have a unique role in our government as voters. Because of this we each play a role as members of that “authority” mentioned in 1 Timothy. So we should not only be praying for those who are elected but also for “We the people.”
This coming Tuesday is election day and we are planning to make an all day prayer room at the church available to anyone who would like to participate. Jack will be opening the doors at 7am and I’ll be closing it up at 7pm. The format is casual and anyone who would like to come for a time to pray and lift up those in authority over us on that day are more than welcome. Come for just a few minutes or several hours. Either way we encourage all believers to lift up the people of the United States of America in prayer.
Come one, come all…all ages and all abilities to our Fall Work Day, November 1st, 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Come for all or as much as you can. We need to hear from you so that we can plan the projects according to skills available, and so that we have enough food for lunch. Contact Jeff Stocker (Jeffrey.e.stocker[at]aero.org).

We have the opportunity to meet and hear from Paul and Misty Rude, missionaries to native Alaskans. The Rudes were previously sponsored by BRBC but are now on furlough and will be here October 19 to share what God has been doing through them in Alaska. Everyone is invited to a potluck after the worship service (12:30 p.m. to approx. 3 p.m.). Please RSVP by the bulletin tear-off or go to missions@brbible.org so we can get an estimate of the number, and bring a main dish for 10 and either a dessert or salad. Also, remember that these potlucks are valuable opportunities for fellowship!
