Sundays in July
JULY 2012
Road Trip, our summer message series, continues in July with guest speakers Brent Birdsall, Scott Countryman, Leary Gates, Scott Peterson, and Mark Gold. Also, if you missed a Sunday last month, don’t worry, you can watch or listen to them all right HERE.
Connection Everyone is a greeter. Care to make it official?
We are all part of creating a welcoming environment at Berean, but we do need officially friendly people to be greeters or be stationed at the Welcome Center on Sundays mornings. It is so easy--you only need to commit to one service a month! It is so fun, too--you get to know everyone so much better and get an opportunity to help visitors feel at home. Contact Salli Armour for more information HERE.
