BSM Evangelism: Roller Skating
We tried this two weeks ago and mother nature dampened our plans, but not this time.  Come join us at SkateTown (2330 William D Tate Ave, Grapevine) to get your ice (actually roller) skating on this Sunday from 4:30-5:30pm.  The cost is $10 and the 80's music is free.  Invite a bunch of friends, come excited and we'll see you there!

Bara Beautiful
“Let’s disciple a generation.” Jennie Allen, IF Founder
We exist to gather, equip & unleash the next generation of women to live out their purpose.
February 5-6, 2016
Friday 7:00 - 10 pm
Saturday 9 am- 6 pm
Sleeping accommodations will be at the home of The Quile's see Kim Quile for more info. 
The “live” IF Gathering is a 2 day gathering in Austin, Texas on February 5-6, 2016. IF Bara Beautiful Retreat will be a local Trophy Club (and surrounding areas) gathering broadcasting the live simulcast. 
Join us to hear inspiring speakers as they teach and challenge us in our own Christian faith.  This gathering is open to all women – believers and non-believers – who are interested in learning more about beginning or deepening their relationship with Christ as well as discipling others. 
What the world needs is redemption, the very redemption and hope that lives inside of us. Rather than shrink back, it is time to love like Jesus loved, serve like Jesus served, and pursue holiness like Jesus pursued it. Join this global gathering of women across denominations, generations, and cultures as we come together for a compelling encounter with Jesus.

Arise and Build
If you love accomplishing a lot at one time (think: one stop shopping) then you need to come check out our Arise and Build Prayer Nights every Tuesday evening at 7:00pm at the BARA offices. In less than an hour, you can praise The Lord for all He is doing in and through Arise and Build while you answer His call to pray audaciously for what is to come and if that wasn't enough: you will get to build new relationships with your BARA family!! One of the sweet byproducts of our Prayer Nights for those of us that have been participating is that we have experienced the joy of getting to know each other better in ways that can only happen by praying and spending time together. Give it a try and see how God can use a time of prayer devoted to building a building to actually build His church!  For directions to the Bara Church office click here.
