Dear Bara,

This Sunday Pastor Joel will continue with the third lesson in the series Summit. He will be preaching from Acts 2:42-47. The title of his sermon is Pack Your Bag.

BSM Serve: BINGO with Friends
This Sunday afternoon we will have the honor and privilege to get to go play BINGO with some our much wiser friends at the Keller Oaks Healthcare Center (8703 Davis Blvd. Keller) from 3:30-4:30pm.  PLEASE NOTE the unique time frame.  We did this last summer and everybody loved it.  Its a great time to not only bless others but be blessed in return.  Parents, since it's a little bit of a drive, feel free to stay if you'd like as well.  We'll see you there!

If you have any questions about Bara Student Ministries (BSM), please contact our Youth Pastor, Ryan Bradley at Ryan@barachurch.com.  For more information on BSM, please visit www.barachurch.com/bsm.

B-Kids
We are excited to dive into a new curriculum series called To the Depths.This Sunday our B-Kids will learn that God wants us to show His love to everyone through our actions. The main point of their lesson is God Loves Everyone and So should I. The Bible story is from James 2:8-9, The Good Samaritan, Luke 1-:30-35. Their Bible verse is “For the whole law can be summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Galatians 5:14. Our Wee Kids will learn that they are to trust God to take care of them even when they are afraid. Their Bible story is from Matthew 6:25-34; Birds of heaven and the flowers of the field.

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.
