BSM Worship: The Cost of Following Jesus This Sunday night, we'll be jumping into the Bible and talking about the cost, but more importantly the joy of following Jesus. We'll have games, fun, food, and small group time as well. It will be a fun-filled, fast-moving hour and fifteen minutes. We'll be meeting at the Bradley's (4004 Shrike Trail, Roanoke) from 6-7:15pm. We hope to see there! If you have any questions about Bara Student Ministries (BSM), please contact the Youth Pastor, Ryan Bradley at Ryan@barachurch.com.

Baptism Sunday We will be celebrating baptism this Sunday, August 16th. Baptism is when someone declares to the world, I am a FOLLOWER of Jesus. Have you put your faith in Jesus? Are you ready to tell the world that you're a follower through baptism? We want to hear about it.
B-Kids This week the children will learn that in all situations, we should stay focused on God and be obedient to His commands.
Pray for our Schools Next Sunday, August 23rd, we'll be setting aside a time for prayer for the upcoming school year during our 10am Gathering. We will be praying for all the students, faculty, staff, and leaders for the 2015-2016 school year. We'd encourage to invite anybody you may know who serves in one of these capacities to join us.
500k Meal Marathon This is an all-day (7A-6P) community event on Saturday, September 19th, where hundreds of volunteers, on teams, form assembly lines to package meals to be sent directly to people in Haiti.
There are five shifts and each Table Leader needs 10 Packaging volunteers for each shift, which means there are 50 slots to fill! :)
To select the shift you would be willing to serve just click on "Packagers" and select Green Team Nagengast. There are LOTS of tables, so if this table is full at your preferred time, you could pick another team, or choose another time! You can serve more than one shift.
This is also a great service opportunity for students. Anyone 12 & up can EASILY handle a whole shift, and even some task-oriented 10 year-olds can do it!

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.
