BSM Evangelism: Dodgeball & Jesus
This Sunday night, we're heading over to the Church at Trophy Lakes (800 Trophy Club Dr.) to play dodgeball with their youth group.  We'll have bunch of fun and this is an event created for students to invite, invite, invite!  Grab your friends and come join us from 6-8pm.  Hope to see you there!

WhirlyBall
Sunday, November 15th, BSM is heading to WhirlyBall!  WhirlyBall has always been one of our biggest events and we love it!  WE have 50 reserved spots on a first come, first serve basis.  The cost is $10/student and that gets each students several games of WhirlyBall, pizza and a drink.  EVERY student must fill out a medical release form. We will meet at BNHS at 5:45pm and return about 8:45pm.  Please don't miss this exciting opportunity.
We will also need drivers to and from WhirlyBall so if you'd be willing and able, please contact Ryan.

B-Kids
Christmas is starting early in B-Kids! We will be starting an 8 week series in both B and Wee Kids. The series will beProfessor Playtime’s Christmas Shop of Wonder. Each week the children will learn a different facet of the Christmas Story as they spend time with Professor Playtime and his assistant, Holly. While learning the story of Jesus’ birth and life, Professor Playtime will help the children explore bravery, kindness, obedience, joy, patience, generosity, and evangelism. We are excited about this new curriculum and feel certain the children will be too!

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.
