Spring Forward & PJ Sunday This Sunday, don't forget to set your clock ahead an hour. Yes, that does mean you lose an hour of sleep, but it doesn't mean you have to get the kids dressed! This Sunday, we're inviting all our BKids to come to church in their pajamas. They can even sport some bed head too if they choose. We think pajamas + Jesus = tons of fun!
30 for 30 Stories We want your story! Yes, yours! Easter is kicking off our 30 for 30 stories where we will share 30 stories, some Biblical, some of them yours, in many different ways over 30 days. If you'd like to share your story with us, please go to barachurch.com/30stories and get to writing. If you've never written out your story, you should. Please don't miss out on this amazing opportunity!
B-Kids Our B-Kids lesson will be on how we can look forward to Heaven because Jesus Forgives us. Their Bible story is from James 1:12, The Salvation Story (passages from Matthew, Mark, Luke and John). Our Wee Kids lesson will be on the importance of telling others about Jesus. Their Bible story will be from Luke 11:33, The Lamp for all to see.
30 for 30 Challenge Pastor Joel told the church about our 30 for 30 Challenge. It's a challenge to invite 30 people over the next 30 days (ends on Easter) and the staff will be providing 30 creative and fun ways to help. Please be prayerfully considering who God would have you ask to join us for Easter. Also, ask Him to give you the eyes to see those who might not initially think of so that you can see and invite them as well. The website goes live tomorrow (or you can get a sneak peek right now if you'd like) at barachurch.com/30for30. Also, you'll see there are downloadable graphics for the Glow Egg Hunt as well as our Easter service so you can share them on social media. Don't miss this challenge to invite friends, family, stranger, and anybody and everybody to hear the greatest story ever!

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.
