Fantastic Fall Fest
Sunday, September 8
10:30AM - Outdoor worship (One service only)
12:00PM - Food, Fun & Games
The Fantastic Fall Fest is here! This all-church festival is an opportunity for both services to worship, share a meal and fellowship together. Plus, hopefully meet some of our church neighbors in the area. There are lots of fun activities planned for children including face painting, crafts, and a bounce house. Nursery care is available during the worship service. Don't worry - we will have kid-friendly food as well!

Family in Need
A family in our congregation was forced to suddenly move and rid themselves of most of their possessions due to mold. If you have: a couch, dressers, or clothing in the following sizes: Men's Medium, Women's L/XL, Boys Sizes 6 and 4T and Girls size 2T, it would be a true blessing to this family! Please reach out to Tifny if you can help!

Childcare Helpers Needed
MomCo begins next week and we need two more loving ladies to help care for all of the sweet babies and kiddos while their moms enjoy a morning of fellowship and community. If you think you are being called to serve in this way, please email Viva! All childcare workers will need to complete a background check. Volunteer or paid positions are available!

The Tech-Wise Family
Wednesdays, September 11 - November 20
6:00PM-7:30PM
Fellowship Hall
Many of the questions asked most frequently by parents of young people in our Children and Youth Ministries revolve around technology. How much is too much? Cell phones at what age? How about a smart watch? Thoughts on social media? What safeguards do I need? How concerned do I need to be really? These questions (and many more) lead us do the book the Tech-Wise Family, by Andy Crouch.
“Andy Crouch shows readers that the choices we make about technology have consequences we may never have considered. He takes readers beyond the typical questions of what, where, and when and instead challenges them to answer provocative questions like, Who do we want to be as a family? and How does our use of a particular technology move us closer or farther away from that goal?” -Amazon.com
Please join leaders from the Children and Youth Ministries on Wednesday evenings this fall, from 6:00PM-7:30PM. Our focus is not simply managing technology, but raising kids of strength, wisdom and character, in part, by putting technology in its proper place.
Childcare available. Cost is $20 for the Tech-Wise Family book and materials. Scholarships available. This class is open to anyone interested, not only those currently raising children.

Calling all Middle Schoolers! Your first weekend retreat of the year is coming up.

BTSR is the perfect time to make life-long friendships and explore your faith in Jesus through songs, reading the Bible together, and talking about it in small groups.
