Hey BRN Family, Elizabeth here and it’s time for the October Top 5!
#1- We wanted to extend a special thank you to our guests who have already signed up to attend the Accelerate Conference at the Sheraton Harrisburg/Hershey Hotel on October 7. We can’t wait! It’s not too late to join us! We will host walk-in registrations, starting at 7:30 a.m. on Tuesday. But don’t forget the pre-conference event with Dr. Jeff Iorg on Monday evening at 6:30 p.m.! Learn more at www.acceleratepasj.com.
#2- Mark your calendar! The North American Mission Board’s Send Network will host two One-Day workshops for church planters, sending pastors, ministry teams, and faithful Jesus followers. Featuring Mac Lake, founder and CEO of The Multiply Group, the first event will be held on October 24-25, at Keystone North Church in Harleysville, and the second event will be held on November 19 at Travelers Church in Moon Township (near Pittsburgh). Visit brnunited.org/events to learn more.
#3- We know it’s only October, but we are already gearing up for next year’s Serve Tour in Lehigh Valley. We have opened up early access registration for those who want to be first in line to pick their projects. We’ll send an early invitation to register to those who sign up now. We also urge you to pray! To that aim, we invite you to join us for a BRN Night of Prayer & Partnership hosted at Riverbend Community Church on November 4 at 7 p.m. We’ll not only spend time in prayer but also share a proven model that has helped churches and communities in other regions collaborate effectively to meet real needs. This is more than an idea—it’s a movement with impact! Come be part of something that matters! Learn more at servepasj.com.
#4-The BRN is pleased to announce a new partnership with Lancaster Bible College, a private, non-denominational, accredited Christian college in our region. Foremost among the offered benefits is a 15% tuition discount for members of churches in good standing with the BRN. Did you hear that? A 15% tuition discount! Don’t miss that! You can learn more at lbc.edu or [email protected].
#5-The kids are back in school, the Fall schedule is already on the fridge, and holiday busyness is already creeping into your mind – take a breath! Before your Fall gets any busier and the holidays come sweeping in, we want to offer our dear sisters in Christ the opportunity to breathe and be built up! Arise-Breathe will be just that! On Nov. 8, join fellow sisters in Christ at Fellowship CrossPoint Church in Chesterfield, New Jersey, for a morning (9 a.m. – 12 p.m.) of refreshment and being in God’s Word together! Register at brnunited.org/women.
That’s all for October. Thanks for watching, BRN Family. We appreciate you and we are thankful for you!
