Super Heroes - Super Service

The Town is throwing a party, and we are gonna be there!

Bara's first involvement with the Town of Trophy Club's Fourth of July festivities began in 2009, even before our first gathering that September. 

The holiday and the town events provide a fantastic opportunity for Bara to live out our core commitment to redeem in ministry as we reach out and serve our community!

From getting up early and preparing breakfast tacos, to distributing cold waters to the families that line the streets of the parade, there is a place for YOU to serve! Just click the button below!
