Announcements & Connection Links 11/23/24
Dear TBC Family and Friends,
Nearly twenty years ago Chad Prigge was our Assistant Pastor. He left so he could become a head pastor of a good church in Wisconsin. Tomorrow morning we have the opportunity to have his son -- Caleb Prigge -- preaching for us. It will be a blessing to have Caleb's wife Abby and his 18 month old son Judson here also.
Be sure to plan to come back for the Men's and Women's meetings on Sunday evening followed by a pizza fellowship which will cost $1 per person. Please note, the cost is simply a donation to help defray the cost of the pizza. It is a donation and no one is turned away if they do not have the money.
We are so grateful for the number of people who have been exposed to the gospel in the past month -- through your witness, through the soccer tournament and through the Harvest Banquet. The gospel will be promoted in the upcoming youth drama "Esther," through the Christmas programs in December and in all the messages. Please keep praying for opportunities to get the gospel to many more people.
I love you and look forward to seeing you tomorrow.
