Announcements & Connection Links 6/22/24
Dear TBC Family and Friends,
My heart has been encouraged by observing the many ways our church stood by the families of Jose Vargas in the time of his death, wake and funeral. Thank you for praying, loving and encouraging.
Tomorrow morning we will be looking at Col 1:9-14. This passage sets the tone and theme for the rest of the letter. How can I know and do the will of God, and what will be the results of such a life? Many people have a wrong understanding about how to find and do God's will. If you can, please memorize Co 1:9-11. It will impact your life and help you understand the message.
Sunday evening we are having our Men's and Women's Ministries, followed by a fellowship dinner. This is an opportunity for you to encourage other believers by your friendship, interest and concern for them. Please come.
Keep going for God. I love you. PR
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. COMMUNION: Please join us this Sunday morning, June 23rd, as we take communion together during the morning service.
2. MEN'S & WOMEN'S MINISTRY & FELLOWSHIP: The men and the women (including teens age 12 and up) will meet separately for a time of encouragement and community this Sunday evening, June 23rd, at 6pm. We will have a fellowship meal following the meetings around 7:15pm. We are asking each family to bring the favorite meal of your nearest graduate or your favorite meal back when you had graduated high school. That's just to keep things fun, but really, we need you to bring a salad, main dish, or side dish large enough to share with your family and a few others. :) The church will provide cake to celebrate our graduates.

If you can come early on Sunday evening to pray, please join us!
