Announcements & Connection Links 7/6/24
Dear TBC Family and Friends,
I hope you have all had a great week and were able to celebrate the 4th of July in some way. If you have not had a chance yet to do the survey from Vital Church, please do that as soon as possible! This next week is VBS, so I will be sure to bug you all each night until you take the survey. :)
I am looking forward to worshipping with you all, and I'm already excited for the song and praise time with Steve and Connie!
We will be looking at the second part of the Sermon on the Mount and will be encouraged to be authentic in our relationship with God. Last week we saw how we need whole-person righteousness in relation to others and tomorrow we will look at whole-person righteousness in our relationship with God.
In Christ,
Pastor Keith
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. BAPTISM: If you would like to be baptized, please see Pastor Rodriguez. Our next baptism is on Sunday, July 28th.
2. CHURCH SURVEY: The church-wide survey is open from now until Sunday, July 14th. Please pray for clarity as our church body submits to this process and to what God has for us in the coming months and years. Before you begin the survey take the time personally to calm your heart and ask for the Spirit to guide and direct you as you work through the survey. If you feel like someone may not have received the survey that you would like to get the survey please reply to this email. If they did not get it we can certainly send the survey to them. The survey will take approximately 30 minutes to fill out, so please plan ahead some time to be able to take it! This is an individual survey, so each member of the family aged 16 and older should take the survey separately. Please use this link to take the survey. Also, please mark your calendars that we will be sharing the results of the survey on Sunday, September 8th in the afternoon.
3. VBS MEETING/DECORATING DAY: VBS is THIS WEEK! Please stay after the morning service this Sunday, July 7th for a brief meeting, followed by a time to connect with your team and decorate rooms. We will be decorating and prepping the sanctuary and lobby after our Sunday evening prayer service.
4. PRAYER MEETING: Do you have a burden for our church? Would you like to pray with like-minded people? Every Sunday evening at 5pm Pastor Rowley and some others gather in the room across from the church office to pray through a list of our church people and our missionaries. If you can come early on Sunday evening to pray, please join us!
5. VBS REGISTRATION IS STILL OPEN: VBS registration is still open! Please visit our website to register, and invite your friends ages 4-12 years. VBS is this week, July 8th - 12th, 6:30pm - 8:30pm at TBC.
