Announcements & Connection Opportunities 7/19/25
Hi TBC Family & Friends,
The weekend is here! So what are you doing this weekend? Grilling....camping...doing chores, or maybe relaxing? Well rest up for Summit 1 this Sunday afternoon at 4 pm! We have about 140 people signed up, and I hope you are one of them. There is still time to register here if you haven't already! It will be a great time as we assess and discern what God is doing at TBC!
Now, if you plan to come we have child care if needed. The kids will have pizza and watermelon. If your child is allergic, then please pack them some supper and a snack. If you are in the summit we will have a potluck dinner at 7 pm right after the summit. Please bring an entree, or salad, or dessert to share.
This Sunday we finish our series in Acts. We plan to begin a new series on the 27th on what the Bible teaches about conflict and how to resolve it when it happens. Our church studied this some time back, and this summer is a great time to revisit this important part of our discipleship as Followers of Jesus.
Join us and bring a friend!
Pastor Pat

Everyone 12 and older will gather around round tables in the gym. Each table will have a table leader who will facilitate activities and discussion around the table. Pastor Pat will lead our time, giving directions to each table throughout the night. Childcare will be provided for ages 0-11. Please sign up here if you haven't already. We are also asking everyone to pray that this night will be so fruitful and useful to our whole church. We are asking everyone to bring a large main dish, salad, or dessert (enough food to feed your family plus more) for the fellowship meal happening during the summit. Dinner will be at the end of the summit for the adults, so please bring food that is fine to be cold or is in something to keep it warm. The kids will be having pizza, so if your children can't have pizza, please bring them a meal as well.

Sunday, 9:15am - Practical Steps for Biblical Financial Stewardship
Keith Tower and Jesse Christophel are leading this class on practical steps for biblical financial stewardship. Our culture has a bad relationship with money. Debt is common, many live paycheck to paycheck, and some of us would rather ignore our bank statements than face our financial reality. But there is hope. This 6-8 session series covers basic financial stewardship-everything from creating a spending plan to paying off your debt to planning your investments. God's wisdom will not only help you find solutions for your financial struggles but will transform your heart as you begin to see your finances His way. Everyone is invited to attend... we meet upstairs in the gymnasium.
