FlowersFlowersFlowersFlowers

The altar flowers for Sunday, December 18, will be

given to the glory of God and in loving memory of

Henrie and Richard Gordon by their children and

grandchildren.

The fes+val of nine lessons and carols was fantas+c! It is always good to

celebrate Jesus and share the gospel. Thank you to everyone who was a

part of the program Sunday night! As the semester comes to an end, I

would like to thank EVERYONE who has served the Lord and TCBC so

faithfully. To all the commi$ees, volunteers, and staff you are a blessing

and I am excited to be a part of such a wonderful church family.

This Sunday's Advent topic is Love. Love is a powerful word, John 3:16

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever

believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." Please mediate

this week on God's love and spend some +me praying and thanking God

for His never ending sacrificial love.

We have a lot of exci+ng things coming up: Church-wide Christmas

Caroling this Wednesday, The Children's Musical Sunday Night,

Christmas Eve Service, and The Christmas Service! I am so excited to

con+nue our Advent: Celebra+ng Jesus. He is worthy of our life, love,

celebra+on, and so much more!

You have been so prayerful, loving, serving, and caring while Elijah has

been sick. Thank you for your love! We love you all!

Pastor Jeremy

Dear Church Members

During the last year Finance, along with Building and Grounds, began

discussions to build a church sign. Those discussions have progressed to

the point of preliminary design and cost es+mates and it is our goal to

have a product ready for construc+on in the Spring of 2017. During dis-

cussions to build and pay for this sign it was suggested that we allow

those who wish to donate funds or totally pay for the sign as an hono-

rarium the opportunity to do so.

Accordingly, we are announcing our inten+on to raise funds for and to

build a church sign. Any member family or individual who wishes to

donate to this effort is encouraged to contact Mark Harris, Sam Rogers

or Dennis Jones.

Church member discussions regarding the design, cost and materials to

be used in the construc+on of our sign will be announced soon.

We look forward to building and dedica+ng a sign that will add to the

appearance of our property and that will glorify God.

Merry Christmas

Mark Harris

Finance/Endowment Chairman

Theresa Stephens has transferred her member-

ship to Sweet Home Bap+st Church.

Thank you to each of you for your prayers during

my recent sickness. I am cancer free. Praise the

Lord!!!
