Pocket-sized receivers with ear buds are available to be checked out

during the Worship Service from the sound booth at the rear of the

sanctuary.

ELDER INVITATION

Following morning worship, the elders will be available to members

and guests for prayer and ministry. Simply come to the front of the

sanctuary where we will be glad to: pray for your personal needs, lead

you in receiving Jesus Christ as your Savior, discuss church

membership.

February 1, 2015

ESPECIALLY FOR OUR GUESTS

We are glad to have you worship with us today. You

are worshiping with people who experience the

same difficulties of life as you. We have nothing to

boast about except the God we worship. Please relax

and focus upon the Lord Jesus who loves you and

desires for you to follow Him. While God has surely

led you here, you likely still have a number of im-

portant questions about us; how to get more involved and connected in

meaningful relationships or about your own personal or spiritual needs.

If so, please allow us to help you by completing the guest registration

inside the back cover or by coming forward during the invitation time.

—Ronnie W. Rogers

Refuting Evolution by Jonathan Sarfati

Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit

who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not

your own? For you have been bought with a price: therefore

glorify God in your body. I Corinthians 6:19-20 NASB

Dear Church Family, How do we convey to you just how much we love and appre-ciate you? Thank you so very much for the many ways you have showered us with love, prayers, cards, phone calls, food, and love gifts, all so generously given. Thank you to the friends and staff who sat with Chuck and Tommy during the 10-hour surgery last October. Cancer is such a long, progressive disease that wears one down in every possible way—physically, emotionally, spiritually, and financially. It is so amazing and encouraging to have our TBC family support and encourage us in every possible way, and even ways we couldn’t imagine (a surprise hospital bed that I was too weak to even go shopping for). We have been battling cancer for almost 14 years—first with Chuck, then with me. I am 17 months into my battle, and you have seen us through my chemo/radiation in 2013 and recurrence in late 2014 and radical surgery in October 2014. My “prognosis” is very un-certain, medically, but we know the Great Physician knows all and con-tinues to carry us through each challenge—with the love and prayers of our TBC family. We are trusting the Lord with a better 2015, and are eager to get back to attending and serving again at TBC. We trust the new year totally to His will and plan for our lives, and we remain so thankful to be a part of the TBC family. You have our eternal love and thanks. Gratefully, in His love, Ann & Chuck Glenn
