As the new technology is being used, especially for the electronic distribution of the Herald and e-news, we have learned that the church office needs email addresses updated and to know what publications you want to receive. Please email the office ([email protected]) if you want to receive the monthly Herald newsletter by email, the weekly e-news by email, and/or occasional church news updates by email. All of this information is on the THCPC (www.thcpc.org) website. If you prefer to view it without receiving an email, please unsubscribe. Thanks so much.
Ladies Night Out – Wednesday, January 29 – 6:00 pm Come to a four course meal, all prepared in crock pots by CLCA. Bring your appetite and your favorite crock pot recipe(s) to share. We will copy them that evening and later compile the collection of recipes for all. Please RSVP either after church at the CLCA table or call the church office by Jan. 26. Stay tuned for more info about the menu.
On Sunday February 2, 2014 160 million Americans will tune in to the Super Bowl football game. There will be parties with abundant food, friendship and fellowship. At the same time, there will be people worrying about staying warm, finding shelter and a warm meal. Please join young people around the country as they demonstrate God’s love by loving their neighbors through the Souper Bowl of Caring. It’s a simple, yet significant act of caring for others. The youth group will have a donation table set up in fellowship hall February 2nd for donations of cans of soup and financial donations. Our young people are developing hearts for giving that can last a lifetime. Please support their efforts. Our church also has a soup carry in lunch on this day. Please consider bringing a crock pot of soup to share. We also love to share the soup recipes so please send your soup recipe to Amanda Mang at [email protected] by Jan 31st.
