NURSERY NEWS
Thank you for your response for Nursery Workers. This is such an important part of our ministry here at TCC. These kids are the future church so our responsibility is very great ! God has blessed us with all these wonderful kids !
Now I am looking for couples who would be willing to partner with other couples to serve in the Sunday School Baby Nursery for a month at a time or even a whole quarter at a time (this would be 13 weeks and would coincide with our regular Sunday School Class schedule). Please pray about this possibility. If you are interested or have questions, please contact Kim Camp.

LIBRARY
Check out a book from the library. There are many good books for all ages. If you have not visited the library and checked out the Biblical fiction section, you will be impressed. Women, there is an excellent family and women's section. Take the time to see what is available.

BY: ENCOURAGER TED Ohmart
FROM THE CATHEDRAL QUARTET...... Today on a crowded bus I saw a lovely girl with golden hair. I envied her, she seemed so happy and I wished that I was there (happy). Suddenly, she rose to leave and I saw her hobble down the aisle. She had one leg and wore a crutch. But as she passed she wore a smile. Oh God, forgive me when I whine, I have two legs and the world is mine. The reading continues to mention a blind candy dealer, a deaf boy watching a ballgame. Each followed by a prayer asking forgiveness when the speaker whined. May I suggest, when your troubles seem to be so great that we are tempted to give up, that you look around at those who have cares that are as great or greater than yours and pray, God forgive me when I whine, the world is mine. "Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you." I Peter 5:7 (NIV)
