Facing the Giants
Never give up! Never back down! Never lose faith!
Shiloh Christian Academy may be a great school, but it has a so-so football team. In fact, Coach Grant Taylor has not had a single winning season in the six years he's been in charge. So when a star running back transfers to a cross-town rival, it's all but guaranteed that the upcoming seventh season will be the same as all the others. That's just one of the things that are weighing Taylor down. His car won't run. There’s a foul odor on his home and he and his wife, Brooke, are facing the prospect that they can't have children. Unknown yet to Coach and his team is a post-season match-up against the state's most feared squad, the undefeated Giants, led by a bulldog of a coach who is used to chewing up rivals as frequently as he does the lollipops perpetually stuck in his mouth. But Facing the Giants is more than a simple David-and-Goliath metaphor on the gridiron. This film tells the story of faith in the face of long odds and the need to align our priorities with God's.
Join Karen Gray, Certified Hatha Yoga instructor, from 7:00 – 8:00 a.m. Thursday mornings beginning June 11 as she guides you through gentle yoga, using breathing techniques, postures, and relaxation while quoting scripture. Newcomers and beginners are welcome to these slow, gentles, and restorative classes designed for self-care, mindfulness, and ease.
This one-hour class is for toning the muscles, as well as improving balance and circulation with little impact on the joints. Learn to breathe deeply, become more flexible, and build strength. Begin your day in a health, relaxed way. Bring your mat and wear loose-fitting clothes.
$5 per person per class. Reservations are not required. For more information, contact Karen Gray at 407-361-0339 or kgray23@cfl.rr.com.
Join us at 12:15 p.m. (after the second service) on Sunday, June 28, in Fellowship Hall for a delicious spaghetti lunch that will help our youth raise funds to pay for attending the Student Life Conference in July.
Cost is $8 for adults, $4 for children for spaghetti and sauce, salad, and dessert.
Can’t stay for lunch? Pick up a take-out order so you don’t have to cook when you get home.
Reservations are appreciated so we can be sure to have enough food; use the signup sheet at church or the event sign-up form on our website at www.mytpc.org.
Join us for some X-treme decorating and X-treme fun and we make the preschool and church look like Camp E.D.G.E.
We’ll meet at 9:00 a.m. on Wed., June 17, in Fellowship Hall for breakfast and volunteer training, then get to work on decorating at 10:00 a.m. Childcare will be available. We should be finished by 1:00 p.m.
Contact Ester Brockman if you plan to attend or if you want more information. Phone 407-657-1302 or e-mail esterb@embarqmail.com.
We have an immediate opening for a computer operator on the AV Team for the 11:00 a.m. service.
The only skill required is the ability to click a mouse. You follow along with a script and advance the slides that appear on the screens in the sanctuary as appropriate.
We have several people who do this and our goal is to keep enough people trained so that no one has to “work” more than one or two Sundays a month.
Training is free and fast! If you’d like more information, contact John Overbey at 407-695-7055 or joverbey@cfl.rr.com. If you’d like to sit in the sound booth and observe for a Sunday before deciding, you are welcome.

Please reserve your place by contacting Ester Brockman or Judy Grieve, or by using the event sign-up form on our website at www.mytpc.org.
Beginning Sunday May 31 the Open Forum will be using DVD-based discussion materials by Rob Bell called NOOMA. They are short DVD presentations with discussion questions on interesting one-word topics. The first two are "Name" and "Luggage". They were originally marketed to youth and young adults but are quite engaging for all ages. Rob Bell is the pastor of a church in Grandville, MI where 11,000 people worship each Sunday. The Open Forum class meets in the room at the front of the church off Fellowship Hall (the original narthex) at 10:00 a.m. on Sundays.
