Youth Fundraiser: Spaghetti lunch Sunday, June 28

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.

 

Rent-a-Youth to help them raise money for summer conference

Please help our youth raise funds to attend the summer youth conference in Daytona in July by hiring them for jobs such as household chores, gardening, mowing, and babysitting.

Make your check payable to the church and indicate it is for the youth fundraiser.

Contact the kids directly to set up the work. Phone numbers are in your church directory or call the church office. 

 

Participating youth include:

 

Luke Baccus

Jacqueline Daly

Philip Daly

Laura Hullinger

Jamie Kendrick

We expect to be adding more names to this list, so watch for that.

This is a great way to get some of those annoying things done while helping our young people raise money to attend an event that will strengthen their faith—it doesn’t get any more win-win than this!!

Hug Bugs are Back!

It's Hug Bug Season at TPC!

The Youth are selling Hug Bugs to raise funds. They will be on sale now through Sunday, May 3, after the 9:00 a.m. service and before and after the 11:00 a.m. service (or you may give your order to Edwin Collado or Susan Baccus). The hug bugs (those cute little fuzzy things that stick on your shoulder) will be delivered with a hug by the youth on May 10 (Mother's Day).

Each Hug Bug is $1. Sign-up sheets will be in the breezeway.

Help support our youth and send a message to members of your church family that they deserve a hug!

CROP WALK Sunday, March 1

CROP WALK, sponsored by Church World Services, is a one- or three-mile walk for hunger on Sunday, March 1, at 2:00 p.m. Walkers raise funds by getting sponsors for each mile they walk. Check in at the church and then we'll be walking on the trail behind the church.

Get your participation packets now from Susan Baccus or Edwin Collado and start getting your sponsors signed up! Walkers of all ages are welcome.

Souper Bowl of Caring - Feb. 1

As is our tradition, the Youth will be collecting cans of soup after each service on Sunday, Feb. 1, to celebrate the Souper Bowl of Caring before they watch the big football game. Please bring a can of soup with you to church this Sunday. (If you forget your soup, cash will be accepted.)

Youth Group Sundays 5:00-6:30 p.m.

Our Youth Group meets on Sundays at 5:00 p.m. for indoor and outdoor games and activities, followed by dinner at 6:00 p.m. After dinner, we have a short devotional. Parent pick-up is at 6:30 p.m.
