** Dear LTA Parents,

We wanted to touch base with you about the LTA schedule for Sunday, June 26.  All K-4th grade children will attend service in the sanctuary with their parents until 9:50, and then will be dismissed to LTA.  Please register your children at the check-in desk as usual.  Infant through pre-k will start the morning in the preschool rooms as usual.  We will dismiss the elementary age children from service as follows:
  • Kindergarten/1st Grade:    The kindergartners/1st graders will be dismissed first.  We are asking the parents to walk their kindergartner/1st grader to the parlor, say their goodbyes, and then return to service.  Tammy Kim (subbing for Krista Lane) and Jiang Long will meet the children in the parlor.
  • 2nd-4th Grade:  After the kindergartners/1st graders are dismissed, the 2nd through 4th graders will be dismissed to the lobby where their Small Group Leaders will meet them.  They will be holding up signs for their respective groups.   There will also be signs on the walls designating the areas where each group should meet.  
At the end of service, we will follow the typical dismissal procedures.  Please let us know if you have any questions. 
Blessings,
Gail and Cheryl

Volunteer Opportunities
 
      TCC runs on volunteers! Please visit the TCC "How to Serve" webpage at http://www.tccwayland.org/serve.php for more information.   Here are a few current opportunities:  
 
  
Additional Ushers Still Needed...
        Our mission:   To welcome every visitor and member to the house of God!  

      What is needed : Ushers are absolutely critical in helping newcomers form their first impression of TCC. You help set the tone for the worship experience to come. You are representatives of God's kingdom.  You're not just opening doors, providing information, handing out bulletins or collecting the offering, you are making people feel welcome!
 
      Could you help ONE  Sunday morning a month?  Please contact Debbie Wilson at [email protected] or 508-358-7717.
 

 
Volunteer Offering Counters Needed ...
       Are you accurate and reliable?  Volunteers count the weekly offering (mostly checks for deposit) each Sunday, and we are in need of new helpers.  Offering counters work in pairs.  Contact Aimee Mury at [email protected] or 508- 358-7717, x303 if this might be a way you could help us.  Training provided! 
 
  
  
Coffee Hour needs YOU!
      If you enjoy having a cup of coffee while chatting with others between Sunday services, please sign-up (alone or with your Small Group) to host a coffee hour!   You don't even have to provide snacks - just make, set up and then clean up the coffee and tea ! ( Easy instructions provided - click here to see what is involved!)
Participation gives you and your group an opportunity to serve the Lord and is greatly appreciated by your fellow members.
      Please sign up at the Connection Hub this Sunday or contact Robin Spinale, our new Coffee Hour Coordinator at [email protected]!


Missions Committee
            Do you have a heart for missions? Would you consider serving on the Missions Committee?
The committee meets monthly to distribute church funds to missionaries and mission organizations that are involved with college, regional and foreign ministries. We address short term missions and one-time requests as well. The committee members correspond with these missionaries in the field to follow their progress, make sure their needs are met and their prayer requests addressed.  It is the committee's responsibility to keep the congregation updated on missionaries we support; to report on progress, activities, needs, and prayer requests.
            If you would like to volunteer or find out more information, please contact Carolyn Lippmann, Committee Chairperson, or David Jenkins, committee member, at [email protected] or 508-358-5406 and [email protected] or 508-380-4015.

Thanks for reading and hope to see you this weekend.
Sincerely,

 
Debora Wilson
