Preaching this Sunday

            Pastor Chris continues his sermon series from the book of Jonah entitled: "The Runaway."    We will explore Scripture from Chapter 3 of Jonah in "Part 3: The Mission."  The major theme of this series is:  God ministers to  us as He ministers through us.  We are changed by God's grace, as He impacts others through us.

Disciples-Making-Disciples Seminar

at TCC, from 8:30A-12:30P

Presented and facilitated by Vision New England.

(Cost - $10.00 per person)

 

The purpose of this seminar is 2-fold:

  1. MEANING - to help participants gain a stronger, biblically-guided understanding of what a Jesus-following, disciple-making way-of-life looks like
  2. LIFE APPLICATION - to help participants faithfully and effectively make this a reality in their daily lives.

This one day "learning community" experience will take place at TCC and all are welcome to attend!  Over the course of the seminar, we will be addressing and answering 3 critical questions:

1.    What is a Jesus "disciple"?

2.    How did Jesus make disciples?

3.     How can we imitate Him?

 

Registration information coming soon!
