TBC Words to Grow On: FORGIVENESS

Last Sunday was a wonderful day for The Brandermill Church! Our word for the day was BLESSED and we said that a wonderful definition from the NT Greek is ‘how fortunate you are’. We are so fortunate to be part of such a community/refuge of unconditional love. I want to thank all of you who brought your ‘Estimates of Giving’ for 2022 to enable us to maintain our refuge! If you have not yet done so you may drop yours in the mail or send Steve Law an email.

This Sunday our word for the day is FORGIVENESS. This is one of the foundational words of our faith. Every time we see the cross we are reminded of God’s forgiving love in Jesus that we celebrate every time we come together. One of my favorite statements of FORGIVENESS comes from Corrie Ten Boom. She said, “God takes our sin and tosses it into the deepest sea and says NO FISHING!”

Our passage for Sunday is one of the greatest stories of forgiveness in all of Scripture. The story of Joseph forgiving his brothers is a transformational story for all of us. (Genesis 50:15-22) I hope to see you Sunday as we reflect upon this critical word for all of us: FORGIVENESS!

In Christ’s Service,
Dr. Jim C. Dunkin
COMMUNION TEAM

Now that we are celebrating worship in person again, we need to revive our Communion Team. Responsibilities include organizing supplies, bread, juice, and gluten-free elements, preparing the altar on Communion Sunday, and cleaning up afterwards. Total commitment is less than an hour a month. We are hoping to have a training session soon, and we'd love to have a new Communion Team in place for March. Email Carol Beth Cook or call (804) 307-7252 if you have any questions or if you're interested!
2022 ALTAR FLOWERS

If you would like to honor or remember a loved one by placing flowers on our altar for Sunday worship, just email Dawn in the church office to reserve a date. Arrangements are $50 each. Payment may be made anytime prior to your reserved date and you may take home or donate your arrangement after the service.

Can you help us fill up the flower calendar?
Only 3 dates in the first half of 2022 are still available: May 22, 29 and June 12.
TBC GROWING YOUNG

Join us as we read and discuss together how TBC will be Growing Young in 2022! There will be a study opportunity for 6 weeks on Wednesdays, March 9th through April 13th, from 6:30-7:30 p.m. By now everyone should have a book and be well on their way to reading it before the study begins. We do have a few books still on hand, so be sure to pick one up today if you still need one. Books are available at no cost to you and are located on the front desk and in the Narthex. (Donations to offset the cost of the books are happily accepted!)

Thank you to everyone who has already filled out a registration form! If you have not 
already done so, please contact Dawn in the church office to sign-up! There will be nursery care for children up to 3 years old and Joelle Hawkins, our JAM leader, will head up the programming for our younger children, so youth and adults are free to attend the study.

For further information, please contact Pastor Jim or Barbara.
MOPS

Our MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) group is still looking for a few mentor moms and/or childcare moms. They meet twice a month on Friday mornings at the church and could really use the support of moms who have been there done that, as they share with one another. If you might be interested in helping out once or twice a month, please contact Barbara.
GREETERS & USHERS

Thank you to our wonderful ushers and greeters! Teams are still forming, so if you’d like to serve, please email Dale Gentz or call (804) 317-7554.
THE SUNDAY PARK FOOD PANTRY

This mission requires many hands to help each week. Please click here to volunteer. If you have questions, please email Dale Gentz or call (804) 317-7554.
JAM (JESUS AND MUSIC)

Each Sunday after the Children's Message, the Hawkins family (mom Joelle, along with her teens Taylor, Ginny and Stephen) lead our children in song and scripture. EVERYONE has a ball! We need additional helpers to assist the Hawkins family with the activities of JAM. (They will teach the music (!) but need helpers to assist with reading Bible stories and with occasional small craft projects.) Please consider helping one Sunday every other month. You do need to be background checked and take an online class in order to be Safe Sanctuary approved. Barbara can help you do this. Please contact Joelle or Barbara and get your name on the calendar.
DO YOU LIKE TO COOK?

Do you like to cook? Do you have a super-secret family-favorite recipe you would like to share? Or maybe you just want to help
out the TBC youth in any way you can! We are looking for you! We are looking for individuals or families willing to contribute an item or two for a youth meal or have your group sponsor a meal, please follow this link to see how to contribute. If you have any questions, please contact Eric Nolin.
EPIPHANY STAR WORDS

Each month Barbara will suggest an activity or two to help you live into your star word. If you have yet to pick a star word, please contact Barbara and she will choose one for you and mail it to you. For February, listen as people talk to you, as you read, as you watch TV/movies and pay attention to how and when and how often your word comes up in the world around you. Look up your word in the dictionary. Note the definition if you are keeping a journal. Make a cut out heart and write your star word on the heart and display the heart where you will see it regularly.
