HAPPENINGS

August 20-28


There will be a Security Training session on Monday, August 31st, from 6:30-9pm, presented by Secure Community Network. This is aimed at current greeters, gabbais, and any interested TBI members, so that we can keep our congregation secure, while also being welcoming. As of this morning, only three people have signed up. If you have attended trainings in the past, we still recommend signing up and attending this training.
