Pastor's Note:
The Presumption of (In)tolerance
|
Tolerance, when properly defined, is a wonderful virtue. Tolerance is marked by kindness, forbearance and patience. Paul says of God in Romans 2:4 that the riches of His kindness, his forbearance and patience are all characteristics that bring us to a place of acknowledging God in our lives in the most profound ways. It’s His kindness that leads to repentance (saying yes to him and no to everything else).

Spread the word. If you are in need, or if you know someone who is in need, such as single parents, those on a fixed income, unemployed or others who could use a helping hand, please feel free to visit the church office for assistance from our loaves & fishes food pantry. Our Food Pantry is open on Sundays and regular church hours.
The TCC Food Pantry offers assistance to those in the community who need help with providing for themselves and their family.
