Titirangi Baptist Happenings

This Sunday, Glen will be leading us in a MiX Family Service.  

Also, this Sunday is week 2 in the SELF DENIAL period.  Don't forget to use the bag you were given last week.

One example of self denial is instead of buying a cup of coffee, you could put the money you would have spent into this bag.

There will be a SELF DENIAL offering next week, on August 29th.

G'day and welcome to another exciting and insightful edition of the TBC happenings - the latest and greatest in the world of TBC!

Leading Story:

By far the biggest event that is coming up is our AGM (that stands for Annual General Meeting, if you've ever wondered). This promises to be THEE Happening event of the week! You DO NOT want to miss it!
So, because repetition gets results, here are the details one more time:

Date: Monday, March the 1st.
Time: 7:30
Location: TBC HQ - 32 Kaurilands Road, Glen Eden
We've even included a nifty little map for you so you don't get lost - just click here

Stay tuned for the AGM agenda, the financial statements, and the Ministry reports - expected delivery to your inbox is Saturday.

What else is coming up?

A little cheer!
Thanks to the thirty people who have offered to increase the cheer on Sunday mornings by paying for a chair. We are wondering if there is 10 more people out there?

Sunday...

This Sunday service is intended as a day of listening and reflection, most especially focused on what God has been saying to us as a body this past week. We hope you are bursting with things to share!

Keep it classy, Titirangi

Hey!

Another year has rolled in and things are really starting to get moving! Easter Camp is just around the corner and preparation is getting underway for one of the most action packed youth camps on this planet.

We know that there are plenty of parents who are really keen to come to camp with us this year, so we'd love to hear from you. If you are keen to come, just reply to this email. It's great to have parents involved in the lives of the youth, and its a great time for parents too. The speakers, and the worship, cross the generations. It will be a highlight of your year!

To learn more about Easter Camp, check out www.eastercamp.co.nz, and look out for the promo DVD being shown at blueprint services!

Also, the early bird pricing cut off is Feb 28. Get in quick!!

Hi, this is the last TBC Happenings for 2009.

This is to remind you that the Christmas Eve Service starts at 7 p.m. It will be a wonderful family event and a great time to focus on the reason for our celebration.

We are still keen to get more flyers out to advertise the Christmas Eve Service, so if you wish to deliver some of these, there are some sitting at reception with a list of streets already delivered to.  The church office will be open until about 4 on Wednesday.

Have a wonderful Christmas with family and friends.  Take opportunity to reflect on, and be thankful for, all of God's blessings to us as a church and individually this year.  Enjoy Christmas.

See you Thursday night

Hi again, 

Jess Angove has made contact with a young woman who has a 2 year old boy and is about to give birth to twin girls. This young woman has very little and was blown away by a few things that Jess has passed on to her. We are hopeful that as a Church we could get a few more things together to help support her at this time and maybe even whip up a few meals to put in her freezer.

She is in need of clothes (both for her son and the twin girls) and pretty much any other baby things that are spare eg carseats, cots, etc. If anyone has good quality used goods that they would be willing to pass on to this young woman could they please contact Jess Angove (ph 827 0450) so she can coordinate the delivery.

Thanks so much.

Christmas Eve

Hi, would you have some spare time as a family, couple or individuals to deliver abundle or two of flyers for the CHRISTMAS EVE SERVICE?    We have bundles of about 30 sitting at reception plus a sheet of paper for you to fill in of where you will be delivering the flyers.

If you can help in any way, that would be awesome.  Just drop into the church at 32 Kaurilands Road, between 9 and 4, and pick up some bundles.

Thank you so much
