GATHER GROW GIVE GO

may 2026

More and More

The Christian life is certainly a life of ups and downs. Joy comes when following Jesus just as easy as heartbreak. Walking through life with our Savior gives us the courage and strength to live according to His will which is of great benefit to us and most importantly, the Kingdom of God.

Paul writes to the church of the Thessalonians “Finally then brothers, we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, just as you are doing, that you do so more and more.” (1 Thess 4:1- ESV)

The idea here is that as we walk with Jesus we learn how to please the Father just as Jesus did on Earth. While Jesus had no spiritual growing to do, we certainly have plenty of room for growth. This is what Paul means by us learning to please God “more and more”. It means that we learn from our mistakes and correct them. It means we bear more fruit. It means that we love more freely, have more patience, and become more like Jesus.

For the rest of our lives we find that as we walk with Jesus, we learn, love, and do “more and more”.

“Our Mothers”

Written by Vi Roop

What would we do without our mother?

Each child knows there is no other,

That can take the place of his or her mother.

They share our joy and cheer us when we are sad,

A truer friend could never be had.

God made our mothers in a special way,

That’s why we have a “Mother’s Day”!

They come in all ages and sizes you see,

There’s one for you and one for me.

Many time they did without,

While all we did was sit and pout.

They tied our shoes and washed our clothes,

And many the times they shared our woes.

Our Lord’s plan was quite divine,

When He made that precious mother of mine!

If you have a mother give her your love,

For this is a command from our God above!

OWLS’ Gathering

What a fun day at our TBC OWLS Gathering today! After one of the best

Pot Luck Lunches ever it was time to LAUGH! We enjoyed watching

Dennis Swanberg via video in the sanctuary today. He is a wonderful

Christian Comedian and was enjoyed by all. We had a dessert break,

and door prize tickets were called before finishing the DVD and getting

our OWLS photo!

Thank you to everyone who helped out today. The tables were lovely, the

food was delicious, and the fellowship was the Best!

Blessings, Nancy

The inreach/outreach committee sponsored a progressive dinner on Saturday, April 11. The 21 participants traveled to the homes of three members and were treated with wonderful appetizers, an Italian dinner and homemade desserts. A good time was had by all.
