GATHER GROW GIVE GO
june 2026
Plugged In
A few years ago when I started here at TBC we had a bit of a tradition on Wednesday nights before Bible study. Marcia would go up to the piano and everyone would shout out a favorite hymn that they’d like to sing a verse of. Every single Wednesday night, one of our members who has gone on to be with the Lord, Lawrence Oliver, would pick the same hymn “In Times Like These”. The first verse goes like this…
“In times like these you need a Savior
In times like these you need an anchor
Be very sure, be very sure
Your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock!”
Just as ships need an anchor and just as any electronic device needs to be plugged in to a power source, we as Christians need a Savior to hold on to (or at times, to hold onto us!) We must be very sure to grip onto the Solid Rock-Jesus Himself! He is our Savior, our Anchor, our help in times of trouble and the only one who brings us to the throne of God the Father.
So whatever you do, friends make sure you grip the anchor and stay plugged in to the one who has the power!
In His Service,
Pastor Jared
The Youth finished their “Soul Apologetics” curriculum for the year. It was wonderful watching them interact and grow in their faith. They are taking a break over the summer and will restart in the fall. They will have a few outings during the summer but nothing weekly.
Children's Church is studying the prophet, Daniel.
Kids Club finished their “Gospel Project” curriculum for the year. It was wonderful watching the kids grow! They will take a break over the summer and restart in the fall. There will be a few events during the summer months but not weekly.

Father’s Day
Written by Vi Roop
A day we’ve set aside for dad,
To pay respect to the best we’ve had.
He’s always there when we need a hand,
Ready to help and share our plan.
He cares for us in that special way,
So why not give him our love today?
For those of us who can’t show that love,
Because of our dads that have gone on above.
We will always remember their smiling face
And we know there’s no one that will take their place.
But if you know the Savior, be happy that you do,
For you will have a double blessing by having His Father too!
You know our life on this earth is such a short span,
And the greatest give to give Dad toady
Would be to accept salvation’s plan!
Remember your love should be shown each day,
In kindness, in deed, and in every way.
So let’s thank our God in heaven above,
For giving us a Dad to love!
OWLS’ Gathering

Thank you Ellen for the beautiful decorated tables in Red, White and Blue! To Liz, Tom, Sandy and Rachel for the food preparation and set up, thank you. To everyone who helped clean up, thank you!
What a Blessing to be with such a wonderful group of people at such a beautiful place! God Bless America!
Till next time.
Blessings, Nancy Miller
