Maundy Thursday Service, 7P in the Sanctuary
"Maundy" comes from the Latin mandatum novum, the "new commandment" Jesus gave his disciples in John 13:34. This service remembers the last evening Christ spent with His disciples in the upper room - the first Lord's Supper. Our atmosphere of reverence will reflect the somber occasion with a message by Kyle Smethurst, TCC's Student Ministries Pastor, hymns with choir and organ and the celebration of the Lord's Supper.
Deacons' Fund Offering Tonight
The Maundy Thursday service will be an occasion for our church to give to the needs of our local community. The entire offering at this service will be given to the TCC Deacons' Fund. The Deacons' Fund enables our Deacons to respond to emergency needs among people of our church and community. You should have received a letter with a special envelope for this collection last week. Extra envelopes are available on the Communication Hub. Thank you for your generosity.

Good Friday Service, 7P in the Sanctuary
This service tells the story of Jesus' death, from the Gospel of John, by weaving readings, music and a message together as we enter into the darkness of Good Friday. Steven Weiss, TCC's Student Ministries Assistant, will preach.
There will not be an offering taken during the service; however a basket will be placed in Phillips Hall for anyone wishing to donate to the Deacons' Fund. When the service concludes, we exit in silence and darkness as we contemplate His death and wait in joyful hope for His resurrection on Easter Sunday.

Parking Issues, Please help!!
If you are physically able, please park in the Town Building Lot. You may drop off people or paraphernalia and then proceed to the parking lot. This will free up parking spots for visitors, the handicapped, our older population and those with young infants and toddlers. This is a practical way for us to show hospitality. Plan a few extra minutes, so you can park in the town building lot (or on the side streets) and walk in. Please do not park along the sides of the driveway, as these areas are fire lanes and must be kept clear
Thank you to Kevin Johnson, his sons and Jack Calverley for volunteering to be our parking lot attendants on Sunday!

An Update From Teddy Sayonkon In Liberia
"It is grateful to be in the position to help people truly in need. I was able to distribute school materials, clothing, shoes etc to both Antioch Baptist School & United Liberia Inland school. What a blessing to be able to do such. I personally want to extend thanks and appreciation to TCC members for their prayers and donations. We'll continue distribution to the LY hospital children department where we'll donate clothes & toys in few days.
I was able to received five barrels and still awaiting three more. Keep me in prayer that the remaining three arrive while I'm still here in order to continue my distribution."
Teddy will be returning from Liberia next week. Please pray for safety and protection as he travels.

Additional Ushers Still Needed...
Our mission:
To welcome every visitor and member to the house of God!
What is needed

You're not just opening doors, providing information, handing out bulletins or collecting the offering, you are making people feel welcome!
Could you help ONE
Sunday morning a month? Please contact Debbie Wilson at [email protected] or 508-358-7717.
Volunteer Offering Counters Needed ...
Are you accurate and reliable? Volunteers count the weekly offering (mostly checks for deposit) each Sunday, and we are in need of new helpers. Offering counters work in pairs. Contact Aimee Mury at [email protected] or 508- 358-7717, x303 if this might be a way you could help us. Training provided!
