We are inviting you to complete the Church Assessment Tool (CAT), an on-line instrument that will help leaders gauge the strength, vitality, and trends in our church. The information gained from this assessment will be valuable in helping us, as members of church council, as we make decisions about the future of TLC.
In a few days, you will receive an email with a unique link to the CAT. Beginning next week, we are asking you to go online by clicking on the link provided and tell us about your experiences in and priorities for our church. Please do not discuss the survey or your answers with others as this may influence their answers. If you need a paper copy, please come to the office, and we will provide one for you along with a self-addressed stamped return envelope. All answers are strictly anonymous. We have no way of matching any assessment to a particular person, so please feel free to candidly share your perceptions, opinions and experiences.
Our future together is dependent on your participation and honest answers. If you have questions, please contact Beth Mercer at
buddyjoos@hotmail.com

TLC has been given a purple candle by the Isaiah Domestic Violence Task Force which is now placed on the sanctuary altar . Lighting a purple candle during our Church service lets people in the congregation know that, as people of God we stand with the sacredness of each person’s body. The purple candle symbolizes the hope that each person who has been hurt by verbal, emotional or physical violence in an intimate relationship has a place of safety in the Body of Christ.
“For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the lord – plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope.” Jeremiah 29:11
