Meetings

As we move towards further loosening of restrictions, we find ourselves with the wonderful predicament of sharing space! Please make sure all your in-person meetings are scheduled through the Church Office to make sure we have adequate space to accommodate everyone's needs. You can email the request to Office@tequestapres.org
Music this Week
American folk sacred music arises out of a lived experienced of people. This Sunday we offer four genres of American song as a part of our summer worship experience. Opening with a Shaker hymn, we move to the well-known spirituals, All Night, All Day, Kum Ba Yah and Peace Like a River. Tucked into the service you will hear a coming of faith song by Noel Paul Stookey, known as Paul from Peter Paul and Mary fame. If you stay to hear the postlude, you will enjoy a keyboard jazz version of Go Down Moses. All are musical gifts of our American heritage. Come and share this special music Sunday with us!
Family Ministries Spotlight

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to visit Shelby’s Mission Table after church this past Sunday. In just 30 minutes she was able to raise $248 for her Kindness Cup! You can follow Shelby on her facebook page. We look forward to hearing more about this faithful young disciple and the goodness God has placed on her heart to help others.
Missions Update on African Havens

We are very happy to witness how God has remained faithful to the children, young adults and volunteers who have successfully navigated the past year. Click here to read about African Havens, the blessings they have received and future opportunities for growth.
YOUTH GROUP UPDATE

Last Saturday we took a group of five youth to volunteer at Feeding South Florida. Our group took part in a food sorting event at the warehouse. This was a wonderful opportunity for our youth group to serve others in our community. After working all day we enjoyed a fellowship dinner at the Cracker Barrel.

Vacation Bible School is a week full of Bible adventure! We will take a journey back to a time long ago and far away place as we quest for the King’s armor. Knights of North Castle is a time for children to armor up with truth, justice, peace, faith and salvation. There will be cool music, exciting science, creative crafts, fun recreation, and unforgettable Bible stories. We can’t wait to see you at the castle! . Our preschool enrollment is FULL, however we do still have space for elementary students.

VBS Wish List: Look for the snack donation board this Sunday.
