TC Update/Announcements- November 2015

Hello Friends,
As we look back on October, first and foremost I’d like to thank our volunteer team who covered two Sundays of church while Stacey and I were gone celebrating our Ten Year Wedding Anniversary.  We are so thankful to God for blessing our church with such a great team that faithfully serves on Sunday mornings with set up, Children’s church, music, etc.  In addition, special thanks goes out to John Williamson and Mark Wester who both filled in for preaching on Sunday.  They both did a great job encouraging our church in the area of marriage, and in the area of being an authentic Christian community.  Thank you John and Mark!
Later in the month, our church celebrated the baptism of three members of our church.  Congratulations to Fabio Avelino Dossantos and to Margaret & Odin Schaffner!!!  This is a significant milestone in their faith journey, and we pray that God continues to blow them away with his love for them… and with a deeper revelation of his call on their lives.

Youth Group-

TC Youth -“The Road” 
Youth Group for students Grades 6-12
Being a young adult is not an easy road.  Life is hard, choices are many and challenging, and we want to create a space where teens and pre-teens can come together to encourage and support each other and where we can help point them to the true love of Jesus Christ.  Romans 8:38-39
We usually meet bi-weekly during the traditional north American school year to have fun, play games, eat food and grow together in our knowledge of Christ and his love for us.
Our meetings in November will be as follows
  • Sunday, Nov 8 – 5:30-7:30pm @ Tamarindo Church
  • Sunday, Nov 15 – 5:30-7:30pm @ Tamarindo Church
Also… if you are free, support your fellow youth groupers at the beechnuts play on November 22nd!  And support your friends in the movement dance studio performance on November 29th!
We have dinner together every Sunday that we meet – if you want to volunteer to make something one night, please let us know!
