A �nal word...

I want to thank you again for the privilege of being your interim pastor for the past twelve months. Connie and I have enjoyed the opportunity of walking with you this last year and are con�dent that God will �nish what He has begun in you. We are expecting great things from you as you continue growing in Christ.

Can I o�er some �nal encouraging words? 1. Keep praying. Pray for each other, every committee, the sta�, the deacons, the SS teachers and don’t forget to pray for yourself that God will be able to guide you in following Him. 2. Keep attending. The ministry of presence is crucial in the life of the church. Your presence week in and week out speaks volumes about your commitment to Christ and TRBC. 3. Keep giving. Together in Faith has taken a huge �nancial burden o� of the budget and the church will soon be in a position to allocate more resources to ministry for the �rst time in quite a while. Your faithfulness in following through with your commitment will greatly help your church moving forward. 4. Keep serving. By serving through your church, you are able to make a Kingdom impact in the lives of people. TRBC is blessed to have you here and your continued involvement in ministry makes the church stronger.

Thanks again for every word of a�rmation and every act of kindness shown to Connie and me. Our lives have been enriched as a result of being with you. We love you and pray God’s best for you.

Bro. Bobby

CHURCHWIDE PRAYER MEETINGWednesday June 3, 6:30 p.m.

We are asking everyone to attend this special time of prayer as we speci�cally pray for a new pastor, the future of our church and the many activities of our summer months. This type of meeting has proven to be a signi�cant blessing in the past and the Deacon body has voiced their desire for this evening of prayer. It is of utmost importance that we join together in asking God for his hand of blessing upon our church for the months ahead. Make this a priority in your weekly schedule. Adult choir and children activities will go on as scheduled. Students and Wednesday night Bible study will meet in the Worship Center.

These men have sung together for many years and will be a blessing to you as they share God's love through music.

Men's Cake Bake FellowshipSunday, June 21

It is time once again for the male population of our church to enter the sacred domains of the household kitchen and prepare some culinary delights, hopefully suited to the human palate. In other words, guys go make something good to eat and let’s have a fellowship to celebrate. Prizes will be awarded in several cateogories. Come to evening worship and join us for a good time afterwards. Please have your creations in the fellowship suite for our judges by 6:15 p.m.
