TCPC News for September 16
This Week During Worship...
9:00 AM Service
Membership Vows: Rachel Sebourn
As we seek the glory of Christ and the good of the Bluegrass, we believe God is calling us to take seriously the issue of racial justice in our community. In light of this, we have created applications that we’d like everyone to consider: one step for your head, heart, and hands.
Learn more about these applications on our website:
Sunday School Pods Start September 20
On September 20, we will start a new way of doing Sunday School that we’re calling “Sunday School Pods.” These will be inter-generational educational opportunities for everyone in our church. These small groups (small enough to practice social distancing in classrooms across the building) will meet each Sunday from 10:10-10:50, and the theme for this Fall is “Stories from Genesis.”
5th Graders and younger may attend a Children’s Sunday School class for their age if the parent chooses (more info below), but please know that they are welcome in these Pods, which are being designed for all ages.
Sign up today at tcpca.org/pods or email Mark Randle with any questions at mrandle@tcpca.org.
Children's Sunday School Starts This Sunday
PLEASE NOTE: this announcement is only for parents who are attending Sunday School Pods.
Children's Sunday School will also start this Sunday, September 20. There will be three classes offered:
Preschool, PreK, and Kindergarten
1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades
4th & 5th grades
We are strictly limited to only 15 children per class. If you would like for your child(ren) to attend a Children's Sunday School class instead of attending a pod with you, you must RSVP (link below). Children will be screened (temperature check) before entry to the Sunday School rooms, and will remain socially-distanced while in their classroom. Parents must drop off and pick children up from classes, regardless of their age. Contact childsundayschool@tcpca.org with any questions
Foundations Weekend - October 16-17
Registration is now open for our next membership class on October 16-17. The sessions will be Friday night and Saturday morning, and breakfast and dinner are provided. We invite anyone who is interested in pursuing membership and learning more about our church history and theology. To sign up, go to tcpca.org/foundations. Please email Nate Jones with any questions at njones@tcpca.org.
Parish Groups Starting in September
Parish Groups will be resuming in September! In light of the complexity of in-person gathering due to Covid 19, we aim to keep Parish Groups as simple as possible for the new year. Therefore, you will not need to sign up for a group this fall, but the groups from last year will remain in place. You will be hearing from your Parish Group leader in the coming weeks!
If you are new to Parish Groups, please click here to sign up.
If you would like to be reassigned to a new group, email Mark Randle (mrandle@tcpca.org) and he will get you in a group.
Men’s Bible Study
The Wednesday Noon Men’s Bible Study has started and will continue to meet both in-person (in the Lower Level Boardroom) and simultaneously online (using Zoom). We will resume our study of Ephesian with chapter 5. Paul explains to the Ephesians (and each of us today!) how we are to live as Christ’s disciples. We have a good time of fellowship and prayer for one another. Men of all ages are welcome. Come join us! If you have any questions or need additional information, please email Harry Standinger at hstandin@hotmail.com
Company of Men
Company of Men has started and will continue each Thursday at 7:00 am. We will be meeting at TCPC in the lower level this fall. Company of Men is a wonderful way for men to enjoy fellowship, study the Bible and pray for one another (we also discuss various other topics!). If you have any questions, please email Mark Randle at mrandle@tcpca.org.
Mom's Day Out Openings
Our Mother's Day Out program is up and running, and we are so excited to serve 1-4 year olds this year! We still have two spots left in our 3/4 year old classroom. Contact Malisa Anderson at mdo@tcpca.org if you are interested!
