Thank You to our Youth Group adult volunteers

Thank you to all our adult volunteers who consistently support the Tri-Valley Youth Ministry and invest themselves in the lives of our students. Last night we honored over 20 of these adults who volunteer with things like:

leading small group discussions on Thursdays and Sundays
traveling with teens to/from events
building relationships with students
serving on the Parent Action Committee
much, much more

Thank you for caring for our teens. What you do is a tremendous blessing to the youth ministry and extremely valuable for students’ spiritual development. Anyone who would like to discover ways they can become involved in the youth ministry, please get in touch with Jacob or Lisa. We can never have too many mature, Christian adults on hand to positively influence our youth!

A Joyous Migration

admin — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 16:50:51 +0000

Thousands of Christians from across the country and around the world will make the journey to Malibu, California at the beginning of May. This sparks thoughts of the great festivals of God’s people throughout past centuries, coming together to sing praises, learn of God, and refresh their souls. The Pepperdine Bible Lectures (May 1-4, 2012) will again bring God’s people together. Don’t miss the beginning on Tuesday evening, May 1! Call (310) 506-4270 or visit www.pepperdine.edu/biblelectures for more information.

Planting Seeds of Faith

admin — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 07:13:39 +0000

A primary focus of TVCC ministry in 2012 will center around helping a new church get planted in the Bay Area. That’s a big, faith-driven goal. To help us all learn what that means, the elders have requested a single, 9:30 am adult class during the month of March to explore church planting.

For those four Sundays, Steve Martin will guide a lesson and discussion in the auditorium, dealing with questions such as: “Why does the Kingdom need new churches?” “How can a new church effectively target lost people?” “How does a new church get started?”

It’s vital for us all to share a common understanding and set of expectations for planting a new church, so we need everyone to attend. Plan now to be present at 9:30 am on March 4, 11, 18 AND 25. See you then!

Teens for Jeans

admin — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 07:09:48 +0000

Brianna Hill is collecting gently used jeans for homeless teens until Feb 16. Jeans in wearable condition of any size or style without holes or tears in them may be donated. There is a marked collection box in the foyer – thanks for your help!

Family Day

admin — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 07:08:02 +0000

Our next Family Day is coming up fast: Sunday, February 26. It’s the perfect time to invite a friend or neighbor. We will have our usual light breakfast and fellowship time at 9:30 am, and a kid-friendly worship service at 10:30 am. Plan to come and enjoy!

This year’s summer mission project will be serving at Opportunity Camp, June 16-23. The first Opportunity Camp training date has been changed to Feb. 19th.
