Courage and a Handrail

Dan and I were given tickets to a Wisconsin Badger football game. We got to our seats and were settling when I noticed a father and son walking up the steps toward us.

Awana begins

The 2008-2009 Awana year will kick off this coming Wednesday evening at 6:30 p.m. We are looking forward to our 15th Awana year at TBC.

Last year we added Puggles, a class for 2 year olds. So we have an Awana Club for 2 years through high school.

Picnic & volleyball

This Sunday, August 31st, is our annual end-of-summer picnic. We have Sunday School and Church as our normal schedule and then have a picnic. This year’s picnic will be at the Sam Kaufman home at W10377 Willow Creek in Waupun.

We will once again have a volleyball tournament. Pastor Rory was doing some trash talking Sunday, since his team squeaked out last year’s championship.

Missionary Immanuel Bozzi

This past Lord’s Day Immanual, Virginia, and Phillipe Boozi were our special guests. They are veteran missionaries to France planting a church in Paris.

Virginia is Mr. Shaeffer’s aunt and Immanual is a national Frenchman.

We benefited from both Immanual’s testimony and their challenge concerning the great need in France.
