June 26-30th 6:00-8:30pm For children completing Grades K-5 & their 4 and 5 yr. old siblings as we learn what it means to follow Jesus! Tell your friends and spread the word. June 26th-30th is going to be a great week and you don't want to miss it! This summer's underground adventure following the Light of the World is approaching quickly. If you have not signed up to help out, please contact Cynthia Keen (
[email protected]) and let her know how you can help.
A War on Worry Charles Swindoll asked, “Did you know that worry erases the promises of God from your mind?” Jesus taught the people in Matthew 6:31 not to be anxious about life. He said not to worry about what we are going to eat or wear – two of our most basic needs. The Lord encouraged Joshua, “Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:9). We can claim the promise that God will take care of our needs. It may not be in our own timing. It may not be the way we would have done it. Timothy Keller recently tweeted, “Worry is when you do not believe God will get it right.”
From Pastor Brad
God has already taken care of our greatest need. We needed to be cleansed from all our sin and set free from sin’s curse. We are forgiven, through the cross of Jesus the Son of God, of every sin we have ever or will ever commit. Take it to the Lord in prayer. He loves and cares for you.
Brad

Our Church Family
Dear Tega Cay Baptist Church,
Thank You Note to the Fellowship of
Our heartfelt thanks to many of you who sent cards or spoke your shared sorrow to us with the recent death of Becky's Mom. Thanks also for the gift in Mom's name to the Gideon's; both Mom and Dad have been active in the Gideon's for some years, so your gift was especially appropriate. We do not grieve as those who have no hope, but this journey is easier to walk with a church family beside us! Thank you

We would like to make this a quarterly event, so if you would be willing to serve, even if only once a year, that would be great (we provide dinner for the children and the volunteers!).

Sunday Night Live Semester Challenge Reward Fun Night There were eight children who memorized both the fall and spring Semester Challenges in SNL this year. Because of the hard work, they enjoyed an evening of fun at Adventure Landing in Pineville. We had a great time playing putt-putt, riding go-karts and bumper boats, eating pizza and playing arcade games.
Sunday Morning Volunteers Needed We still have room on our Sunday Morning Worship Hour team for several more volunteers to join our ministry to our precious little ones. If you or someone you know might enjoy a little play time or sharing a story with our preschoolers and babies once a month or as a substitute, please let Pastor Matt or Cynthia Keen know and we will get you plugged in!
