The Holidays are Coming!

Hey guys! 

I love this time of year.  The weather actually gets cooler, football is in full swing, and there is a break from the normal routine of things.  Students get a break from school, adults get a break from work, and we all get a chance to spend time with our families.

With that in mind, be sure to remember that next week, there will be no Wednesday night activities at Tallowood.  That means no Heartlight, no Acteens, no Impact, and no ReFuel.  And since next Thursday is Thanksgiving Day, there will be no FreeSpace either.  I know, I know, what are you supposed to do with all that free time?  I hope you do what I plan on doing.  Spend some time with your family, enjoy some time at home, and eat lots of turkey.  Have a great week!

BIG Sunday

Posted October 16, 2008 by tallohood
Categories: Middle School

This Sunday is our middle school’s first BIG Sunday.  We will meet at 10:15 in North Tower Room 202 (the 7th grade department).  All middle schoolers will be together for a time of fellowship, giveaways, and a game or two.  After we meet, each grade will go to their department for their normal Sunday school time. 

 

The whole point of BIG Sunday is for students to have a chance to not only invite, but BRING a friend or two to Tallowood.  We want to reach out to students and families who don’t go to church and may not know Christ.  What better way to do this than going to their house and picking them up?  We hope to have a great crowd of new middle school students this Sunday, so bring a friend… or two.. or three!

This Week!

We had a great Sunday this week as we opened our new worship center.  God has provided for us in so many ways and we are grateful to all the folks that have put so much time and energy into completing the buildings!  This Sunday our students also promoted to their new classes and things went very well.  Everyone seemed happy to meet their new leaders and to get into a new space.  It was exciting!

As we move into this new year, I want to remind you again of the Wednesday Night Bible Studies we have each week.  Middle school and high school students meet at the Xchange at 7 pm to hang out and around 7:30 - 7:45 we divide up into middle school and high school groups.  High school students stay and meet in the Xchange for worship and Bible study while middle school students meet in a connecting room for snacks, Dr. Pepper, games, and a Bible study.  We have had some great gatherings so far this year and some good teaching too!  Be sure and come out to the Xchange on Wednesdays for some good ole Bible Study and time with your friends.  We’ll be looking for you!

This Sunday is going to be quite a day!  We will be moving into our new worship center, starting a new worship schedule, AND promoting into our new youth departments.  If you haven’t heard, the new schedule goes like this:

We’re looking forward to seeing you in your new departments and in the service on Sunday.  Remember, now all the services will be in the new Worship Center and all youth departments are on the second floor of the North Tower.  Just head up to the second floor and look for the sign hanging in the walkway to point you in the right direction.  Can’t wait to see you this weekend!
