Sunday School News

We had a fun and rowdy game of Bible Bingo on June 9 to end the Sunday School year with a bang.

From now through Labor Day, we are pleased to offer Crafts for Kids during the summer service. The kids start in church, as usual. After the Word for All Ages, they go to the nearby classroom for a story, snack, and craft or activity. We hope to see you over the summer!

Capital Improvements

Thanks to the Gillette Fundraising Team, our challenge matcher, and Memorial Funds, the church property is looking fantastic! In 2012, the entire front of the steeple was scraped, trim was rebuilt, and it was painted a nice, bright white. The rubber roof under the bell was replaced, and one dial of our original Howard clock was complete refurbished.

Hard at work on the steeple

At the Annual Meeting in January 2013, we approved the expenditures of more Gillette money to fix plaster in the narthex, repair the steps in front of Sweet Hall, do extensive exterior painting, build new columns under the portico outside the office, and replace the fire alarm panel. This will leave a back-up fund for emergencies and more projects as they arise. With the 2013-2014 Gillette season underway and the funds not yet allocated, we’re building quite a capital fund!

The Gillette Fundraising Team with the Minute Men

TCC is proud to run a concession stand at Gillette Stadium for the home football games, as well as a few concerts, soccer games, and special events. We’re having a fantastic year, filled with fellowship and sausages, popcorn and laughs. This is our fifth year, and all the money is going to capital projects to maintain our historic building. Thanks go to the workers who have helped over the last 87 events – we’ve had over 100 people work for at least one event, and some die-hard fans work many events each year. If you’re interested in getting involved, contact the church office or Sally Vincent.

The Gillette Crew ready for the crowds
