Well, as summer draws to a close, l am sure many of you will be out the next two weeks. Schools start August fifth (city & county) and twelfth (Brookwood) so we do not have much time left for travel. Enjoy your time away.

As we get back in the Fall routine (starting in August) remember we resume Wednesday night suppers August 21. We will publish classes soon. Your brother in Christ,

The “Welcome Back” rehearsal is the best time to join choir, so if you like to sing and are available for Wednesday evening rehearsals Fall through Spring, please contact Tim Peck (tpeck@tfumc.com) for more information.

CONTEMPORARY WORSHIP TEAM MEMBER INVITATIONAL POTLUCK FELLOWSHIP Current and prospective Contemporary Worship Team Members are encouraged to fellowship together at the Praise Band Potluck on Tuesday, July 30 in the Fellowship Building!

Those interested in joining the Worship Team — including musical and technical volunteer positions — should email Tim Peck (tpeck@tfumc.com) for more information on getting started with the team. Tim does not "audition" interested members, but instead walks them through an Incorporation Process. The process is not scary. :)

Worship Team Eligibility: must be of High School age or older*, openness to the Worship Experience and being part of a focused team, proficiency/experience in musical or technical performance of some kind (see list below), and a cheerful mindset for the group.

*Previous church experience encouraged but not required. Tim Peck first began attending church by playing with a Praise Team, and recognizes how ministers can be ministered to as well…

Areas for Service on the Worship Team• Instruments (not limited to): drums, bass, electric and acoustic guitar,

piano/keys• Vocals (solo and/or ensemble)• Production: audio mixing, lighting operation/design, computer operation

for slides/lyrics/videos

Have a skill or play an instrument you think would benefit the Worship Team, but aren’t seeing it listed above? Have a desire to serve with the team, but aren't sure how? Email Tim!
