Construction Projects Update

Construction is underway for the new security lighting on the church compound. The first two lights were installed yesterday, June 22. The other new lights are being installed today. It looks like everything should be done this week and you can see the changes this Sunday June 27.

Also the new wires have been installed to service the additional LUKU meter at the parsonage. We have paid TANESCO for the meter and installation but TANESCO is waiting for a 3 phase LUKU meter. They say it should take a month for the meter to arrive and then they will arrange an appointment for installation. When possible I will post pictures of the new Security lights. I will also post pictures of the compound with the new lights up and working.

Pot Luck Supper this Sunday. For certain this time. Okay, last time I put an announcement for a Pot Luck on the Blog I was mistaken. This time I am sure. We will have a Potluck supper this Sunday, June 27 for the three families who are leaving the church. Please bring your favorite food or bitings and join us for fellowship. This will be the last opportunity for fellowship with John and Anu Avery (and Anu's good cooking). The Collums are also leaving but will be with us for another couple of Sundays before departing for Germany and Andrew's next duty assignment. The Metzel's will also be leaving us but have been delayed due to paperwork problems from the Congo. Please pray for them as they are spending a couple of extra weeks with us.

New Library Books

Many thanks to Scott and Mboyo Metzel for some excellent additions to our church Library. They have given us a large number of books on a variety of subjects. I would like to call attention to several books from Navpress. Navpress is the publishing arm of The Navigators, an international Missions organization headquartered in Colorado Springs, USA.



There are three group or individual study guides on Spiritual Journaling, Writing your Spiritual Biography and Contemplative Bible Reading. These Three titles are part of the Spiritual Formation Series of Study Guides from Navpress. They would make a good series of Bible Studies for a Small group meeting.

There is also a copy of two books by Jerry Bridges in one volume. The Pursuit of Holiness and its sequel, The Practice of Godliness. This is a small sample of the books we received. Stop by and see what else is available in your Church Library. The Library is open every Sunday for 30 Minutes following the Morning Worship.

Pot Luck and Business Meeting Sunday

This Sunday we will be blessed with a Pot Luck Meal for all to enjoy after morning worship. Also we will have a regularly scheduled business meeting to follow the meal. And if this were not enough John and Anu will be back from their trip to help with leading us in worship. All these combine to make this one Sunday you will not want to miss.
We are still enrolling in our Sunday school classes as well. There is an age- grouped class for you. Classes start at 9:30 on Sunday Morning and finish in time for Morning Worship Service. Coffee and Tea are available so come early for the fellowship, encouragement and excitement of studying God's Word with a small group of friends.

Weekday Bible Studies

In addition to our sunday Morning activities we have four midweek bible studies that meet in Church members homes around the city. Thursday night at 5 pm (1700) in Upanga at the home of Dr. Vijay and Rita Somgal and also at 5 pm (1700) in Tabata. On Wednesday Night there are two meetings as well. One at the church at 5:30 pm (1730) and at the home of Solomon and Anna Mwasha on the way to Mbezi at 5:30 pm (1730). For more information on how to find the locations feel free to call and talk to Pastor Eric Hiatt at 0222774423 (TTCL Land Line) or 0777180097 Cell phone.
