=============================
2007 GLOBAL PROJECT: We're buying a farm for Christmas!



Goal: $2470

What do you get when you give two pigs, two alpacas, two sheep, two cows, and two goats? The satisfaction of providing new hope and lasting impact for up to 10 families in need around the world! These farm animals will bring smiles to the faces of moms and dads who will be able to feed their children and increase their family incomes, thanks to you. The next best thing to seeing a child milk, shear, or care for one of these animals is to share the joy of this gift with someone close to your heart.

Save your pocket change (even the paper kind!)
and bring it to Collegium or the Gathering each week.

=============================
SUNDAY COLLEGIUM--TFB Constitution

Sunday, December 17, 2006, the Collegium began a biblical, theological, and practical discussion of the Torrance First Baptist Constitution.

We are on a journey as fellow travelers.
Some of us have been journeying a long time and know more.
Others are new to the journey and have fresh eyes and fresh wonder.
Yet we are fellow travelers.
All have a voice.

So,

Live intentionally.
Look for the fingerprints of God.
Wonder.
Think.
Ask questions.

Bring your gathered bits to the Sunday Collegium, 11 AM in the college room.
