BIG Wednesday
|
|
The week is a hectic, rush-rush-rush time for a lot of us. We have kids to take to practice, errands to run, chaos to maintain. By the time we stop what we're doing, it's nearing dinner time and often, we are still on the go. The time to connect as a family disappears in a flurry of homework and preparing to do it all over again tomorrow. When do we stop and spend time talking to our families? When do we sit down, enjoy a stress-free, tasty meal without the distraction of the blaring TV and ringing telephone? At BIG Wednesday!
| Dinner begins at 6:00 PM in the Telle Center and includes a tasty menu, prepared and served by our resident gourmet chef, Diane Leicham and her team. We serve buffet style and enjoy dinner together around tables. Children have the option to sit with family or friends and the best part? They eat free! We ask for a $5 donation for adults only. |  |
 | After dinner, we break into our children’s and youth programs, while adults join either Pastor Dave or Pastor Steve in their weekly classes. Parents with small children are invited to dynamic classes to enhance their parenting skills and develop faith in growing families. (Our potty training class has been a big hit!) Pastor Dave offers a weekly Bible study in an informal setting in the Telle Center. Dave brings the weekly text alive through historical teaching and humor, all the while addressing contemporary issues that face us in a post modern world. Pastor Steve leads a small group with the Bethel Series. This method of study uses a historical approach to the Hebrew-Christian heritage of faith with an overview of the Old and New Testaments. |
Wednesdays are BIG, challenging, fun, fulfilling, and an evening for ALL age groups. If you haven't yet joined us for good food and interesting thought, pull up a chair this week and see what's waiting for you. |

Are you feeling challenged to put your faith into action? Do you need something local to feel connected to? A dedicated group from TUPC serves breakfast at the Salvation Army on 6th and I Streets downtown on the second Saturday of the month. All that's required? 3 hours max! |
What a great way to get involved when your schedule is jam packed with other responsibilities. You don't have to be a great cook, or even a cook at all. Just be there at approximately 6:30am to help crack eggs or set up tables. Service begins at 8am and usually, we are done about 9:30am. Serving approximately 200 hungry Modesto residents goes quickly!
If you're interested, please see Don and Kathy Jepson or Walt and Leslie Cooley for more information. |

"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me." Matthew 25:35-36
Everything we do at TUPC is focused around our mission to "Love God, Love Others, and Make Disciples." Mission work, whether it is locally based or international, is the Love Others part! We are enthusiastic supporters of various outreach ministries in Modesto, the US, our denomination and abroad. |
