Staff Announcement
Rosalind, Church Bookkeeper, and Pastor Ray, Admin Pastor, have submitted their resignation, with their last day of service being December 31st, 2025.

2026 Panama English Camp Mission Team
TCCC will partner with the Penonome Chinese Christian Church (PCCC) to hold the 2nd English Camp for middle and high school students from May 28 to June 8, 2026. The camp is for local students aged 13–18.
The purpose of this mission trip is to assist PCCC in developing youth community outreach ministries, strengthen cross-church participation in missions, and nurture a new generation of mission disciples. This initiative supports the vision of PCCC’s new church building project and lays the foundation for future youth mission collaboration.
The team will be led by Pastor Kimberly Zhao from the Mandarin congregation. For inquiries, please contact Pastor Kimberly or Deacon Ken Ma.

The church’s executive committee has approved the use of $50,000 from the “YCK Memorial Mission Fund” for the 2026 fiscal year to support the church in its missionary work. Please refer to the church website for application guidelines and download the application form. Applicants should submit their applications via email, with the subject line “YCK Memorial Mission Fund Application”. The deadline is January 31, 2026. All applications will be reviewed and selected by the Fund Committee before being submitted to the church’s executive committee for final approval.

105 Gibson
We praise God for the meaningful celebrations throughout our Centre this Christmas season. For the 10 families who attended our Arabic Outreach dinner, the 250 seniors at our Older Adults Service’s celebration, and the 65 guests at our Community Needs dinner, we pray that they experienced Jesus in a very real and powerful way. Please pray for the remaining Christmas celebrations still to come! May Christ be honoured, celebrated and experienced!  

Mandarin Congregation
Pray for God’s guidance and fruit in the Missional Discipleship sermon series in the first quarter of the new year, and for wisdom, unity, and clarity as the team plans the May 16–18 retreat.

The Gathering Table
We would like to invite you to The Gathering Table on Wednesday, January 28th, at 6:30 pm. It’s a chance to deepen connections within our English congregation while welcoming those who may not usually attend on Sundays – an opportunity to invite your non-Christian friends and anyone seeking a spiritual home. There’s no set program; join us for dinner and enjoy some time together afterwards to connect. Registration Deadline: Sunday, January 18th

We’re looking for volunteers! You can indicate your interest in volunteering when you register for the event. If you have any questions, please contact communications@tccc.ca

Parenting Foundations 2026
This 4-part workshop, beginning January 11th, will be taking place over 4 sixty-minute sessions on Sundays via Zoom with our children’s pastor, Rev. Wesley Lim, in order to help reframe the parenting mindset from a Gospel perspective. The desire is to close the gap that is so often unintentional between our relationship with Jesus and the call to parenting, while also having a chance to connect with and dialogue with other parents in our congregation for mutual encouragement and conversation. All parents with kids up to 1.5 years old are welcome!

*This is also a prerequisite for any first-time parents who are interested in being included in our Parent & Child Dedication happening on Family Day Weekend Sunday Service.*

Our English Congregation’s monthly prayer event will be happening today from 11:15 to 12:15 pm in Room 308. Come out to begin the year by seeking the Lord together for the upcoming ministry year.

ACEM Missions Committee:

The Missions Committee would like to start the new year by praying for each of us as supporters, senders, and our missions workers, using the word of God in Isaiah 40:31.

“But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.”

Please pray for all mission workers and the Field Visitation Teams. May God bless their dedicated ministries.
