I am Thankful
I am thankful for every teacher in our church. I am thankful
for every person who serves on a committee or a team. I am thankful for every
committee chairperson or team leader. I am thankful for every person who
invests time in a ministry outside the walls of TBC. I am thankful for every
person who brings a guest with him or her to our church. I am thankful for our
youth. I am thankful for our children. I am thankful for our preschoolers. I am
thankful for our parents who bring their children to TBC. I am thankful for
people who volunteer to do the little things that go unnoticed. I am thankful
to the new people who have joined our fellowship over the past year. I am
thankful to the old-timers who continue to be faithful. I am thankful to the
8:30 & 11:00 worshippers who do not attend at any other time. (I so wish I
could see you more.) I am thankful for the richness and diversity of our
ministry staff. I am thankful for our administrative assistant Ida. I am
thankful for our deacons. I am thankful for our trustees. I am thankful that we currently have an emergency need for workers in our preschool area. I am thankful for people who do things that don't appear to be all that holy like clean out gutters, replace lightbulbs, empty trash cans and decorate Christmas trees. I am thankful for a
beautiful location and facilities that enrich our worship of almighty God. I am
thankful for our willingness to focus on the world around us. I am thankful that
we will never be content with the current state of affairs and our desire to
continue to follow God on this journey called life. I am thankful that we can sometimes agree to disagree and still be brothers and sisters in Christ. I am thankful that our
giving has remained healthy in spite of a rough economy. That is the result of
faithful people, for which I am also thankful. There are not enough words or ways to express my
thankfulness.
I am thankful because
I am Tiburon Baptist Church.

Adoption of the 2010 Budget
On Sunday, Nov 22, during both morning worship services, the 2010 TBC budget was adopted. Our thanks to the stewardship committee for their excellent work during this stewardship season and a special thanks to the members of the committee who are rotating off in December: chairman Jerry Stubblefield, Martha Saul and David Spatz.

Women's Christmas Tea
Plan to join our ladies as they celebrate the season with one of their annual Christmas teas. This year there will be four locations: Tiburon, Kentfield, Novato and San Pablo due to the overwhelming response in past years. The date is Saturday, Dec 5th, from 2-4 pm. Select your location by signing up in the Gallery or sending an email to Beth Patel or Janet Prescott.

Christmas Music Festival
Bring the family for an evening with our children as they perform all the music they have been working on the fall. Sunday, December 6th at 6 p.m. |
Special Guest Comes to TBC!
Kids of all ages will want to be at dinner on Wednesday, Dec 9th, at 5:30 pm, for a very special appearance from a very special person. We are going to keep his identity a secret until he burst through the door, but trust me, this will be an incredible event for everyone. If you get here early, you might just hear him coming down the back stairs (sorry, no chimney) and you might get a glimpse of a reindeer or two
on the roof. Mark your calendars and make plans to be front and center when HE shows up. See you soon.

Christmas Musical Still Needs Help!
Your help may still be needed for the drama of the Community Christmas Musical coming on Dec 13, at 5 & 7 PM. The stage is up, but you may still help with finding the PROPS, coordinating the COSTUMES, and assisting with the MAKEUP. See Barb Dabney for a way to assist.

Community Christmas Musical
Are you ready for one of the highlights of the year at TBC? The choir and orchestra are ready, the actors are in place and it is the season. All we need is you! Make plans to bring your friends and neighbors to TBC's version of A Christmas Carol. Join us on Sunday, Dec 13th, at 5 pm or 7 pm. There will be a reception following the 7 pm performance. This is the one service of the year that you will not want to miss. Come early for a good seat.

Welcome to our Newest Members!
We want to take this opportunity to say welcome to our newest members at TBC. Stephen Aoki and Christopher Seng, both Golden Gate Seminary students, joined us from their respective churches in Hawaii and Fresno. Brien Leary made his profession of faith in Christ on Oct 25 and was baptized on Nov 22. Sonja Palumbo joined our fellowship on Nov 15. Please get to know and begin praying for these new members of the TBC family.
