Tellico Village Community Church is reaching out to the people of Haiti through special offerings  on January 17th and 24th. The offerings will be channeled through Church World Service.
In Port-au-Prince, CWS's Don Tatlock describes "people sleeping outside in make-shifts tents on street sides, parks or any open area. You see signs written on sheets asking for water and food... The situation is horrific." Tatlock assures, "CWS is responding."
Tatlock reports that CWS's partner staff from Service Chretien d'Haiti asks for continued prayers as she continues to provide relief for her community and her own children.
Church World Service is providing emergency supplies via local partners in Haiti, and is working with them on temporary shelter, food, and health assistance, while also supporting communities in the long struggle to rebuild.
In his January 17th sermon, TVCC's Senior Pastor Martin Singley spoke about practical ways Christians can be most helpful in tragic situations like the one in Haiti.
Please give generously!

With the dawning of the year 2010, Tellico Village Community Church looks forward to a most exciting year!
As the year begins, we welcome to our staff the Rev. Dr. John Orr to serve as our Minister of Music. John is excited about the challenge of building upon the very strong music ministry of which we are most proud. He looks forward to working with our outstanding Chancel Choir, and with the other music staff - Handbell Director Joy Merder, WednesdayChurch! Music Director Nancy Owens, and interim organist Jane Salmon. One of John's first duties will be to begin a search for a permanent church organist. John and his wife Darla now reside in Tellico Village with their two sons, Bryson and Rolle.
2010 will mark the start of a children's Sunday School class (in January), and a very deliberate effort to reach out to the younger families in our communities. Our overall Christian Education program will expand, offering a wide variety of classes and discussions designed to help people grow as Christians.
As Springtime approaches we are very excited about our first church-wide retreat. Calvin Miller will be the leader. The retreat will be held at Lake Junaluska, North Carolina on the weekend of April 9th - 11th. More than 120 people have already signed up!
We'll be funding and building another Habitat For Humanity house in 2010, and looking for new ways to love our neighbors.
And then - next Christmas - we anticipate opening our beautiful new sanctuary!

Pat Provart Shines in Final Performance!
With a brilliant presentation of Tom Fettke's cantata "How Great Our Joy!", Music Director Pat Provart has concluded eleven years of faithful ministry at Tellico Village Community Church.
The Sanctuary was filled Sunday night with worshipers who were deeply moved by a wonderful presentation of the Christmas story. With music and drama accompanied by orchestra, "How Great Our Joy!" provided a beautiful backdrop for appreciating the tremendous job Pat has done developing our music ministry and providing the congregation with music that uplifts and inspires.
Pat began her ministry as Music Director in 1998 following the retirement of Ann Trentham Nestor who had founded the Community Church choir some ten years earlier. Mrs. Provart first joined our staff as the church's organist in 1990. During Pat's tenure, the Chancel Choir has grown to 80-voices, two Handbell Choirs were developed with the hiring of Joy Merder, and many smaller ensembles were formed. Pat also initiated contacts in the larger music community to find Knoxville area musicians to provide orchestral accompaniment for major presentations.
With a rousing standing ovation at the conclusion of "How Great Our Joy", the overflowing sanctuary of worshipers expressed their great appreciation for Pat and all the musicians, singers, actors and support personnel who made the performance possible.
We wish Pat and her husband Bob all the blessings of God as they enjoy their retirement years!
