CHILDREN Our well supervised Nursery and Children’s
programs offer a warm and caring atmosphere.
Our “JAMTowne” entrance is in the lobby next to
the coffee bar!
COMMUNION Jesus gave this memorial to remind us of the price
He paid for our sins – death on a cross. Christians
are invited to meditate on God’s love and grace as
they participate.
OFFERING We give out of our love for God to support His
work here on earth. If you are a guest we
welcome you to express your gratitude but do not
feel pressured.
DECISIONS At the end of the service an invitation is extended
and is an opportunity for you to walk forward to
accept Jesus as your Savior, rededicate your life,
transfer your membership or ask for prayer and
spiritual counsel.
BAPTISM Immersion in water pictures the death and burial
of our old life without Jesus and the beginning of
our new life as His follower. It is the moment
when God’s grace unites with our faith providing
forgiveness of sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit.

THIS WEEK’S ACTIVITIES
STUDENT MINISTRY
Towne South Students is all about groups!
Being in the right group is important. We want 6-12th grade
students to be connected to our student ministry; and one of
the best ways to do that is to get plugged into a Small Group! All of our groups
meet on Sunday morning from 10-11 AM. Join a group today!
Big Group meets every Wednesday, 6-7:30 PM “BIG Group” is all about being together and belonging! All
middle and high school students are invited to come hang out, hear a practical
message, and be encouraged. Dinner - 5:30 PM ($3 per person for the meal). Big
Group meets until 7:30 PM.

CIY Move 2018 is July 2-7, 2018! Our trip to
Lee University in Cleveland, TN to attend CIY Move is one
of the most powerful, life-changing events in which our
students participate. Move is a five-day, high school only
event (9-12th grades), designed to amplify God's call on
students' lives to become Kingdom workers. The cost is $400 per student. Visit
tsstudents.com/events/ciy to sign up or contact Corbin at [email protected]
for more information. (Deposits are due May 27th.) Please plan on joining us
for a night of musical worship and prayer on Saturday, June 16 at 6 PM. All
funds raised from this event will help support our students attending CIY Move.
The ATTIC - Fridays at 7:00 PM (The ATTIC is open on May 11th!)
Middle and high school students are invited to come hang out with
friends on Fridays (unless otherwise stated) from 7:00 PM to 10:00
PM. It only costs $5 for three hours of fun! For more information,
please see our website at tsstudents.com/the-attic. You can also
contact our Student Minister, Corbin, at [email protected].
Summer Camp is a great opportunity for
students of all ages to grow in their faith.
Towne South believes in the power of camp so
much that we pay $50 per student to go! We
send students to two different Christian camps:
Roanoke Christian Camp in Washington, NC and
Camp Rudolph in Yale, Va. Both camps offer dates for elementary, middle and
high school students during June, July and August. We are recommending that
our high school kids, ages 14-17, attend the July 15-20 camp session. For kids
ages 11-14, we recommend the June 17-22 camp session; and for kids ages 10-
13, we recommend the July 22-27 camp session. For elementary age kids, we
are recommending the June 10-15 camp session. All recommended sessions are
being held at Roanoke Christian Camp. Complete information and
registration is available at tscoc.com/summer-camp. Pick up a Summer Camp
card at The Hub that has the $50 promo code you will need when you register
online. For questions, contact either Sissy (elementary) at [email protected] or
Corbin (middle/high school) at [email protected].

FINAL REHEARSAL Wednesday, May
9th at 6 PM! Our kids have done an
amazing job preparing for their special
presentation on Mother’s Day, May 13th!
So that we are READY for that day, we
need all kids participating, especially
those with solos, at the FINAL REHEARSAL
on Wednesday, May 9th at 6 PM in the
Main Auditorium. This will allow for the
kids to practice with mics and get their
places marked out. You may pick them up
at 6:45 PM following the rehearsal, or at 7:30 PM, which is after our lesson time.
The children will share their Mother’s Day presentation for the opening of BOTH
services! On the actual day, Sunday, May 13th
, we need all participants here
no later than 8:25 AM, to be ready to open the 1st
service. The children will be
singing for both services, so they need to stay through Mid JAM (Sunday School)
and long enough to sing for the opening in the 2nd
service. After this, they are
free to leave, if needed. The children have worked hard on this and it will be a
BLESSING to everyone, especially MOMs! Any questions, please see Sissy,
contact [email protected], or text 619-2592. Please note: we do have quite a
few children that haven’t been to the rehearsals; and therefore, do not know
the songs. I will not put these children in an awkward and possibly
embarrassing situation; so they will have an activity in the classroom with
another teacher until we get back and resume our class time together.
RIDE THE TOWNE SOUTH BUS TO SEE TOBY MAC IN CONCERT!
All Towne South senior saints are
invited to attend Seniors by the Sea
on Tuesday, June 5. This is a day
set apart to celebrate and honor
senior members of area churches.
All festivities for this event, themed
“The Best is Yet to Come,” will be held on the campus of MACU with registration
and a continental breakfast beginning at 8:45 AM. Ben Cachiaras, Senior Minister
of Mountain Christian Church in Joppa, MD will be keynote speaker. There will
also be great worship, great workshops and a great lunch catered by our own Ed
Griffin! The cost is $20 per person. Sign up at The Hub today!
SAVE THE DATE! Please plan on
joining us for a night of musical
worship and prayer on Saturday, June
16 at 6 PM. This will be a great evening
of fellowship over a meal, musical
worship, and prayer. All funds raised through this event will support our high
school students as they travel to Cleveland, TN July 2-7 to attend the Christ in
Youth Move Conference. (Information about this conference can be found on the
reverse under “Student Ministry.”)
DISCOVERING THE TRUTH SERMON SERIES
Today’s message will be the final
sermon in Brad’s current five-part series
on “Discovering the Truth.” Today, we
will explore the “Truth about Eternity.” If
you missed any of the previous
sermons of this series, you can view
them on our website at tscoc.com/
media/sunday-morning-videos . The messages are also available as podcasts in
ITunes. Just look for the TS logo!
LET’S HEAR IT FOR OUR MOMS!

TODAY HAS BEEN DESIGNATED “DECISION SUNDAY.” Maybe
you have been considering for a good while your next step—
whether it be your initial acceptance of Christ as Lord and
Savior, or placing your church membership at Towne South.
We hope that this special day will be your day to make that
step!
SAY CHEESE! Next Sunday, May 13, we decided to
honor all of our moms with a free photo booth so
they could take pictures with their entire families!
Towne South’s own, Katie Anderson, will be
available before and after both services to capture
a special remembrance photo of Mother’s Day
2018 for your memory book! Afterwards, the
photos will be posted on Towne South’s Facebook
page for your easy download. A church-wide email will be sent to let you know
when your photos are ready.
Towne South ladies are invited to the Area Ladies
Fellowship Meeting being held at South Mills
Church of Christ on Monday, June 4, 2018 at
7:00 PM. The cost for dinner is $5.00 and an

Song. Y’all Come: For He satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good
things. (Psalm 107:9) Lou Godfrey will leave at 6:15 PM from the parking area
