TPCC is pleased to host Johnny Wray, guest preacher on Sunday, February 17th at both services. Rev. Wray's sermon title will be "The Bountifull Eye" and is inspired by the scriptures of Luke 16:19 - 31 and Proverbs 22:9.

As the Director of Week of Compassion since 1992, Rev. Wray oversees the day-to-day operations of WOC Pastoral visits to disaster sites, projects, program and partners. Week of Compassion, in collaboration with Mike Mazaika's fire relief efforts in Ramona, recently provided $5,000 in funds to Christ in Action to help those who were affected by the the summer fires.

Please join us in welcoming Rev. Johnny Wray at either service on Sunday. His message will inspire you!
