Dear Friends of TBC,
Our hearts are filled with gratitude as we reflect on the many blessings and gifts this ministry has received and given this year! Sometimes I’m asked how many people are benefiting from TBC Ministries and I honestly can’t tell them because it’s not something I have kept track of. So out of curiosity I looked back over this year’s calendar to try to come up with a pretty good estimate, and here is what I discovered. Because of the generosity of our friends and partners we were able to offer the community:
13 different weekly opportunities, 320 participants+ 15 facilitators
10 different monthly opportunities, 800 participating+ 10 facilitators
7 Special Events with 162 attending
A total of 407 events with 2,413 participants
More than 200 people participate monthly
We are very grateful we could offer more opportunities, and for the increase in participation, but what is most important to us is how these opportunities are helping people live more free, whole, and connected!
From our humble beginning, the spiritual path that TBC has taken is very simply, LOVE! We make a difference in the world by being love, living loved and loving all unconditionally. With this as our purpose, we have come to realize how important it is to live in the moment with awareness of our thoughts, emotions, and bodies. We have learned practices that help us live with our hearts open, and our minds curious about whatever arises. All that we have learned and practiced is freeing us experience more of our true, unconditioned self, the divine person God created!
For nearly ten years, through gifts, large and small, God’s generosity has flowed out, providing a place and opportunities for spiritual growth, healing, and authentic connection. We have witnessed hearts awakening to Love’s presence and this Love has transformed lives and made a difference in our community and the world. Your financial support has allowed us to make these opportunities available to all without charge. You are a blessing to TBC and to the world!
As this year comes to an end, we once again invite you to help us continue offering these life-enriching opportunities in 2018! To cover next year’s expenses, TBC needs an additional $30,000.00 in donations. Will you partner with us and help meet this financial need? Year-end donations are the seeds of opportunity for the coming year. Monthly donations are also needed and appreciated. Perhaps you would prefer to make a monthly donation of $25, $50 or $100. No gift is insignificant and all are deeply appreciated.
During this holy season, may you be filled with a deep awareness of God’s loving presence within. May the Light and Love of Christ shine brightly through you as you gather with family and friends. Together we can create a world where all are loved and everyone belongs.
With much love and Gratitude,
Renee Brunette
Director
