Happy New Year :: One Thing
The New Year gives an opportunity to look back at what was and forward to what could be. For this stand alone message we will be looking at two people from the Bible that have a past and a future together to see what we can learn about God's will for us as we enter into the new year.

Small Group Registration Weekends | Jan 5-6 & 12-13
We believe God created us to live in relationship with others, and only then, can we live the full life He intends for us. Sharing life through community is part of our design, but meaningful relationships aren't always easy to find. That's why small groups exist—to make these life-changing relationships relevant and accessible to you. Our Winter Small Group semester is starting in January! If you aren’t currently in a Small Group, this is your chance to get connected with one! thorncreek.church/smallgroups

TC Kids

ThornCreek Children’s Ministry strives to partner with families to raise children in the way of Jesus. It’s our goal for children to be transformed by the love of God, to grow in their walk with God, surrender their lives to God, and be a light in the world for others to know God in the same way.

Our curriculum takes the kids through the Bible in a year and they are invited into The Big God Story to experience it and discover who God is and how they fit into His plan!

We believe that parents have a huge impact on the faith of their children! Every Monday, parents are emailed a Family Bible Study that you can do throughout the week with your kids. We also have a repeating 6-week Spiritual Parenting small group that you can be a part of to learn more about raising your children to know God!

We have classes available each weekend for Infants through 5th grade.

All volunteers have passed background checks and we have security procedures in place to create a safe environment for your kids.

Worship Service Info
Expand
Did you come with kids? | The teaching time in our Worship Center is designed for adults (Middle School and older). Children, 5th grade and younger, will be much more comfortable in our TC Kids Ministry which is designed just for them! There, your child will engage in age-appropriate teaching, games, music and more. You can check your child in for a TC Kids Ministry classroom at the check-in table located in the Lobby. If needed, the Lobby becomes our Cry Room for parents with infants during service. If you have further questions, please stop by the TC Kids Ministry check-in table in the Lobby today.

Volume | If you find the music too loud, please visit the Welcome Table for ear plugs. Ear plugs are also available at the Worship Center doors.

Prayer Requests | Prayer requests can be submitted via https://thorncreek.church/prayer-request. The TC Prayer Team would love to pray for your requests during the week. There are also TC Prayer Team members available to pray with you after service at the front of the Worship Center.

Distractions | To allow you and those around you to be more fully engaged in today’s service, please refrain from leaving the Worship Center during service. Also, please turn off or mute all cell phones and other mobile devices. Please use the Lobby area for any necessary conversations.
If your faith was gone tomorrow and nothing changed in your life, your faith is not strong enough.
“Is your soul your greatest asset? If not, your priorities are off balance. Your bank account has an expiration date, but your soul is eternal.”
“To know God is more than having the facts about God. It is intimate knowledge of a deep personal relationship - like that of a husband and wife...To know Christ in this way is also to be known and loved by Christ in return in such a way that more than compensates for the loss of everything else.” - Dean Flemming
“For Paul, living meant Christ. Knowing Christ and becoming like Him was both his present passion and his supreme goal for the future.” - Dean Flemming
“You can’t move forward if you keep looking back.” - Anonymous
