Hello from Twice Blessed Free Store and Story Church!! We have so much to celebrate and much to be thankful for!
Thank you to Quinn Bennett and the RRUMC Children’s Ministry for providing ‘Cookies in a Jar’ to our shoppers here at TBFS! What a wonderful gift and what a fun project for all involved! Our shoppers LOVED them and were very grateful for the yummy cookie treat. Also, a HUGE heartfelt thank you to our dedicated Backyard Ministry and Armored Disciples MM members for coming out and painting the garage! What a difference a little coat of paint makes! It was a BIG job, but you made it look easy. Great job, gentlemen and thank you again for all your hard work.
Mark your calendars and get ready for an AMAZING transformation! Twice Blessed Free Store and Story Church will be CLOSED from June 24 - August 19 to undergo some much-needed updates. While we are closed for these eight weeks, we eagerly anticipate the installation of the first-floor bathroom, the carpeting of the mezzanine level on the third floor, and the flooring in the bistro area. Additionally, during this time, we will be obtaining estimates for two new murals that we intend to place within the church. We will be reorganizing and deep cleaning, restocking, and updating our computer system. And finally, our long awaited and much anticipated new sign will be placed out front letting our whole neighborhood know that we are STORY CHURCH!! So much is happening this month and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
