ON TAPMaking it a Habitat
TAPC embarks with other local churches on construction of a home through Habitat for Humanity
It’s time to pick up your hammers, saws, paint brushes and good will to pitch in and build another Habitat for Humanity house. TAPC and other Durham Presbyterian churches are building a house at #3 Founders Circle in the Hope Crossing neighborhood. This is the same neighborhood where TAPC and other area churches built a home in 2007. This house will be the final house in Hope Crossing. TAPC will have primary responsibility for staffing the volunteer team on September 19, and October 24 and will share responsibility for staffing the volunteer team on October 17.
We will need 10 vo lun t ee r s t o work during the mornings on those Saturdays, and 10 other volunteers to work during the afternoon sessions. There will be opportunities to paint, to drive nails, to measure and cut wood, etc. No experience is necessary and all tools will be provided. If the construction schedule holds, we hope to be doing the landscaping on October 24. For those of you who like to play in the dirt, here’s your chance to have some fun and do something kind for someone else at the same time.
In addition to construction volunteers, we will need volunteers to prepare and deliver lunch to our workers at noon on TAPC workdays.

Youth NewsThis summer, 25 youth and 6 adults from TAPC spent well over 700 hours building porches and wheel chair ramps, cleaning and painting homes, preparing and serving food, sorting clothing and tools, visiting and praying with strangers, and sharing God’s love with children. For the third consecutive summer, TAPC’s commitment to youth ministry enabled the church to pay 50) of each youth’s registration fee. We rented three vans and worked with over 75 borrowed tools. The mission trip participants practiced putting on Christ every day because of the generosity of TAPC! Thank you!!
If you feel called to work with youth in any capacity, contact Nathan Peifer at the church or via e"mail %[email protected]&
Treasure HuntJesus often equated the kingdom to a treasure, but in
recent months, I’ve seen a number of different articles filled with statistics that seem to proclaim that the church has lost its reason for being. Is that true or do we have a compelling treasure to share with the world?
Beginning August 30th (Open House), TAPC will be seeking and finding some of the treasures. You’ll soon be hearing and reading about the treasures that many of our members have found in their lives.
Until then be thinking about the treasure of the Church. Think about what you treasure in your own life and what you do with that treasure. Do you share it? Invest it? Hide it?
Peace, Donovan
