Guest Speaker & Congregational Meeting
October 20th, 2024
We were blessed again this morning to have Brother Jordan Baker from the Fall River church of Christ, along with his wife and daughter, visiting with us. Jordan led our Bible class and then brought the lesson. You can find our lessons on our public Facebook page. Following Jordan's lesson, we had a congregational meeting to prioritize upcoming projects and to begin discussions for 2025, if the Lord wills and we live. Our goal as the Tower Hill church of Christ is to be a haven for sinners in southern Rhode Island, and to use all that we have been blessed with, individually and collectively, to spread the Gospel of Jesus to all that will listen. Please pray for us as well as all the congregations within the brotherhood as we move forward.

Ganderbrook Ladies Retreat
September 12th-14th 2024
Our Deanna was one of the group leaders at this year's Ganderbrook Ladies Retreat in Maine this year. Deanna is an encouragement and a blessing to our Tower Hill family and we are glad that others see her value as well. It was an encouraging weekend for those who attended. Being intentional about attending events within the brotherhood is a great way to grow in your faith. All of our paths are different and there is much we can learn from each other.

Making Progress
August 28th, 2024
It has been another encouraging week at Tower Hill! The Boone family reserved a private venue for a cookout and day of relaxing, which was needed and appreciated after the past few months of physical work a lot of our members have put in. Thank you Christina! Brother Jason brought us a beautiful lesson about the Holy Spirit on Sunday. We are so thankful for Brother Jay and his family! Tonight we planned to have a bonfire/cookout/devo. Unfortunately, it was muggy and buggy, so we postponed the fire and watched and discussed the season 1 finale of The Chosen! May we all be full of faith like the woman at the well! We had at least 37 present. God is good, all the time!

Foundation Service
August 11th, 2024
We had our Foundation Service today! It was a beautiful and blessed day! We had 45 in attendance and three states represented. We had guests from sister congregations as well as guests from the community. Matt Johnston brought a lesson laying the groundwork for the great things the Tower Hill church of Christ will accomplish for the Kingdom, if the Lord wills and we live! We had lunch delivered and had some long overdue fellowship time with friend both old and new. May God continue to bless our efforts to grow the Kingdom and spread the Gospel to a lost and dying world.
New Sign
August 10th, 2024
The new sign is in! It looks great from Route 1. According to RIGOV, Route 1 in South Kingstown gets an average of 35,000 to 40,000 vehicles a day! We are ready to go fishing for souls! There is still A LOT of work to be done around the grounds and in the building, but day by day progress is being made. Everyone is excited for our Foundation Service tomorrow! We are anticipating guests from across the state and possibly other states as well. Everything we accomplish is in the name of God, and we are only able to accomplish things by His will and blessings!
Work Day
August 5th, 2024
The work continues! Today we setup the projector and other A/V equipment to get ready for our first worship service this coming Sunday! Jacob Chavez finished mowing the lawn in front of the building, and we installed the new sign frame that Matt Chavez made. It's great to spend time together while working for the Kingdom! Jesus said, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Progress Update
July 29, 2024
We're looking forward to the new opportunities God has waiting for us on Tower Hill Rd.! It's exciting to have the opportunity to reach out to a new community. This week we'll start preparing the basement for renovations. This website was launched this week, as well as our public Facebook page. We also have a Great Giveaway coming up on August 17th 9:30am at the Kent County building, 42 Nooseneck Hill Rd. West Greenwich. We're clearing everything out and everything must go! Everything is free. Take what you can use. This will be our last event at Kent County.
TRCC

through
July 26, 2024
For the past month many of our members have been actively involved in Tidal River Christian Camp. This camp has been a haven for Christian youth in Southern New England for more than 50 years. We have youth who attend as campers and others who attend as counselors. Three of our members make up 25% of the TRCC Board of Directors. Some of our members even met their spouses of more than 20 years at TRCC. Needless to say, there are not a lot of places in the world for young people to have wholesome fun while growing closer to Jesus. Please continue to pray for this good work, that it may last until the Lord returns!
New Roof
June 28th, 2024
This property was overdue for some TLC. But the Lord will provide! We were blessed to be able to put a new roof on our meeting place today. The local construction team got the job done in less than a day! This was the first of three major repairs to the property. The other two bing the basement gutting and remodel due to extensive mold, and new siding. If the Lord wills and we live, we will see it done! These repairs are not cheap, but we're going to save a lot of souls under this roof! Every day we become more excited about starting this new work in the community! God is good, all the time!
First Work Day
June 1st, 2024
Today was our first work day. We had many people show up to lend a hand, which is always encouraging. Even some of our Wednesday night friends from other congregations showed up to help! This 1.7 acre property is going to take some adjusting to, but we have lots of willing people who love to serve! We got the lawn mowed, took down a rotten birch tree, cleared some brush, cleaned up the garden beds, dusted and vacuumed, and had fun doing it! Some of our teens even got to learn how to use a chainsaw for the first time. Keeping it rugged, New England!
Our First Visit
May 5th, 2024
We had our first group visit to the property on Tower Hill Rd. today. Some of our members were members at of the South County church of Christ more than 20 years ago. In a way it was like going home. It's beautiful to remember those days when there were so many strong and faithful Christians worshiping here. We aim to see those days restored and even greater goals achieved for the sake of the Kingdom! If the Lord blessed our work it will not fail. If we keep our hearts close to Him we will be blessed! May we give all glory to God in everything we do.
New Beginning
March 3, 2024
We are excited to announce a new church planting in Southern Rhode Island! Many of us have been a part of the Kent County church of Christ in West Greenwich, Rhode Island since its inception. We were extended an offer to utilize and revitalize the former South County church property on Tower Hill Rd. We have been working hard getting the property ready for months. The Lord has blessed us with the means and desire to become a new beacon of hope in southern Rhode Island, pointing the way to Jesus and helping everyone we can along the way. God is good, all the time!
