Ticket reservation deadline Feb. 27 for Transport for Christ annual banquet
Transport for Christ (TFC) will host its annual banquet at 6 p.m., Friday, March 2, at Marbeck Center, Bluffton University. The meal is paid, but reservations are necessary by Feb. 27. Contact David Lugibihl, 419-230-3294 or Nancy Spallinger, 419-296-0360 to make reservations, or to make a donation.
"Come and learn how the TFC ministry changes lives and reaches out to the truck driving community. After a time of food and fellowship, attendees will get how to hear a TFC ministry update, testimonies from on-the-road truck drivers, and music by Tom Kennerk," said Lugibihl.
Tom Kennerk is a saxophone player with seven albums recorded. His playing ranges from a little bit Boots Randolph to Kenny G. He has also played with the Navy show band on tour. After a friend introduced him to gospel music, he's been hooked ever since.
"Drivers come to the chapel to fellowship, share requests, pray, read the scriptures, hear Christian music or attend services. Chaplains and truckers worship God in an atmosphere that promotes mutual encouragement and Godly inspiration. The Second Chance Chapel is open daily 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday Services are at 11 a.m. and 7 p.m.," said Lugibihl.
TFC is a world-wide ministry with the mission of leading truck drivers as well as the trucking community to Jesus Christ and helping them to grow in their faith. Volunteers from area churches serve as chaplains to visit, encourage, and lead services to truckers that visit the chapel.

Locally, the Second Chance Mobile Chapel resides on the grounds of Pilot Travel Center in Beaverdam, located at I-75 and 30N, Exit 135. The chapel was dedicated on Oct. 5, 2008.
