TCC Missions Team Serves At Home So It Can Serve In Mexico
Team of 19 travels to Juarez during April school vacation.
How can a spaghetti dinner held at Tewksbury Congregational Church feed hundreds of families living in Juarez, Mexico? It’s easy when you start with top quality ingredients like the dynamic duo of Annette MacMullin and Mike Wildeman. They spend a full day in the church kitchen producing mass quantities of meatballs and the accompanying, mouth-watering tomato sauce. To that, add in several pounds of pasta cooked to perfection, a garden salad, bread with dipping oil and a variety of scrumptious desserts. Next, you’ll need a highly motivated mission team willing to serve with a smile and perhaps the most important ingredient of all ... a roomful of generous customers ready to enjoy a delicious meal. This is how it all begins every time one of…

Event at the Wynn Middle School sees more donors than previous two years.
The Tewksbury Congregational Church and the Tewksbury Recycling Committee teamed up for the third annual Zero Waste Day at the John Wynn Middle School. Residents were encouraged to donate or recycle items that would otherwise end up in a landfill.
