Envisioning Transformation
Progress continues on implementing the Envisioning Transformation project
with much of the actual construction work well underway. The structural changes depicted in the renderings you’ve seen are nearly complete, although a lot of the finishing work remains to be done. While we don’t expect to complete the project until mid Summer, you will be able to see significant progress if you are able to attend the worship service on Sunday, May 31. In addition to the work underway inside the building, you’ll also see some improvements in the parking lots. Those working on the project, including the project implementation team, our contractor, and staff, have an excellent
working relationship and we look forward to a successful conclusion.

Media Team Volunteers Needed
Due to the generosity of a recent donor, our church will soon install new equipment to begin live streaming our services each Sunday. Live streaming will allow those viewing at home to participate fully on Sunday mornings. We need a few more media team volunteers to operate the new equipment associated with the live stream. If you consider yourself someone who is good with technology, please consider serving in this way. There will be a training session to make sure any who volunteer feel comfortable on the new equipment. For any questions, contact
james.kimmel@tabernacle.org

Tabernacle PPP Loan
Tabernacle Baptist Church applied for and received a PPP loan from the federal government as part of the COVID-19 paycheck protection program. These funds will help our church cover payroll expenses through this uncertain time, but we are praying that you continue to give so that we remain financially healthy. The entire balance of the loan is reflected in our financial plan numbers now, but those funds are earmarked exclusively for church payroll expenses.
