Tabernacle Baptist Church e-Tidings

Week of October 19 - 25, 2020

Our Vision is to be Transformed by Christ and to see Transformation for Christ.

SUNDAY SCHOOL HAS RESUMED!

Sunday School is Back!

We are so excited that some of our Sunday school classes have resumed! There are two links below that contain more information on the classes available. The first link has a list of the classes returning and where they will be meeting, as most classes will not be in their previous locations. The second link will be the guidelines for returning to in-person Sunday School.

UPCOMING DATES

Autumn Fest This Sunday!

We are celebrating the autumn season with our children! Join us on campus for an afternoon of festival fun on Sunday, October 25 from 5:00-6:30 PM. This event is only for Tabernacle families and Tabernacle Preschool families. Additionally, we need cars for the trunk-or-treat and people to help with s'mores, hot dogs, and other service opportunities. Contact Dana Harman for more information about getting involved.

Minister to Students Search

Our Minister to Students search committee has been meeting, developing a candidate profile, and is now ready to receive resumes. If you know of someone who may be interested in the position, please submit a recommendation or resume to employment@tabernacle.org. More details can be found at tabernacle.org/employment.

Operation Christmas Child

Once again Tabernacle will be participating in Operation Christmas Child! Shoe boxes are available for pick up at the table outside the Worship Center, along with information sheets about what should or shouldn't be included in the boxes. Filled boxes are due back to Tabernacle by Sunday, November 15. We hope to continue the tradition of providing 200 filled boxes to children all over the world. We ask that each filled box should be accompanied with a $9 donation per box to help offset the cost of shipping the box.

Men's Work Day

We will be having a work day to help with various indoor and outdoor projects around the church. Anyone of any age is welcome to come help, and no experience is needed in order to help. We will meet at 8 AM on Saturday, October 24 in the Welcome Center.

Cancer Support Group

Our Cancer Support Ministry is resuming meeting in person with physical distancing

procedures! The next meeting is Wednesday, October 21 at 6 PM.

Contact rob.sauls@tabernacle.org for event meeting room details.

ETC Volunteers Needed

Our children need volunteers for Extended Teaching Care (ETC) on Sunday mornings during the worship service. We need help with children birth to 3 years and are looking for people to rock them to sleep, play with them, and take them to the indoor playground. If you would like to serve our children and families in this way, please contact Dana Harman to volunteer.

MISSIONS MINISTRY

Giving During COVID-19

The ministry of Tabernacle Baptist Church continues during this difficult season for our world. Even with an altered meeting schedule, we would like to encourage you to give normal tithes and offerings as God leads. Our office is now open to the public. You may drop off gifts at the church office during regular office hours, Monday-Thursday, 8:30 am – 5:30 pm (please note that we have discontinued using the locked drop box now that the offices have reopened). You may also give in person during the Family Worship Services, mail in your gift, give online by clicking the button below, or text "tabernacle150" to 73256.
