COVID-19 Scheduling Update
We are continuing to take direction from local leaders and are constantly monitoring the COVID-19 situation.  Due to recent developments, we will not meet on our campus this Sunday morning, March 22, but we will offer an online worship service and we will continue to evaluate Sunday morning gatherings on a one week basis. All other activities and events in our church building have been cancelled through March 31. However, the church office is open during normal business hours. This may change further, and we will communicate with you as more information is available. We invite you to pray with us during this time as we look forward to the day when all normal activities can resume.
HOLY WEEK AT TABERNACLE
Holy Week at Tabernacle
We will have three worship services to help mark Holy Week as a special season of celebration, and each is important as we observe the full story of Christ’s Passion. First, on Palm Sunday, April 5, we will celebrate Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem in our normal 11 AM worship service as our kids wave palm branches. On Maundy Thursday, April 9, at 6:30 PM, the Tabernacle Choir & Orchestra will lead in a service specifically focused on the cross and taking The Lord’s Supper in a special way. On Easter Sunday, April 12, we will celebrate the most exciting Sunday of the year in our normal 11 AM worship service, as we proclaim that Jesus is ALIVE! Invite someone to join us!
Easter Lily Sale
Help decorate our church on Easter Sunday by purchasing an Easter Lily in honor or memory of a loved one. Each plant is $15, and order forms may be found in the church office or at the Welcome Center. The deadline is Monday, April 6. Plants can be taken home after the worship service on Easter Sunday, April 12.
Annie Armstrong Offering
Our prayers and gifts to the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering provide support for thousands of missionaries. These men and women are planting new churches in unreached communities and meeting needs through compassion ministries. Everyday lives are being impacted and transformed. The needs are great, but the living hope of Christ is greater.The Missions Partnership Council has set a goal of $15,000 for the 2020 Annie Armstrong Easter offering. $7,500 will go for North American Mission Board and $7,500 will go toward purchasing a new van for our mission partners at Club 180 in Cumberland, Kentucky.

Who's Your One Prayer Wall
Over 300 names were submitted on Who's Your One Commitment Sunday. The names have been displayed on our wall outside the worship center. When we return to our normal schedule, our hope is that each time you pass by the wall, you will stop, take out a card and pray for someone's "one." Also, pray for the person who submitted the name. After you are finished, please return the card to the wall. If you would like to add a name, please feel free to do so. Even in this time of uncertainty, it is important to continue to lift up, pray for, and minister to our "ones."
Called Church Conference
There will be a church conference to vote on a recommendation from the Nominating Committee that Joe Murrah (chairperson), Kim Farmer, Andi Burson, Lauren Charles, Michael Cleek, Kenneth Cooke, and David Smith serve on a Student Pastor Search Committee.

ENVISIONING TRANSFORMATION
Envisioning Transformation Project Update
 Several things have occurred since our last update. We have received project approval from the state of Georgia Fire Marshal, obtained the building permit from the city of Carrollton, determined furniture needs, and approved the proofs of signage and displays. We’ve even begun ordering some of the longer lead time materials that will drive the timing of the construction schedule. The objective is that once we begin work it will continue as seamlessly as possible with completion being in approximately 14 weeks. With an anticipated start date soon after Easter, completion is expected to be mid to late July. There are some aspects of the initiative that we have removed, for the time being, due to funding limitations and unforeseen costs. We encourage you to continue to give to Envisioning Transformation above and beyond your normal tithes and offerings to the budget if the Lord leads you to do so. Thank you for your patience as the planning phase nears completion, and we eagerly look forward to actual construction. We greatly appreciate your support in praying for the execution of the project.
