Property Work Day
Many Hands Make Light Work! We will have a Property Work Day on Saturday, May 18 at 8 AM. We have many projects that we need to accomplish on the outside of our church. We will be working in the pavilion area, the barn area, and cleaning up around the back road area. Work gloves, rakes, shovels, loppers (clippers), pruning shears, and blowers will be needed for these projects. Cold water will be provided for all that come throughout the work day, and at noon, we will have pizza, soft drinks, and dessert in the pavilion. This is a family event, so bring everyone and spend a day as we beautify our church grounds.

Hymn Sing & Ice Cream
Join us on Sunday, May 19, at 5 PM in the Chapel for an old-fashioned hymn sing. There will be no set program and anyone can call out their favorite hymn. The only rule is that it must be in the hymnal. It will be a great night as we raise our voices in worship while we sing the great hymns of our faith. After the singing, we will enjoy ice cream together in Fellowship Hall. Everyone is encouraged to bring their favorite homemade (or store-bought) ice cream flavor. The church will provide the paper goods, drinks, and toppings. Invite your family and friends to join us!

Worship Center Organ Fund
We are officially beginning to focus on our Worship Center organ fund. You may be aware that our analog instrument from the 1980s needs to be replaced with a digital instrument because we are continuing to see a decline in functionality, sound quality, and parts from that era of technology are no longer being made. Currently, $27,025 has been given to the fund. Our organ selection team, who has been working on this project for the past two years, has selected a builder for our next instrument with a ballpark cost of $280,000. You will be hearing more information about this in the future, but please consider making a gift so that our worship ministry can continue to lead with excellence for generations to come. Gifts in honor or memory of a loved one are encouraged. For any questions, please contact james.kimmel@tabernacle.org.
