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.

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, $26,700 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.

Flat Roof Repair
A portion of the church's flat roof will be replaced beginning this week. The majority of the affected area is above the Welcome Center and the hallway leading into the music suite. Sections of parking lot D will be closed off by traffic cones and heavy equipment while the work is being done. Please do not move the traffic cones in order to park any cars or to get through an area. At times, the main entrance from parking lot D will not be accessible, so please use other entrances to enter the church. Sunday mornings will be the only exception since work will not be happening at that time. The work should be completed no later than April 26, if the weather permits. Thank you for your patience during this time. Please contact ben.ervin@tabernacle.org with any questions or concerns.
