Family News through October 4, 2009
Now you are no longer strangers to God and foreigners to heaven, but you are members of God's very own family, . . . and you belong in God's household with every other Christian. Ephesians 2:19
The Tabernacle is a 'family of families' united through our relationship to Jesus through new birth. We desire always to maintain the wonder of our family relationships. Through this 'Tabernacle Family News' we will attempt to keep you connected to what is happening with the members of your family.
You can help us by passing on any family news to Pastor Jo Ann or Cindy in our Pastoral Care Department. Cindy at 712-1713 or Pastor JoAnn at 712-1707.
