tbc Testimonies

Rev. Will Baker

 

As I sit here between a pair of 3 month old twins, Jack and Phoebe, I can think of only one word to describe the people of TBC, family. When I arrived in Richmond, not knowing anyone, the TBC family took me in as one of their own. As I went to work in other churches around the city, Tabernacle remained a place I knew I could come home to. Then on Thursdays Tabernacle became a home that threw open it’s doors in hospitality to those in need in the community, through the Food Pantry ministry and I got to be a small part of that. It always healed my heart.

The people of Tabernacle, there are to many of you to mention by name, showed me what it meant to be a church family. Thank You. I have carried your example with me to the Eastern Shore and the church family I serve now.

Rev. Will Baker

Will was ordained at Tabernacle on February 7, 2009 and currently serves as Pastor at Drummundtown Baptist Church, Parksley, VA

Tutors needed

Tutoring Assistance for our Children and Teenagers, Wednesdays from 5:00 – 5:45 p.m.

Kids have a lot of homework these days, that’s a fact.  What’s not so evident is that they often need help getting that homework done.  That’s where you come in!  This year we are offering a homework assistance time prior to the Wednesday night supper.  During this time, we hope to empower students to become confident and competent in their studies.  We also hope that this time will be a wonderful way to build strong, lasting relationships with our children and youth.  Having adults like you in their lives serving as mentors and guides promotes healthy development and encourages strong spiritual growth.  Please consider joining us during this time of discipleship and mentoring!

Contact  Julie@tbcrichmond.org for more information.  Please let us know your strong subjects so that we can place you with the right students!

Discard age inappropriate toys in play nook and clean others

The Children’s play-nook in the community room (basement) needs to be cleaned out periodically. The space is viewed by more members of our community than any other room in the church (e.g. voting poll station, food pantry ministry, Richmond Concert Band passes through on Tuesdays, etc.).  We need someone to organize the toys and vacuum the padded floor.
