Sunday’s worship service focuses on World Communion. We gather together each October to celebrate the unity we find with brothers and sisters throughout the world. It is an especially unique day for Tabernacle as it also marks the four year anniversary of the Karen people joining our fold (October 2007).  Worship leaders include the Children’s Choir, Bill Gradwell, Joseph Perdue, Khan Naw, and the church staff. The pastor’s sermon focuses on John 20:19-31, the power of vulnerability.

Sunday’s worship service centers on Matthew 21:23-32. Elisabeth Elliot has observed, “The problem with living sacrifices is that they keep crawling off the altar.” Committed veterans of the faith struggle, at times, with the following. We say yes but we struggle with following through. The parable Jesus offers in Matthew 21 speaks to the struggle and also his expectation that we will serve obediently. Worship leaders include Jack White, Weh Loh, Sah Hay Hoo, Jessica Corbitt, the Sanctuary Choir, Way Snah Htoo, Christen Schumacher and the church staff.

Sunday’s worship service centers on Matthew 20:1-16, Parable of the generous landowner. Worship leaders include Carol McMurray, Brenda Gradwell, Jerry Jones, Samantha Denton, Khan Naw, the Sanctuary Choir, and Church Staff. How do embrace the mercy of God when it is offered to others freely? We must choose to either hold onto our grudges/jealously OR live our lives full of gratitude.

Sunday’s worship service features promotion of our children, a special prayer offered on behalf of our educators, remembrance of 9/11, and special music by the Sanctuary Choir. The Pastor’s sermon focuses on the role of forgiveness in our lives (Romans 14:1-12 and Matthew 18:21-35). The light of Christ shines brightest when we love and offer consistent forgiveness to one another. Worship leaders include: Heather and Andy Rose, Tracy Hartman, Hlei Iang, Linda Southworth, Sanctuary Choir, and church staff.
