Thank You TBC | Miriam Kennedy

Dear Tabernacle,

I hold a million thank yous in my heart. You have my gratitude for letting me learn how to do ministry alongside of you all for the second summer in a row. This summer you all taught me that ministry lies in the bottom of coffee cups and shared meals, in working and worshiping together. While holding me in your care, you let me explore call and faith, and what it means to be a follower of Christ. Thank you for making me laugh and letting me make mistakes and learn to love so fully. From Community Ministry to Community Room Sunday School to helping out with youth events, you all have shaped my being.

One of the first Sundays I was at TBC in 2018, there was a Bread for the Journey. I was so intrigued and in awe of the meaning of this practice of equipping and sending. I am grateful for God’s handiwork in leading me to you. Church, you have equipped me well, of that I am certain. As you send me, I am comforted and overjoyed that you will always be a part of my story, and I will have a place in yours. Thank you for giving me bread for this journey of life and calling.

Grace and Peace,

Miriam Kennedy

Call Stories: Kate & Miriam, Part 1

For the next few weeks on Thursdays, we will be sharing a series of podcasts about the call stories of our pastoral staff.

We’re starting with Miriam Kennedy and Kate Clatterbuck, our pastoral interns from this summer! We are so glad that they were here with us for the last few months, and grateful for all of their contributions to the life of Tabernacle. Listen as they discuss their experiences in the Church, growing up with mothers working as ministers, and what ministry means to them.

Summer Stories: Hungary Mission Trip 2019, Part 1

This is the first in a series of podcasts with stories from summer trips and camps! We are grateful for all who contributed to help organize, fund, and pray for all of the groups who participated this summer, and we hope you enjoy hearing some updates. This series will be released on Tuesdays for the next few weeks.

This summer, we sent a group to Hungary to work with Lea and Doug Coppage to help lead a baseball camp. In this podcast, listen to Cole Severns chat about an average day on their trip, experiencing a new culture, and communicating across a language barrier.

Worship: APEST – Prophecy

This podcast centers on the second of the 5 quotients, Prophecy. What does it mean to be a prophet? Where are the blindspots for a church that over-emphasizes it? What do we gain by listening to the prophet’s voice? Who among us is called to be a prophet? 

Interested in going deeper? An online tool, and multiple books are available at this website.

Mission: Coppage Q&A – Summer 2019

We were so glad to welcome Doug and Lea Coppage back home on Sunday! Doug and Lea have been living and working in Hungary for over a decade, sharing and showing the love of Christ in many different ways. This summer, Tabernacle sent a small group of folks to visit and work with Doug and Lea in Va?. On Sunday, we chatted with Doug and Lea, and with the team who visited them in June. Thanks to Terry Witt for moderating!
