Tabernacle Stories: Rev. Kristen Koger (03/22/17)

“We need to tell stories as a testimony to what God has done and is doing. If we do not share the stories, their power and truth are diluted, and their impact forgotten” (Wright/Davis).

This six-week series centers on the theme of “testimony.” Each week, we will invite one or two people from our congregation to share stories about their spiritual journeys and where they have seen God at work in their lives. We will have time to ask questions and explore together how God is moving among us at Tabernacle and in the world. This series will meet in the fellowship hall from 6:00pm to 7:00pm on Wednesday evenings. Tabernacle Stories begins on March 22nd and will continue until May 17th.

This week we welcome Rev. Kristen Koger, our Pastoral Resident. We are grateful for her willingness to be vulnerable, to share her story, and to give testimony to God’s presence in her life and among us at Tabernacle.
