Dear Church Family: We’re rounding the corner and preparing to shift into a new season together. Looking back, it has been quite a year. Our congregation tends to defy “church growth” logic and actually gains momentum in the winter season. The momentum that is built will often peak in late spring and then we finally get back into a similar rhythm with sister congregations. We, like so many others, can expect our attendance numbers to diminish a bit on Sunday mornings and that will remain the case over the course of the summer season.  The month of September always feels like a reunion to me as the family comes back together to share the stories of our many adventures.

I would like to thank the members of TBC for making this year one of the best and most formative of my life. When I first came to Richmond, and I started attending Tabernacle, I was quickly impressed by the diversity and love found in the congregation. I knew immediately that I wanted to be a part of this community. When the time came to choose a location for my internship, there was no doubt that Tabernacle was the place I needed to be.
