Greeting visitors may seem like a small thing, but it makes a huge difference in the first impression we leave on our guests. Greeting at Tabernacle is incredibly easy; you just come to your designated location (inside the Sanctuary or outside on the sidewalk) about 15 minutes before worship and then act like your normal sunny selves!

Ideally, we’d like to have about 20 greeters (or couples who greeted together) in 2012.

 

Everyone would be on the list about five times during the year. Families, including children, are invited and encouraged to participate! All you need to do in order to participate is sign up (click here for link)  (You can, of course, trade if you have a conflict).

Thank you for your support of Tabernacle Baptist Church

The nominating committee is requesting your help!  We are looking for your recommendations of those who should be asked to serve as Tabernacle Baptist Church deacons for a 3-year term, beginning January, 2013.  Please share with the committee those persons you recommend that are already ordained, but not currently serving, and those you wish to recommend as a good person to be considered for ordination as a new deacon.

You might use the profile below as a guide to identify those members of our church who you feel should be nominated.   You do not need to ask the members you would like to nominate about their availability to serve.  The committee will use the information for each nominee you provide and be guided by the working of the Holy Spirit in following up with nominees and in making a final recommendation to the church.

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!
