Tabernacle Stories: Mary Jo Dailey (04/05/17)

“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).

On April 5, 2017, we invited Mary Jo Dailey to share her call story.  We are grateful for her bravery and vulnerability. Mary Jo’s testimony to God’s presence in her life is inspiring.

Tabernacle Stories: Rev. Meg Lacy (04/18/18)

“So many times . . . I was just so unsure of if God was even with us. Is God even here? . . . [But] I do think there is something about calling, and about trusting the people around you to see and to believe when you can’t see and believe. That’s sort of the story of the disciples, right? We have these Gospels, these accounts of what Jesus was up to and that we somehow, by faith, trust them, even when we can’t see. I think, sometimes, we have the gospel story of people around us, being able to see in our lives or in others what we can’t see at the time. A friend of mine likes to use the phrase: ‘They keep the light for us.’ They tend the light when we can’t” (Rev. Meg Lacy). 

Each spring, we invite members of our church to share stories of their journey of faith. We believe it’s important to share these stories to point to God’s presence in our lives, all along the way.

Tabernacle Stories: Kathryn Hall (03/29/17)

“I was the kid growing up who would always see the kid sitting alone in the corner and go sit with them . . . . We are made in the image of god. That’s all of us, that’s not just me. That’s the person who I don’t want to look at, or that’s the person that others don’t want to be around. Well, I should be around that person even more, because that is the image of God” (Kathryn Hall).
