“GET OFF YOUR
DONKEY”
Jesus was once asked the question everyone wants answered:
“What must I do to inherit eternal life?” His answer began a
conversation that radically shifted faith from a noun to a verb.
Today begins a sermon series we’re (tongue-in-cheek)
calling:
GET OFF YOUR DONKEY, where we’ll look at what it means to be
a neighbor and God’s call to follow the Good Samaritan’s
example of compassion.
Guatemala Stove and Water Purifier
Challenge
Putting our Love and Compassion into action the
Parables Class has decided to adopt two families for $300
per family. This includes the stove, concrete pad,
whitewash on the walls around the cooking area, and a
water purifier. We are challenging all TUMC ministries
and groups to match or exceed our commitment.
Donations can be made on, or before, September 18th.
Make your check or donation out to Tabernacle UMC and
put Guatemala Stove-Water Project in the memo.
The Challenge is on!!
The Parables Class
Co-leaders: Dan Cockman and Brad Ehrhardt
VISITOR’S COFFEE & DESSERT WITH
OUR PASTORS
Monday, September 19th,
7:00 pm — 7:45 pm
If you are a guest or you’ve been visiting
Tabernacle for some time, we invite you to join us for a time of
fellowship and information with our pastors. This will be a time
to learn more about our church and answer questions you might
have about Tabernacle UMC and our ministries. If you are ready
to join our church family, we’ll also schedule a date for you to
become a member of Tabernacle.
September Adult Fellowship Trip!
The Adult Fellowship Group will be traveling to Burlington
to tour the Alamance County State Historic Site and the

are appreciated. From here, we'll head to Graham for some
"good ole fashioned" barbeque at Hursheys. Our departure
time is 9 a.m. at Tabernacle on Thursday, September 22nd.
If there are questions, contact Gaynell Faulk at
336-674-5028 or Patsy Phillps at
