Property Work Day
On October 5, starting at 8 AM, we will need our church body to show out and show up for our next property work day. The properties committee has a list of projects that need to be taken care of and the more people we have, the easier it will be to get it all done. Lunch will be provided at noon, and cold water will be available during the workday. We will be working outside spreading pine straw and cleaning up areas that need work.

Operation Christmas Child Kick-off Meeting
Operation Christmas Child (OCC) Drop-off locations are the first of many steps in the journey of shoebox gifts as they travel around the world delivering joy, hope, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ to children in need. Drop-off locations are trained to effectively collect shoeboxes and convey the love of Christ in their local community. The primary function of an OCC Drop-off location is to collect, count, and transport shoebox gifts. Our Collection Network Goals: Ensure every donor has a transformational drop-off experience and every shoebox collected is accurately counted, cartoned, and moved efficiently. Any questions, please call Ben Ervin at
678-390-7021 or email at Ben.ervin@tabernacle.org.

Worship Center Organ Fund
We are focusing on our Worship Center organ fund. You may be aware that our analog instrument from the 1980s needs to be replaced with a digital instrument because we are continuing to see a decline in functionality, sound quality, and parts from that era of technology are no longer being made. Currently, $67,321 has been given to the fund. Our organ selection team, who has been working on this project for the past two years, has selected a builder for our next instrument with a ballpark cost of $280,000. Please consider making a gift so that our worship ministry can continue to lead with excellence for generations to come. Gifts in honor or memory of a loved one are encouraged. For any questions, please contact james.kimmel@tabernacle.org.
