Backpacks, Blessings & Blazing Heat 🎒🔥

Hey Tab Family!

What do students and sunscreen have in common? They both get tested in August. 😅

We’ll kick off this email with a little laughter, but we’re serious when we say: we deeply appreciate you. Every time you show up—early, smiling, and ready to serve—you make this place feel like home. Your impact goes far beyond the role you fill. Thank you.

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord.” — Colossians 3:23

Now, blink twice if July disappeared before you even noticed. 😳 And here we are, officially August! We’ve got lots coming up, so here’s your rundown:

🎒 This Sunday – We’re setting aside time to pray over all our students and school staff during service. Let’s rally behind them as they kick off another school year! Encourage those in your circle to be in the room.  There will also be a performance by our T-Kids who attended Vacation Bible School. You don't want to miss it.

🗓️ Upcoming Events at The Tab:

August 9th: Leadership Workshop If you’re a leader here, you’ve gotten a couple of nudges already 👀—make sure to register and don’t miss this!

💪 Serving Schedule – August Edition

The schedule is officially open and yes... I forgot to send this earlier (don’t judge me 😬). Between youth camp and VBS, things got wild! So there are lots of open serving slots for this Sunday.

To sign up: ➡️ Open The Tabernacle Church App ➡️ Tap MORE > SERVING > BROWSE OPEN POSITIONS ➡️ Choose a spot that works for you ➡️ Tap TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY – boom, you're in!

🚪 Now before you go... Remember our vision: "Church of His Presence. Church of His People."

That’s not just a tagline—it’s you. You live it out, week in and week out. You serve, you love, you show up. The presence of God is felt because His people (you!) continue to make space for others to encounter Him.

We appreciate you more than words can say.

P.S. If you're serving this Sunday, don’t forget: Rally starts at 9:15am. Let’s kick off strong and together. P.P.S. August didn’t come to play. 🥵 Temps are pushing triple digits—stay hydrated and try not to melt out there!
