Chad Sipes Tenders Resignation
Dear Tabernacle Baptist Church,
I am tendering my resignation
effective February 28, 2015. Kim and I
sense the Spirit moving us from
Tabernacle at this time. Please pray for us
as we pursue God’s will for our family in
the future. We will be praying for you, as
well.
When we arrived at Tabernacle eight years ago, we
promised the church we would love the students at this church.
We have done our best to fulfill that promise by the grace of
God, and have found in return a thousand fold blessing of
families who have loved us in return. We will miss you. We
love you.
In Christ,
Chad Sipes
A Message From Our Pastor For The Interim
Journey in Faith is the church’s effort to express gratitude for what God does for us, what He can do through us and to return to
God gifts from our hearts. Ephesians 5:27-21 says, “I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power together
with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses
knowledge – that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than
all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us.”
Through God’s blessings on Tabernacle, Journey in Faith finances the ongoing ministry of the Tabernacle Life Center. Think of
all the wonderful events that happen on a weekly basis in the TLC. All of them are made possible by continual, sacrificial giving by
faithful believers. Since Tabernacle does not include the mortgage payment in its annual budget, all Journey in Faith gifts are
designated for the purpose of paying off the loan, currently in its fourth year. The monthly loan payment is $11,572.82, meaning the
current funds we have on hand will cover payments through July, 2015. As we continue to step deeper in faith, drawing closer as
family, and reaching further in our community and beyond, prayerfully consider your gift to Journey in Faith.
As we get ready to wrap up the sermon series on “God’s Church”, I want us to take another look at the formula: SP + TP + SM
= PR. Last Sunday, we discussed how people cannot get to Heaven without God’s divine help through Jesus Christ. Jesus paid our
sin debt by shedding His precious blood on the cross as our substitute. Jesus is the bridge between God and man. He is our only
Hope. He offers eternal life, but we have to accept His free gift of salvation in order for this Gift to be our “personal gift”.
The Simple Message in the above formula is that “Jesus loves us and wants a personal relationship with us”. If you have not
accepted His love and forgiveness, you can do it now: Repent, Believe, Confess, and Call on Him.
After receiving that Hope, begin to live for God. Get to know Him better and share this simple message with others. When
transformed people being led by the Supernatural Spirit share that simple message, there are Phenomenal Results.
As we, the people of Tabernacle, allow God to fill us with His supernatural power, we are transformed people who go out to
share the simple, but profound message that Jesus Loves Us and wants us to live for him here and with him throughout eternity
when we die.
This Sunday, we will complete our study on the church formula. Let’s anticipate and expect Phenomenal Results when we are
“Jesus” in our communities.
I look forward to hearing from you about the miracles and Phenomenal Results God is doing in your personal lives and thus in
Tabernacle as well.
Your Pastor for the Interim,
Glenn Dyer

A NOTE FROM THE
CAROLE BURSON
CRISIS CARE MINISTRY TEAM
This ministry team is a vital one that cares for
bereaved families in our church. Currently we have
sixteen members serving on our team, rotating hosting
and serving when called upon. Additional members
assist in preparing for the meal and hosting when the
meal is served. Meals may be served in the Fellowship
Hall, at a designated location, or at a family member’s
home. Last year we served twenty two families,
providing a meal for over five hundred people.
Tabernacle provides meat, and members of Sunday
School Classes prepare assigned side dishes and bring
them to the church.
Family members can relax and visit for a few minutes
before or after the funeral, according to their wishes.
Family members are always appreciative of this outreach
of caring and love at this very difficult time.
We would like to thank our Sunday School classes
who prepare food, those who help host meals and those
who participate in other ways. If you would like to be
trained to serve in this vital ministry, you may
contact Jane Collins at 770-834-7555 or Janis Lee at
770-830-1947.
