CAMP-MEETING STYLE WORSHIP IN AUGUST Throughout the month of August, we will turn back the clock to enjoy an older style and order of worship. We’ll sing some of your favorite older gospel hymns (mostly from the old Cokesbury hymnal), maybe hear some testimonies, and have a more relaxed worship. Wear com-fortable clothes (dress down!...no suits & ties). Invite a friend or neighbor for this month-long celebration!
WELCOME SPECIAL MUSICAL GUESTS: We would like to welcome the Gate City String Quartet to Tabernacle this morning and look
forward to them leading us in worship today.
