May
Ladies
Day, Saturday before Mother's
Day
A delightful day for the ladies
on May 8! Pastor Jerry did
fried chicken and his famous
cole slaw and assisted Sister
Lorinda and Youth Leader, Karen
Jacobs, in putting the rest of a
delicious meal together.
Karen very efficiently emceed
the event including an
inspirational talk using our
purses as an object lesson.
The theme for the day was
"Purses." Our purses were
weighed and prizes given for the
heaviest one and the lightest
one. Also a prize was
given for the most unusual purse
(see picture below in collage).
After the meal, Karen produced
materials for a paper purse
craft project. The
desserts included cakes baked by
Karen on the purse theme.
(see pictures below in the
collage).
There was also a silent auction
of items the ladies brought.
The ladies would like to express
their appreciation to Pastor
Jerry, Sister Lorinda, Sister
Karen and others who helped with
the planning and execution of an
enjoyable day at Faith
Tabernacle for the ladies!
Special thanks to the ladies who
helped with the cleanup
afterward.

September
Pastor Appreciation Day
(Click on pictures to enlarge)
Sunday, September 18, was set
aside by the church to honor our
pastor and his wife for their
faithful leadership of Faith
Tabernacle. Special guests
were Rev. Jay Walden, his wife,
Tammy and their children, J. J.,
Bethany and baby Charity.
Brother Jay is an anointed
preacher and singer as well as a
gifted musician and was
accompanied by his son J.J. and
his wife, Sister Tammy.
Both J. J. and his sister,
Bethany, sang songs as the
family musicians played for
them. Baby Charity
contentedly lay in her portable
bed as the family treated us
with their musical talents.
After singing, Bethany ran the
video recorder and helped attend
to the new baby while the family
was ministering on stage. The
Waldens are special friends of
Faith Tabernacle and the
congregation is always blessed
by their visits.
Brother Myerl Baker, Sunday
School Superintendent, helped
with planning the days's
activities and was emcee for the
occasion. Brother Baker
wears many hats at church and is
a great help wherever he is
needed.
After morning worship service,
the congregation assembled in
the fellowship hall where mounds
of delicious food awaited to
complete the celebration.
A special thanks to Karen
(Grubbs) Jacobs for her expert
planning and implementing all
the arrangements. The
church appreciates her tireless
efforts to make the day
enjoyable for Pastor Jerry,
Sister Lorinda, the congregation
and our guests.
The food was plentiful and
delicious, and the fellowship
wonderful.
After congregational song and
prayer, David Grubbs opened the
service with a song accompanied
by church musicians: Sister
Lorinda, Karen Jacobs, Gloria
Wright, Dana Skeens, D. J.
Grubbs. Rev. Jay Walden
and family continued with songs
accompanied by their own music
assisted by David and D. J.
Grubbs. Afterwards, Bro.
Jay preached an anointed and
very appropriate sermon.
After a sermon on "Shepherds"
and reminding the church that
Pastor Jerry had been a faithful
shepherd with Sister Lorinda's
supporting role, Bro. Jay
invited the congregation to come
up and give them a handshake and
hug of appreciation.

December
Christmas Party at Big Bear
Lodge
Our church family met at Big
Bear Lodge December 13 for our
annual Christmas Party.
Our thanks to Karen for all the
hard work she did planning the
event and making it an enjoyable
evening. We brought
wrapped gift and played
"Round-Robin" or
"Merry-G0-Round" gift exchange
(not sure it's called). We
could claim each other's gift or
open a new one when our number
was called. One of the
most popular gifts was the nut
cracker which got passed around
until frozen with its current
owner. Lots of fun!
