Donations can be made on, or before, September 18 th. Make your check or donation out to Tabernacle UMC and put Guatemala Stove-Water Project in the memo. The Challenge is on!! The Parables Class GET OFF YOUR DONKEY Jesus was once asked the question everyone wants answered: What must I do to inherit eternal life? His answer began a conversation that radically shifted faith from a noun to a verb. Today begins a sermon series we re (tongue-in-cheek) Co-leaders: Dan Cockman and Brad Ehrhardt calling: GET OFF YOUR DONKEY, where we ll look at what it means to be a neighbor and God s call to follow the Good Samaritan s example of compassion.
