4 Planning for this summer s VBS is underway! For the past several years, our church has generously given each child who attends VBS a free t-shirt. Local businesses sponsor our shirts by giving a donation towards the total cost and in return their logo is placed on the back of the t-shirt or advertisement. If you would like to help by making a donation as a sponsor including a logo advertisement we suggest $75 but welcome any amount you wish to contribute. If you would like a logo advertisement please let us know by June 1st and contact Kevin Cripps at crippskt@gmail.com or If you would like to personally donate to the cost of the shirts but don t have a business that requires advertising, feel free to place a check in the collection plate or give the donation to the church office directly marked "VBS fund". We have such a generous congregation! Thank you for all the support of our Children s Programs here at Tabernacle! VBS IS JUNE 25-29, AND REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!!! TELL YOUR FRIENDS! Register by June 1st for a FREE t-shirt! Forms are located in the Narthex, Commons and outside the Office, and will be available during Sunday School and Kingdom Kids, or you can register vbspro.events/p/events/tumcvbs2017. Help Provide Church World Service Refugee Welcome Kits! We are collecting Welcome Kits for our local Church World Service office which helps relocate refugees in Greensboro. We are asking TUMC Sunday School classes, and individuals alike, to consider sponsoring a kit, and donating the items listed in that kit; there are many kits to choose from and are listed on the insert in the bulletin. Place completed kits in either a kitchen or garbage bag and label it, and place them in the collection box in the Commons until June 11th. CWS also needs fully functional adult bicycles; (bikes needing minor repairs are accepted also). Call Lynn Hale at for pick up of donated bicycles or if you have any questions. Monetary gifts can be mailed directly to the address on the flier. And, thank you for loving your neighbor by following the teachings of our Lord Jesus!
