1 From the Pastor s Pen... To my New Tabernacle MB Church Family, I greet you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ. It is with thanks giving and praise that we offer unto the Lord the best praise that we have for bringing us through to another year. God has continued to favor us with His blessings as individuals, as well as a Church Family. I am sure that there have been some days where things seemed to be more than one could handle, but through it all, we have made it; and the thing about a Christians making it - it is done whether we wake up to a new day or if God calls us home, Paul says, absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. It is our expectation, with the help of the Lord, to make the year 2013 better for all of us, - better than in the year This can and will be accomplished by all of us being unified as one body of Christ, working out the ministry God has set for New Tabernacle MB Church as we Strive for Excellence in All That we Do As unto he Lord as He Orders Our steps, AND WE WON T TURN BACK. So with this in mind, let us put our hand to the 2013 plow and set our hearts on the work that is ahead. STRIVING FOR EXCELLENCE IN ALL THAT WE DO AS UNTO THE LORD AS HE ORDERS OUR STEPS God bless you all, and may His favor be forever yours. Pastor Chet J. Johnson Sr. Pastor Chet J. Johnson Sr. ~ Isaiah 50:4-7 / Luke 9:62
