It is hard to imagine another year has gone by….certainly the cliché “where does the time go” rings true.
We have had an amazing year the past twelve months as the Tabor Family!The year ahead promises to be even better!Plans are well under way for Workcamp 2012 which will take place July 22 – 28. We are half way towards our goal of raising $19,000.00 to buy the needed supplies for the camp. We do need more people to be involved especially as the camp date approaches. The camp will be housed in the North Branford Intermediate School. We had an excellent meeting with the superintendent of North Branford schools, the facilities manager, and a representative from Group in Colorado.
Your church leaders are also busy compiling the information gathered from the Stewardship Focus groups held in November. We will be sharing those results with you in the months ahead as we make plans for our ministry together. December was a special month as we had our usual Advent programs. The “Seniors Serving Seniors Swedish Smorgasbord” was well attended with over 60 people. The food was great and the fellowship was even better. I kept hearing comments about “how much fun this is” and “where did you get this food?” My thanks to everyone who worked very hard to make the event a success. Caroling to our homebound members was also a great experience. Over 30 members traveled around on a beautiful Sunday afternoon bringing good cheer to our older members and also homemade cookies baked by the Junior Youth Group.
The coming months also promise fun times when we have the Fiesta Night, January 21, TaborFest, February 4, and the Swedish Meatball Diner the end of March. April will also be a busy time with First Communion celebration, Passion Sunday, Holy Week, and Easter worship services. The next Seniors Serving Seniors event will be a Maundy Thursday luncheon.
The Spirit is clearly alive at Tabor Church. Make plans to take part in all of these events, but, most importantly, plan to worship regularly on Sunday mornings when we offer our thanks and praise to God and are spiritually fed, refreshed, and renewed.
