In the Word on Wednesday Night

Are you interested in knowing more about the Bible?  Are you hungry for a deeper knowledge of God’s Word?  Would you like more information on historical, archeological and literary aspects of your reading?  Men’s and Women’s Ministries of Christ Tabernacle have begun an inductive study of the Bible through the Gospel of John and Paul’s letter to the Ephesians.  You are invited to join a friendly, fun, and dynamic group of me and women who love God, His Word, and each other.  We meet each Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. at Christ Tabernacle.  For more information, please feel free to eMail Pastor Sam Celovsky (Men) or Debra Celovsky (Ladies). Babysitting and refreshments are provided.

Happy New Year! As we enter into 2009, we remember that, no matter what the state of the world, the economy, or our personal lives, God is able to make sudden, dramatic and lasting changes in our lives. As you make your way through this year, remember to place your hope and your trust in God. He’ll accomplish more than you ever thought possible!

It’s time again for the MOST FUN WE HAVE ALL YEAR!! You have three Weeks to get your “Acts Together”. . . and present it to the church, family, and friends. Last year’s performances included musical numbers, skits, martial arts demonstrations, a how-to on entertaining your kids in the car, poetry readings, a huge dance-off finale that included a GIANT Afro and much, much more. Help us top last year by performing an act or demonstration by yourself, or with your family and friends. No talent is too small or too off the wall.

The Talent Show is Sunday night, October 19th at 6pm. Willow Sanders is once again organizing the Show, so let her know if you’re even THINKING about an act! Willow will be talking this up for the next few weeks, and she won’t let even ONE act slip by! Willow Sanders can be contacted at willow@ChristTabernacleSR.org or just see her at church! Bring your friends, family and coworkers and let’s make this year a Talent Show to remember!

2008 CityKids in Santa Rosa was a huge success. Christ Tabernacle would like to thank everyone who donated their time, money and resources to this great event. We sang songs, passed out bags of goodies, even made snow-cones for the kids! What a privilege it is to share the love of Jesus with our City as we minister to their needs.

Has your mind been running around a tired, worn out track? Is your heart bruised and hurting? Is your spirit in need of refreshing? If so, then you need a weekend at the HeartSpa. Come and be reminded how much your Savior loves you and desires to refresh, renew and revive each of His daughters.

Our speaker for HeartSpa 2008 is Vicki Smith, who pastors with her husband Craig in Sacramento. You may remember Vicki from our Women’s Retreat in 2006, where she shared her personal story of struggle and triumph over abuse. The retreat resulted in significant victories in the healing that took place in the hearts of a  number of women who attended; women who had long struggled with their own difficult histories. We anticipate another Spirit-filled weekend under her ministry.

HeartSpa 2008

We were saddened to learn that David Wheeler, father of Debra Celovsky and former Pastor of Christ Tabernacle church, died on Wednesday, June 25th in Redding, CA.

David Wheeler designed and built our lovely facility, then called New Life Tabernacle, in 1980, and was the first pastor of the church facility on Fulton Road. After pastoring New Life Tabernacle for 10 years, he and his wife, Estene, moved to Redding, passing the leadership of the church to his son-in-law and daughter, Pastor Samuel & Debra Celovsky.

We’re pleased to have Pastor Livingstone Zitha ministering at Christ Tabernacle on Sunday, June 1st.

As the Pastor and Spiritual Leader of Bible Fellowship Church since it was organized in 2001 with an initial membership of 150, the community has witnessed the monumental growth of one of the fastest growing churches in Kwa-Thema, Gauteng, South Africa under Pastor Zitha’s leadership.

As an International Preacher, Teacher, and Speaker providing dynamic, energetic and anointed messages throughout North America, Europe and South Africa, (including invitation by Dr. Billy Graham to attend the Amsterdam 2000 Conference in the Netherlands), Pastor Zitha’s messages have resulted in God’s manifested presence, leading to transformed lives, physical and spiritual healing, and the salvation of lost souls.

For more information on Pastor Zitha and his ministry, visit his website at ZithaMinistries.org.

Join us in welcoming Pastor Livingstone Zitha and bring a friend to Christ Tabernacle!

On May 26th, Christ Tabernacle celebrated Memorial Day at our Annual Memorial Day Picnic at Youth Community Park. The weather was great for BBQ, ribs, wings and barbecued fresh oysters as well as football, volleyball and even a cake contest!

We went home tired, sunburned and happy. Thanks to all who helped make the picnic another great success! Here are some pictures of this fun day!
