The Fun! group is sponsoring a contest:

Do you really want to continue to look at the plain white walls in the two Tab Restrooms? They're so basic and plain and we're really a very colorful congregation. Don't you have some good ideas but no more wall space in your own abode? Or wouldn't you like to conceive of an original color/design scheme and try it out on some of your good buddies?

The deadline for submissions of ideas is Sunday April 6th at 1pm. So get your ideas on paper or whatever media best expresses your thoughts and place it in the Fun! Group mailbox, (to the left of the personal mailboxes ) in the Community Room. Soon after that date, the Tab Fun and Aesthetic Judges will meet to determine the one or two winners.

Pentacost, Sunday, May 11, 2008: Dedication of new Bibles

Most of us are at Tab because someone in our past played a significant role in teaching us about God and Christ and about the blessings of being part of a spiritual community. Maybe it was a Sunday School teacher, a pastor, a neighbor, a co-worker, a grandparent or parent. Who are those people in your life?

This spring we have an opportunity to honor those people in a tangible way. In a few weeks we will be replacing the aging, somewhat tattered Bibles in our pew racks with New Revised Standard Bibles (the version we use as the pulpit Bible), as well as two Spanish-language Bibles and two each in Chinese (traditional script) and Korean. The Bibles will be dedicated on Pentecost Sunday, May 11. We are all invited to consider who those significant people have been in our faith formation and to honor them by purchasing a pew Bible in their names for $12. Dedication plates will be placed on the inside cover with the name of the person being honored.

Dedication forms and additional information is available in the April Tab newsletter.

The Lectionary Affinity Group gathers weekly to read, study, and talk about the lectionary texts for the up-coming Sunday. Each session will be on Wednesday nights from 5:30-6:30 pm at International House, 3701 Chestnut St. (across Chestnut Street from Tab). The lectionary readings for each week are on the Vanderbilt’s lectionary website: http://www.divinity.library.vanderbilt.edu/lectionary/ALent/index.htm.
