New Life in the Hallway | Rev. Eric Lange | June 29, 2025
Isaiah 43:1-3 | Acts 16:6-10
What do you do when life takes a turn you didn’t choose—when the door you were hoping for doesn’t open, and you’re left waiting for what comes next? Guest preacher Rev. Eric Lange will share a message for those living in that uncertain middle space. When plans fall through and answers don’t come, it can feel like you’re stuck in the hallway. But what if that space isn’t just a pause... what if it’s where something new begins? Join Tab for worship as we explore how God meets us in the moments we can’t control—and how new life can take root even in the waiting.
To Strive Backwards | Dr. Bill Smutz | June 22, 2025
Exodus 24:15-18 & 32:1-6 | Luke 9:57-62
How often do you look back—on your family stories, your faith journey, the choices you’ve made? The past can be a powerful teacher. But it can also become a place we hide, a weight we carry, or a script we’re afraid to rewrite.
As Dr. Bill Smutz shares this final message as Interim Senior Pastor of Tab, we explore the difference between honoring where we’ve come from and being bound by it. We consider how the past continues to shape us—sometimes in life-giving ways, and sometimes in ways that hold us back from stepping into what’s next. God often calls us forward through the very things we’re tempted to cling to. It’s a call to reflect, release, and trust that the One who brought us this far is not finished with us yet.
In and Out and On Their Way | Rev. Dr. Bill Smutz | June 15, 2025
Psalm 27:1, 4-5 | Ruth 1:1-7
As we continue our journey through Dr. Smutz’ departing sermon series, Still To Do… Always To Do, we turn our attention to managing expectations—the honest, sometimes humbling work of preparing for what’s next. What happens when our hopes for new leadership—and for ourselves—meet the reality of being human?
We hope you will join us this Sunday as we reflect on what it means to move forward in faith, even when the path ahead isn’t perfect. Come be grounded, challenged, and encouraged as we grow together—imperfectly, but faithfully.
Comfortable in Our Own Skin | Rev. Dr. Bill Smutz | June 8, 2025
Psalm 40:1-8 | Luke 4:1-11
In a world—and a Church—constantly shifting, it’s tempting to chase someone else’s version of success. But what if God is calling us to something different? Something deeper?
Join us this Sunday for Pentecost as we reflect on what it means to be fully, faithfully ourselves—just as God made us. Come be inspired by scripture and song, and hear a word of hope and challenge for the Church today.
Don't forget to wear red (or any flame-inspired color) as we celebrate the joyful arrival of the Holy Spirit and the birth of the Church. Let’s fill the Sanctuary with bold color, open hearts, and renewed confidence in who we’re called to be.
Let’s stop comparing—and start becoming the best version of us.
Getting Ready for Company | Rev. Dr. Bill Smutz | June 1, 2025
Isaiah 40:3-5 | Matthew 3:1-6
As we continue this season of transition, we begin a new sermon series, Still To Do... Always To Do—a time to reflect on what remains important for us as a church and as individuals. What does faithful preparation look like—not just to appear ready, but to be ready for what (and who) comes next? Join us as we begin exploring the meaningful work of becoming the community God is calling us to be.
