Tab Trunk or Fest 2023
Thank you to all who participated from decorating cars, helping with set up and clean up, helping with lunch, and helping with the planning and prep! Luckily, Olaf made an appearance to help us feel a little cooler on what was a very warm day! Fun was had by all and we even had four new families and some visitors join us!

We were able to sneak these amazing kids out of camp for a few minutes for a sweet treat! We are so proud of the work they are doing at camp this summer! They love Jesus and you can tell in everything they do! ❤️ (Missing Hermyone who had to be in the kitchen)

So incredibly proud of each of these kids! They are doing so well at camp and shining their lights bright for Jesus! Tomorrow is the end of week 2 and then they head up to Pine Summit in Big Bear! Keep them in prayer for safe travels and that they get some rest before week 3 starts. (Don’t mind the Starbucks and chicken nuggets…just some much deserved treats 😊)

Most of you will remember Reed from DYR this year!
Posted • .magazine MEET REED 👋 She grew up in a multi-generational household with her mom, sister, grandparents and great-grandmother, plus a couple of family pets. Reed was happy in this home, with a lot of friends in her neighborhood.
That all changed in middle school, when she, her mom and her sister moved out. Fortunately, they stayed in the same school zone, but it meant leaving her friends and grandparents behind. Because of the distance from the school, she now had to ride the bus. Reed recalls that first day, climbing the steps of the bus and gazing at the rows of seats, trying to find a seat. A girl invited her to sit with her and Reed did, but there were no other words exchanged after that. That is, until two weeks later when Reed, an avid reader, brought a new book to read on the ride to school. That book generated conversation and from that moment on, the two girls were good friends.
As their grew, this bus mate invited Reed to a sleepover, where she told Reed that she would be attending church with the family the next day. Reed was confused but willing to attend.
It turns out that the was and Reed was instantly drawn in. It felt like home. After the morning service, Reed was handed a timbrel and told to stay for timbrel practice. Following that, they had a corps lunch, then band rehearsal where, once again, Reed was handed an instrument, a cornet this time, and pointed to a seat and invited to join the band. At this point, she figured she’d been given two new gifts, so she had to keep coming.
The rest is history. Reed became involved in all aspects of programming, including camp, where she felt the love of God for the first time in her life. Reed became a soldier, participated in where her faith deepened, and she developed lasting friendships.
Today, Reed remains active in Army . Her goal is to work for The Salvation Army as a case manager or coordinator. She loves the Army’s mission and hopes to extend a hand of welcome, just as was extended to her on that school bus so many years ago. 🧡

Go, go, go Joseph! The Tab Youth are out at the theater to see Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat!

Last Youth Group of the season and we had some glow-in-the-dark fun in the gym!

Fun day at Knott’s!

Captain Ching was born in in 1884 to Chinese parents. By the time that this photo was taken in 1916 the 32-year-old officer had already accomplished quite a lot.
