Tabernacle has restyled its website to place more emphasis on the presentation of the Gospel.
All sermons, recorded morning devotions, Bible studies and other special events are now easily accessible from the desktop page. Another new development is the introduction, with pictures, of Tabernacle’s hard-working leadership team (the diaconate).
Other pages highlighting the latest news and the church’s history have been retained but they will be further developed.
Tabernacle is indebted to our friend and brother in Christ, Paul Lee of Korean Central Presbyterian Church, Washington DC, United States, who has generously sponsored the improvements to the website and grateful for the ongoing support of Philip Yun and his colleagues at InteliSystems who have undertaken the work. They will also be upgrading the Newbridge Vision Centre website.
Both websites will add to Tabernacle’s growing ‘online’ presence because it already runs a popular Facebook page.
Tabernacle minister, the Revd. Peter Cho, said: “Our church has risen to the challenge of the Coronavirus pandemic by introducing ‘live’ and recorded online services and devotions. We have been encouraged by the positive responses we have received from the locality and even as far away as Australia. Consequently, we will continue to provide these opportunities for people to hear the Gospel as part of our developing extended ministry programme.
“It is vital that we make maximum use of the new technology now available to tell a needy world about Jesus and his saving power.”
Tabernacle is also grateful to the Welsh Government’s Covid-19 Resilience Fund – administered by the Gwent Association of Voluntary Organisations – for a grant of £2,500. It is also indebted to the brothers and sisters at Phila Antioch Church, Philadelphia, USA who have agreed to provide generous financial support over the next five years towards the £24,000 total cost of improving the BT Net service connectivity at the church which allows a much more stable and smoother transmission of “live” services via social media.
