Teach me your way, O LORD, and I will walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart that I may fear your name.  Psalm 86:11

Dear Sisters in Christ, 


Summer is coming to a close and soon it will be Fall and the holidays.


We are God’s adopted daughters, redeemed at by the precious blood of Christ, but we are also a family. 


We are called to be in an intimate relationship with our Father and each other. This takes time, effort, grace and guidance for His Word.


Please consider giving us your input as we plan for the next year. We would love to hear from you!  Use this link to the Women's Ministry Survey.


Ephesians 1:15 I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints, and His incomparably great power for us who believe.

  • Daza Craig

    Daza grew up in Houston Texas in a Christian home. She made a profession of faith at the age of eight and was baptized. She married her high school sweetheart, Jack, and he served in both the Coast Guard and the Navy for over 20 years. During that time, she and her family moved 13 times and had three children born in Japan, Colorado and Russia. Trained as a librarian, she worked almost 30 years in medical, engineering, school and public libraries.


    She has been a member of Tabernacle since 2011.


    She has a great desire for women to grow in their Christian walk and in relationship with one another in the Body of Christ. She has been blessed to be part of the Women’s Ministry Leadership Team, Women’s Support Team, and Tuesday morning Bible studies for the past several years.


    Her hobbies include reading, traveling, gardening and visiting their grandson in California. She just finished reading All My Knotted Up Life by Beth Moore and highly recommends it. She and her husband grow vegetables and grapes and enjoy birdwatching together.

  • Katie Dell

    Katie spent her childhood in a variety of places - Colorado, Maryland, Connecticut before her family settled in Charlotte, North Carolina for her teenage years. She attended the UNC-Chapel Hill for undergrad and afterwards moved to Charlottesville to complete her Master’s in Teaching at the UVa. 


    Since then, Katie has worked in Albemarle Public Schools as a bilingual immersion Spanish teacher. Katie met her husband Parker in 2018 and they married in 2020 - right in the middle of the pandemic! Katie and Parker have been members of Tabernacle PCA for 2 years.


    They live in Stuarts Draft with their 2 cats and flock of chickens. The Dells are delighting in their first child, a daughter, born in September 2023. Katie is thrilled to be starting this new chapter of life as a mother. 


    Her hobbies include: swing dancing, board games, reading, and occasionally sewing. She and Parker love to travel and explore new places.


    Katie is excited to begin serving in Women's Ministry and is hopeful that her organizational and leadership skills from the workplace will translate well into helpful contributions at Tab. As Assistant Director, Katie will be supporting Daza both practically and in prayer. She is also co-leading one of the summer women’s book studies and helping to plan the fall Women’s Conference. Katie is most passionate about looking for ways to include and serve women who feel on the fringes of the church community.


    If Katie had to pick a verse of particular meaning for her life, it is John 3:14-15. That’s not a typo. Ask why.

  • Ann Colman

    Picture and bio coming soon

  • Carol Pantuck

    Carol grew up in New Jersey as a beach lover but headed to the Midwest for college. Shortly after graduating from Wheaton College in Illinois, she moved to Philadelphia and met her husband Ron at Tenth Presbyterian Church where they shared a common love for the preaching of their favorite expositor, Dr. James Boice, whose teaching planted in her a love for Reformed Theology.


    She and Ron have been married for 47 years and raised their four children in the Boston suburbs. They currently have four grandchildren but are hoping for a few more!


    With a love of homemaking and hospitality, Carol has primarily been at home with her children, but has enjoyed a variety of interests outside the home including volunteering in the church and community. A great joy has been hosting missionaries who have become dear friends. She also loves reading all kinds of books, music, gardening, sewing, hiking, swimming and studying the Word.


    In their retirement years, Ron and Carol have been privileged to travel and enjoy making plans to visit new places. Highlights of each summer include family reunions at Capon Springs WV and “Grandparents Camp” when she relishes free rein with her favorite kids and together they enjoy fun outings, science experiments, cooking and digging into God’s Word.


    A verse that has long been a guide and solace is Psalm 119:105, “Your Word is a lamp to my feet and light to my path.”

  • Rebecca Grow

    Rebecca and her family have attended Tab since 2019 but have been residents of the area much longer. She graduated from Grace Christian High School in Staunton and graduated with a degree in English Language & Literature from Bridgewater College. She and her husband Nick live in Augusta County with their two young boys.


    Rebecca spends her days working in digital marketing, ghost writing, copywriting, homeschooling, dog-walking, chasing boys around, maintaining a home, and doing many other various activities. 


    In what little free time is left, she enjoys reading and dabbling in creative activities like crochet, watercolor, and sourdough baking.

A Prayer for SUMMER

Father, thank you for the Truth that You are the same yesterday, today, and forever.  


Please bless those whose routine transitions to a rhythm for the summer. Give order enough to notice Your presence in each day and a true sense of Peace to relax in a less structured time of year.


Please bless those whose summer schedule remains steady and full. Give opportunities to enjoy the season in special ways while also noticing Your Grace in the same day to day.


Thank you for Jesus who is our Peace; the One who we long for and need every hour.  


Holy Spirit, please help us to honor and enjoy You all of our days.
