What Was the Tabernacle Encounter?

In October 2024, Florence First Seventh-day Adventist Church hosted a remarkable outreach experience: a full-size replica of the ancient biblical Tabernacle, open to the entire community. Over ten days, families, students, and seekers of all backgrounds stepped into the holy tent that Moses and Israel carried through the wilderness.

Each guest received a 30-minute guided tour exploring the symbolic meaning of the outer court, the Holy Place, and the Most Holy Place — and had time for quiet, prayerful reflection. Admission was completely free.
