Here's some of what has happened at Ocean City Tabernacle 

  Travel with the Tabernacle to Rembrandt's Faces of Jesus

Philadelphia Museum of Art trip, Thursday, September 22, 8 am - 3 pm 

Bus leaves the Tabernacle at 8 am, returns after lunch.  $80 includes transportation, private guided tour of the exhibit, free time to see more or revisit, sandwich lunch in the hall of tapestries, and all admissions and gratuitites.  Register by calling 609.399.1915.  Tickets are still available. 

This is the first exhibition of Rembrandt ever presented in Philadelphia.  It brings together evocative paintings, rare drawings, and a host of prints--in Philadelphia after its debut at the Louvre Museum--and includes seven of Rembrandt's dazzling depictions of Christ, which have not been seen together since they left his Amsterdam studio in 1656.
