OCEAN CITY – Admiral Dr. Barry Black, Chaplain of the United States Senate, returns this Sunday to Ocean City Tabernacle, Labor Day weekend, speaking at both the 8:30 and 10:30 a.m. worship services. Morning music and a full evening concert (7:00 pm) is presented by a pair of rising stars, wife and husband, Jenny and Tyler.
Rev. Dr. Black has been Chaplain of the United States Senate since 2003 where he followed Lloyd David Ogilvie (another Tabernacle speaker). Chaplain Black is a native of Baltimore, Maryland and an alumnus of Oakwood College, Andrews University, North Carolina Central University, Eastern Baptist Seminary, Salve Regina University, and United States International University. In addition to earning Master of Arts degrees in Divinity, Counseling, and Management, he has received a Doctorate degree in Ministry and a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Psychology.
Chaplain Black has been selected for many outstanding achievements. Of particular note, he was chosen from 127 nominees for the NAACP Renowned Service Award for his contribution to equal opportunity and civil rights. Chaplain Black is married to the former Brenda Pearsall of St. Petersburg, Florida. They have three sons: Barry II, Brendan, and Bradford.
Jenny and Tyler are new to the Tabernacle. Their 2010 CD “Faint Not” gained national attention and last spring’s CD “Open Your Doors” formed the basis of a recent tour including the Lifelight Festival and travel with Sara Groves and Bebo Norman.
All Tabernacle services are inter-denominational. The 8:30 worship is traditional, beginning with a hymn-sing at 8:15 as the congregation arrives, led by Greg Field with organist Jeff Seals and pianist Carolyn Lothian. The 10:30 service is more upbeat and popular style with “praise & worship” music (sometimes called “contemporary”).
Child-care for ages 3 and younger is in the Noah’s Ark nursery both morning and evening and age-appropriate Sunday School is available for children during the morning services.
Everyone is welcome—come in vacation clothes. Sunday events at the Tabernacle are by contribution only; tickets not needed. Parking is free on the Tabernacle grounds for anyone attending worship or concerts.
