LIFE
OF PAUL
Beginning this Sunday, Josh Tait will lead a 4-week study that looks at the unparalleled life and ministry of the apostle Paul. After a powerful encounter with Jesus, Paul went from being a persecutor of believers to being persecuted for his role in spreading the good news about Christ, and eventually martyred. He was the first organized missionary in history and the letters he wrote make up almost two thirds of our New Testament. Come learn and grow on Sunday, March 22, 29, April 5 & 12 from 6:30 - 9:00 pm. Please sign-up by contacting Josh at 403-851-0338 or by email at joshuahtait@gmail.com.

Thinking about last Sunday's message on Acts 9:19-31...
This week, we'll be looking at Acts 9:32-43. In the passage, we'll be introduced to a woman named Dorcas (Tabitha) who cared for and ministered to those in need in very practical ways. Has God provided a Dorcas in your life, someone who came alongside to minister to you during a time of need? If so, you'll have an opportunity to share at church this week your story of God's kindness and generosity demonstrated through His people.
GOD'S WORD IN YOU
Here's the memory verse for this week: I can do everything through him who gives me strength (Philippians 4:13 NIV).

GETTING TO KNOW OUR LEADERS
This week, we'll learn more about Bob Shelton who serves as one of Tapestry's elders:
- Born: Portsmouth, Virginia
- A little about Bob: I grew up in a small town in Southern Illinois. I did not attend church much but in my teen years started going to church to play on the basketball team. Through the prayers and love of those folks I became a Christ follower. It's hard to believe that was 40 years ago. My current ministry assignment besides serving as an elder at Tapestry is working as the National Team Leader for Church Strengthening with the Canadian National Baptist Convention. My great passion is to encourage and develop the next generation of leaders. My hearts desire is to leave a legacy of faith to my children and grandchildren. Deb and I have been married for 36 years. We have 4 children and 5 grandchildren. The purpose of my life is to help my family and others to enjoy the journey with Jesus, stay the course and finish well.
- Favorite Movie: My Life
- Favorite Music: All types, especially jazz and blue grass
- Favorite Place: Anywhere there is a sandy beach and warm weather
- Favorite Pastimes: Hanging out with family, playing tennis, taking reflective walks, riding my motorcycle
- Favorite Scripture: Psalm 78:72 "And David shepherded them with integrity of heart; with skillful hands he led them."
Thinking about last Sunday's message on Acts 9:19-31...
- A key point: Three themes that run throughout the book of Acts are: (1) Christians are those who are filled with the Spirit and are Spirit-driven; (2) Christians are those who have an evangelistic ministry, whose preaching is Christ-centered; and (3) Christians are those who live in community, who are community-nurtured.
- For further reflection: How can we surrender our lives to the Holy Spirit and let him control and direct our lives? What is the gospel message which we preach? How did the early church demonstrate community-nurtured living? How can we do the same?
