Helping the Vedoyas, Discover Tapestry, & Vote on Leadership Recommendations

CARING FOR THE VEDOYA FAMILY - URGENT HELP
NEEDED!
Meg Vedoya, expecting their fourth child in 6 weeks, has been put on bed rest by her doctor because of pre-term labour concerns. Obviously, this has put extra weight on Jay and the rest of the family. Jay has left work to take care of the family and home, on top of attending classes (which hasn't left a whole lot of time for schoolwork!). Meg's mom is flying in from Japan to help, but cannot be here until March 31. As their church family, we want to come alongside to bless and help them in the following ways:
Meal Sign Up - We're looking for people who will sign up to provide a meal (or two, given the unusually long time frame) over the next month. Please contact Joyce Poon at 403-709-0300 or by email at joyce.s.poon@gmail.com. If you are unable to get your meal to the Vedoyas in Cochrane, arrangements can be made for your meal to be picked up. Another option is to make frozen meals and bring them to church on Sunday and someone will look after delivering them during the week.
Child Care - The Vedoyas are in need of childcare for Kanon from 9:30-11:30 am every weekday except Thursdays and care for Lisa, Aily and Kanon from 3:30 - 5:30 pm every weekday except Thursdays. It would be extremely helpful if those doing childcare can sign up as a "regular" (i.e. take every Monday, or every other Monday afternoon, etc.). To help with childcare, please contact Lauren Miller at (403) 851-0284 or at by email at lauren.dave@gmail.com.
Help Around the House - Meg has also expressed a need to have someone help with loading and unloading the dishwasher (hopefully whoever is there doing childcare or dropping off a meal can also do the dishes!). No doubt other help with cleaning would be welcome and appreciated.
Thanks in advance to everyone for pitching in! The Vedoyas need help ASAP, so please respond right away and remember the Vedoya family in your prayers. If you 'd like to help in other ways not mentioned above, please contact Meg (who would love the company!) or Jay at:
Jay & Meg (and Lisa, Aily & Kanon)
34 Seminary Ridge, Cochrane
403-383-8607 (Meg) / 403-383-8674 (Jay)
FRIDAY NIGHT PRAYER
Everyone is invited for Friday Night Prayer this Friday, Feb. 19 at 7:00 pm at Max & Lynda's place (37 Tuscany Springs Circle). Afterward, we'll enjoy hanging out.
DISCOVER TAPESTRY
New to Tapestry? Interested in learning more about who we are and what we're about? Join us for a "Discover Tapestry" class this Friday, Feb. 19 at 7:00 pm. This class is a pre-requisite for church membership, but is also for anyone who just wants to learn more about Tapestry. Please sign up by contacting Steve.
LEADERSHIP RECOMMENDATIONS
Just a reminder that there will be a vote by our church membership after the service this coming Sunday, Feb. 21 on Bob Shelton assuming the role of Lead Pastor (Lead Elder) of Tapestry and the nominations of Glenn Watson and Steve Rathje to serve new 3-year terms as Elders. Please prayerfully consider these recommendations. If you have any questions or concerns, please talk with any of our current Elders (Max Blazina, Steve Rathje, Thom Gordon) before Sunday, and/or feel free to talk with Bob about how he feels God has been leading him to make himself available to serve in this way.
GOD STORY ON PROVISION?
Do you have a God Story of how the Lord provided for you during a time of physical, emotional or spiritual need? If so, please get in touch with Steve. The focus of an upcoming message is on God's provision and it would be great to hear how the Lord has demonstrated his faithfulness to those in our church family.
DISASTER RELIEF TRAINING
The Canadian National Baptist Convention (CNBC) is offering a Basic Disaster Relief Training session in Calgary on Saturday, Feb. 27 from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm at Richmond Hill Baptist Church (lunch is provided).
