Community Clean-up, Baptism, Discover Tapestry, & Belonging

YOUTH
This Friday, the youth will be attending the High Valley concert at Bow Valley Baptist Church in Cochrane.  The concert starts at 7:00 pm and is a fundraiser for Disaster Relief. There is no charge, but cash donations will be accepted at the door for those wishing to contribute. Anyone needing a ride should contact Janis Litorco at 403-669-4884.
 
FRIDAY NIGHT PRAYER
Last Sunday, we talked about the importance and power of prayer.  Looking for a way to put that into practice?  Join us this Friday at 7:00 pm at Max & Lynda's place.  We'll celebrate the Lord's Supper and seek God together in prayer.  Afterward, we'll hang out and play some games.  Join us!
 
COMMUNITY CLEAN-UP
At Tapestry, we want Tuscany to be an even better place because we're part of it!  We have an opportunity to get involved and help keep our community clean by volunteering at the annual spring clean-up next Saturday, May 9 from 9:00 am - noon.  We'll join our neighbors for morning juice/coffee before hitting the parks and trails, then enjoy a BBQ lunch at the Club to wrap up the event.  Come on out and volunteer a few hours with friends and family serving our community!  Contact Steve to sign-up. 
 
BAPTISM
Once we've decided to follow Jesus, He wants us to publicly confess our personal commitment to Him through believer's baptism.  If you're interested in being baptized or just want to learn more about baptism, please speak with Steve or one of the elders (Bob, Max or Thom).  We're planning a baptism service for late May/early June.
 
DISCOVER TAPESTRY
New to Tapestry?  Interested in learning what we're about, where we sense God is leading us and how you can be a part of the Tapestry family?  We'll be hosting a "Discover Tapestry" class on Sunday, May 31 at 6:30 pm at Steve & Marilyn's place.  To sign-up, please contact Steve.
 
BELONGING
Tapestry isn't just a place to attend, it's a place to call home.  Here are some ways you can connect more deeply as part of the Tapestry family:
  • Join a small group - A place where you can do real life together with real people.  Please talk to Max & Lynda Blazina.
  • Give yourself away - Each of us has a place, a purpose, a role to fill in serving God and others.  What's your ministry?  As a church, we want to provide a safe place where you can explore your calling and discover who God has made you to be.  Talk to Steve for more info.
  • Jump in - Take advantage of opportunities to hang out with others whenever you can.  There's always something going on and you're invited!
  • Discover Tapestry - Sign up for the Discover Tapestry class (see above) to learn more about who we are and how you can be a part of the Tapestry Church family. 
PRINCE RUPERT
Josh and Khara Tait are returning to Prince Rupert, BC this June to help out with Seafest and to continue building relationships with the local people.  They would love to have some people from Tapestry join them as they seek to give themselves away and sow seeds for a possible church plant down the road.  If interested, please contact Josh & Khara for more information.
 
SERMON FOLLOW-UP
Thinking about the message last Sunday...
  • A key point:  The most important work we can do as followers of Jesus is to pray.  It's a ministry every single one of us can be a part of.
  • For further reflection:  Would you describe yourself as someone devoted to prayer?  What specific things can you do to make prayer more a part of your life? 
GOD'S WORD IN YOU
Here's the memory verse for this week:  Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6-7 NIV).
