CONGRATULATIONS!
Last Sunday was a special day in our church family as we gathered to celebrate with those who followed Jesus in believer's baptism. Congratulations to Orlando, Rosalba, Samuel & Giselle Morean; Alys Hertzsprung; and Brittany Folk! Thank you, too, to the Gordons for graciously hosting the get-together at their place.

BACK TO THE CLUB
Just a reminder that beginning this coming Sunday, June 28, we'll be back at the Tuscany Club for our worship services for the summer.
END-OF-YEAR WRAP-UP CELEBRATION
We took a few minutes after the service last week to review, discuss and vote on proposed changes to our Constitution. The changes are in keeping with recommendations from Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) related to our application to become a registered charity. If you missed the meeting or want to review the amendments in more detail, please click here to access a copy. As discussed at the meeting, the proposed amendments will be reviewed with CRA. If no further changes are made to what we voted on last week, a second vote to adopt the changes will take place on Sunday, July 26 following the service. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact one of our elders: Steve, Bob, Max or Thom.
CNBC ANNUAL CONVENTION
In Edmonton, June 30 - July 2 (next week). A great opportunity to connect with others from Canadian National Baptist Convention (CNBC) churches across Canada for worship, celebration and training. Amazing programs for children and youth, combined with great sessions covering a variety of areas for ministry and spiritual growth make this an event for the whole family. Click here for more information. If you plan to attend, please let Steve know.
SCOTTISH DANCE
We're having another ceilidh (pronounced 'caylee') - a Scottish dance similar to square dancing - on Friday, July 10 at Cathy & Ted's place (90 Huggard Rd, Calgary), which is out in Springbank. Bring some munchies or a dessert to share and something to drink. Things will get underway around 7:00 pm. Everyone is welcome!
YAHOO!
It's that time of year! Tapestry is once again helping out with the Tuscany Community Stampede Breakfast on Saturday, July 11, 9:00 am. Dust off yer cowboy hat, shine up 'em boots, slap on a Tapestry t-shirt and join in the fun! Our involvement in the past has not only helped make the event a success, but sends a strong message that we care about and want to serve our community. To volunteer, please sign-up at church or contact Steve.
GOD'S WORD IN YOU
Here's the memory verse for this week: For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 6:23 NIV).

END-OF-YEAR WRAP-UP CELEBRATION
- When? - This Sunday, June 28, 10:30 am at the Tuscany Club (downstairs/outside). This will replace our regular worship service.
- What will we do? - An informal get-together to hang out, eat, share God Stories and celebrate the end of another year of ministry. Closer to noon, we'll eat together.
- What should I bring? - Food for your family (ready-made, unless you want to take a chance on being able to use one of the BBQ/grills on the Club grounds; if so, you'll also need to bring some wood), an extra food item to share (salad, side dish, dessert), lawn chairs, games, etc. Hopefully, the weather will be good and we can be outside. You'll also have an opportunity to share about God's faithfulness and/or working over the last year, so come prepared to share your God Story!

Friday Night Prayer, Baptism Service, God Stories, & Prince Rupert
03/06/09 07:06
THANK
YOU!
A special thanks to the Napady small group for providing breakfast and lunch at our Action 52 Evangelism seminar last Saturday! The food was great and we appreciate you giving yourselves away by serving us so graciously.
FRIDAY NIGHT PRAYER
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!
BAPTISM SERVICE & BBQ
Next Sunday is a special day in the life of our church family! Everyone is invited to Thom & Lorie Gordon's on Sunday, June 21 at 3:00 pm for a baptism service and BBQ. Please bring a salad, side dish or dessert to share, and a lawn chair. We have at least six people who have decided to take the next step in their walk with Jesus by following Him in believer's baptism. Come celebrate with them and show your support!
GOD STORIES
As Marilyn reminded us on Sunday, God is at work all around us - we just need our eyes opened to see the amazing things He is doing. Sharing God Stories has always been an important part of life at Tapestry. Hearing how God is at work among us not only gives Him glory, but it's a tremendous encouragement to others and builds our faith as we follow Jesus together. What's your God Story? It may be an answer to prayer, a opportunity you had to share your faith, a surprise blessing, or some other way God has shown Himself faithful to you. Nothing is too "small" to share; if it's important to you, it's important to us! Please let Marilyn Rathje know about your God Story and we'll make sure you are given an opportunity to share.
ON MISSION IN RUPERT
Josh and Khara leave on Friday for Prince Rupert, BC where they are leading a team in ministry for the next couple of weeks. Please remember to pray for them as they travel to/from Prince Rupert, as they reconnect with people they built relationships with last year, and as they seek to love and serve the community in Jesus' name.
COMING SOON...
This week, the message will be based on Acts 15:1-35. Paul and Barnabas are home from their missionary journey, but now a new threat emerges. Check it out ahead of time!
GOD'S WORD IN YOU
Here's the memory verse for this week: Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight (Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV).
