A Note from the Elders
Last Sunday, September 21, Tapestry Church unanimously affirmed Steve Rathje to serve as our lead pastor (elder). Steve has been a faithful member of Tapestry, serving as a home group leader as well as chairman of our transition team. He has expressed and evidenced a call from God to ministry and we are excited that he has agreed to lead us during this important season in the life of our church. His passion is discipleship and missions. As he works with the elders and the congregation we believe God will continue to pour out his blessings under Steve's leadership. Please pray regularly for Steve and Marilyn as well as their children, Sara, Jana, and Jonah.
