Thank
You!
A big heartfelt "thank you!" to all who came out to help with the Tuscany Stampede Breakfast last Saturday. We had over 35 volunteers from Tapestry! Our involvement not only helped make the event a success, but sent a strong message that we care about and want to be involved in our community. John, the Tuscany Program Director, couldn't believe the support from Tapestry and thanked us many times over for all our help, saying they couldn't have pulled it off without us. Well done!
News!
You'll soon see some new faces around Tapestry. Mountain View Christian Fellowship, a CCSB church that Tapestry has been associated with since our inception, has decided to close its doors at the end of July. A number of factors brought them to this point, the latest being a tripling of the rent in the community center where they meet. One of the options they discussed was joining with an existing church, an idea they approached the elders of Tapestry with last month. After much discussion and prayer, the elders feel this is something God would have us do and we see benefits for both congregations. We expect roughly 10 or 12 people from Mountain View will end up joining with Tapestry. Most of Mountain View visited with us for our worship service last weekend and are excited to become part of the Tapestry family. We will plan a potluck social in August to provide an opportunity for us to hang out and get to know one another better. Further information will be provided at church this Sunday. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact any member of the elders: Bob, Max, Thom or Steve (note Steve and Max will be away until early August).
The Lord has used Mountain View to touch countless lives for His Kingdom over the years and they have been an important part of Tapestry's story. Even though their doors may be closing, the legacy of their "work produced by faith, their labor prompted by love, and their endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ" (1 Thessalonians 1:3) will live on into eternity for God's glory and praise.
On the Move
Gordon and Andrea Weynschenk are excited to move into their new home in Tuscany this Saturday, but they could use some help! If you can spare a couple of hours to help with the move or with cleaning their old place, please call them 403-475-5354 (home) or 403-604-4893 (cell).
Mexico Family Adventure
The Rathje family leaves on July 19 to help lead a 2-week family-oriented mission trip to Tepic, Mexico. Please remember the Rathjes and their team in prayer while they are away. Pray for health, safety, team unity and for fruitful & effective ministry. Gracias!
Welcome Home Party
Please note a change of date and time for Ethan Shelton's Welcome Home Party. Due to schedule conflicts with many of April and Josh's friends, the date has been changed to Sunday, July 27 from 5:00 to 8:00 pm at Nose Creek Park in Airdrie. The new date should be a better time for the party - we hope you will be able to attend! Please email Heather Bush or call her at 403-980-7044 to RSVP. As a gift, a wooden play fort has been purchased for the family and already set-up in their back yard. If you would like to contribute towards the cost of the play structure, you are welcome to do so. A card/donation basket will be available at the party ~ please feel free to include notes of encouragement for the Shelton family!
