This is the very first of our new online newsletters where I'll give you the skinny on life at Tapestry. This is an important part of our push to bring more unity to Tapestry through increased communication, so please take the time to at least glance over this and make sure you get all the info. If I've forgotten anything that everyone should know about, please send me an email and remind me.

Coming up

• This Friday we're having an adventurous Prayer Night in Citadel. You can join Kelly and Brooke as we walk the streets of this community where they are church starting, praying for the people who live there, and for Tapestry's efforts to reach them. Meet at the Esso on the corner at Nose Hill and Country Hills at 7:00 pm. Don't forget insect repellant and sunscreen. For more info, contact Kelly.
• Tuscany Stampede Breakfast is Saturday, 14 July, and we need all the volunteers we can get to make this an even better time for our friends and neighbors. We'll be cooking, serving, setting up, and tearing down. Oh, and of course, we'll be eating. Please take a moment to register yourself and your family so that we know we can count on seeing you there. You can register here.
• Tapestry is holding Vacation Bible School at the Tuscany Club 9-13 July. Space is limited, so if you haven't registered your kids ages 4-12 yet, click here to register. Make sure to invite your friends and neighbors to sign up as well. This is a great opportunity for kids to learn the stories of Jesus, and for their parents to build a connection with the church.
• This Sunday we'll be at the Tuscany Club, and every Sunday for the rest of the summer! We've had some recent scheduling conflicts, so this is great news. Thanks to all of you who made the treks out to Arbour Lake and cozied up with us at Bob and Debbie's for our Sundays away. Apologies to everyone who came looking for us at the Tuscany Club on the Sundays we weren't there. For times and directions good through August, click here.

On the web

• 
  Bike Fest photos are online! The Bike Fests in Rocky Ridge and Citadel were as much fun as can be had on 2 wheels. These were a huge help to both our church starts, and they added some incredible presence to these two communities. These places were different and better for a few hours because we were there. Our people had dozens of spiritual conversations with people who never come to our churches as we ate, played, talked, and peddled with these people. Pray for us as we follow up with the people we've met, sharing the gospel and inviting them to join us in following Jesus. A very special thanks to the Bike Fest team from Heart, and to our BBQers from FBC Tifton. We couldn't have done it without their hard work and great Bike Fest supplies.
• Tapestry Tuscany has a brand new Google Calendar. You can view it on the Tapestry Tuscany page, or add it to your own Google Calendar or iCal so that you're always up to date.
• Notes from Nick is the brand new page with a catalogue of all my emails to Tapestry at large. Visit this page to find the most up to date newsletter, along with an archive of previous letters and other pertinent emails, such as my recent letter to the church on our current state of transition (click here). Of course, if you're reading this, you've probably figured that out already.
