STUDY ON PAUL
As we journey through Acts, we're going to meet a man that has left an impression on the world like few in history have:  the Apostle Paul. Next to Jesus Christ, he is likely to have influenced the development of Christianity more than any other person. The apostle Paul went from being the persecutor of Christianity to being persecuted for his role in Christianity, and eventually martyred. He was the first organized missionary in history and the letters he wrote make up almost two thirds of our New Testament. In this four week study, we will examine in depth the life and missionary endeavors of this enigmatic character. Who was he?  What did he do?  And how did he do it?  Join us Sunday, March 22, 29, April 5 & 12 from 6:30 - 9:00 pm (location to be determined).  Please sign-up by contacting Josh Tait at 403-851-0338 or by email at joshuahtait@gmail.com.
 
GETTING TO KNOW OUR LEADERS
Tapestry is led by a team of elders who shepherd, oversee, lead and care for the local church as we follow Jesus together. Steve Rathje serves as our pastor/lead elder. Bob Shelton, Max Blazina and Thom Gordon serve with Steve as elders in spiritual ministry to the church.  To help you get to know our leaders a little better, we're going to provide a profile of each over the next several weeks.  This week, we'll learn more about Steve:

• Born:  Norman, Oklahoma
• A little about Steve:  For many years, Steve had a stirring in his heart for greater ministry involvement.  After working in Human Resources for many years, God opened a door for Steve to serve as pastor at Tapestry early in 2008.  With no formal bible college or seminary training, Steve is humbled to serve in this way - an example that "God doesn't necessarily call the qualified, but qualifies the called."  He and his wife Marilyn have been married for 17 years and are the proud parents of three great kids:  Sara, Jana and Jonah.  Steve's passion is seeing people hunger for and experience an authentic, personal and growing relationship with Jesus.
• Favorite Book (other than the Bible):  "My Utmost for His Highest" by Oswald Chambers
• Favorite Music:  Just about anything - except country!
• Favorite Place:  Oregon coast
• Favorite Pastimes:  Camping, mission trips, being by the ocean, prayer walks, playing games, hanging out with family and good friends.
• Favorite Scripture:  Isaiah 41:10 - "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed for I am your God.  I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

• A key point:  God is at work all around us.  May we have eyes to see, ears to hear and willing hearts to obey - one step at a time - when He invites us to join Him in the amazing things He is doing.
• For further reflection:  Have you done the last thing God asked you to do?  If not, why not?
