Baptism
Photos
Last Sunday was a very special day in the life of Tapestry as we gathered to celebrate with eleven in our church family who followed Jesus in believer's baptism. Despite the cold rain (hey, some of us were going to get wet anyway!), we had a great turnout - thanks to all of you who came out to show your support. A special heartfelt thanks to Thom and Lorie Gordon who hosted the event and went over and above the call of duty to serve us all. Check out the photos!
Summer Ministry
We're gearing up for 2 weeks of "giving ourselves away" to our community this July and you can be part of the action! Lynda Blazina is hosting a meeting at her place right after church on Sunday (lunch is provided) to talk about the plans and how you can be involved. For more information, please contact Lynda.
Host a Family
Speaking of summer ministry, there is a great and practical way for you to help - both in Tuscany and with our church plants! The team from Texas who is joining us for our first week of ministry in July needs a place to stay for two nights until they can get into their accommodation for the week. If you are able to host a single, couple or family June 27-28, please let Lynda Blazina know. We will also have a sign-up at church.
Tapestry Rocky Ridge and Tapestry Citadel are hosting Bike Fests this summer, and they're looking for families to host the team from Colorado. This team stayed with our families last year, and it was a great experience for everyone involved. If you are able to host a single, couple, or family with kids July 16 - 20, please contact Kyla Moon and let her know. If you're disappointed because 4 days just isn't long enough to really get to know someone, then you're in luck. Kevin and Kalina Young will get here early to prepare for Bike Fest, and, along with their 5 year old son Sam, will need a place to stay. If you have a spare room, a camper trailer, second house, basement suite, or even 2 couches available July 8 - 20, please let Kyla know.
Genn Update
Little Gus had his heart surgery on Tuesday and it appears all went well. Please continue to pray for a complete and speedy recovery. Josh and Kelly wish to extend their thanks for everyone's support and prayers! For an up-to-date report, check out the carepage Kelly has started.
Girls Clothing Needed
Steve & Marilyn Rathje are leading a "Family AdVenture" mission trip to Mexico this summer (July 19 - 30). The host ministry in Mexico has opened a girls orphanage and is in desperate need of clothing of all sizes. If you have girls clothing you would like to donate, please let the Steve & Marilyn know as they are rounding up clothes to take with them. Family AdVenture is a family-oriented, "kid-friendly" mission experience involving a variety of work and ministry opportunities organized by Venture Teams International. Interested in joining us? For more info, please contact the Rathjes or visit VTI's Family AdVenture website.
