BBQ & Prayer
The team from Texas arrives tomorrow and we're gathering with them for a BBQ on Friday evening (June 27) at 6:00 pm at Thom & Lorie Gordon's.  We'll enjoy getting to know the team and spend some time in worship and prayer as we kick off our summer ministry.  Please bring a salad, side dish or dessert to share! 
 
Summer Ministry
There's lots going on over the next few weeks as Tapestry reaches out to love and serve the communities in which we live.  For more info on any of the events or to sign-up to help, please email Lynda Blazina or call her at 403-288-6615.  Here's how you can get involved:

• VBS in Morley - As announced at church on Sunday, the Lord has opened a door for us to run a VBS program on the Stoney Nakoda First Nation in Morley.  The program will run Monday, June 30 through Friday, July 4 from 9:30 am - noon.  For more information, contact Lynda.
  • Canada Day Block Party - The Blazinas are hosting a Canada Day party on Tuesday, July 1 for all their neighbors who live around the green space behind their home...and everyone at Tapestry is invited!  We'll meet at 6:00 pm in the field behind their place, enjoy a BBQ supper, celebrate our great nation, and get to meet some of their neighbors.  All food will be provided - just bring a lawn chair and/or picnic blanket!
  • Family Movie Night - the Tuscany Community Association is having a Movie Night on Tuesday, July 2 at dusk.  Tapestry is helping out with pre-show entertainment (e.g. face painting), set-up/tear-down, etc... This is a great opportunity to hang out with our neighbors, serve our community and enjoy a free movie!
  • Prayer Walking - One of the most important and effective ways we can touch our community is to simply pray.  Join us as we walk around and pray for Tuscany over the next couple of weeks.  Specific days and times to be announced.
  • Stampede Breakfast - Once again this year, Tapestry is helping out with the Tuscany Stampede Breakfast on Saturday, July 12.  Dust off yer cowboy hat, shine up 'em boots, slap on a Tapestry t-shirt and join in the fun!
  • Women's Bible Study - Kathy Howard, one of the team members from Texas coming to help us out this summer, has written and developed a great "Getting to Know Who Jesus Is" study that she is going to share on July 7 - 11 from 10:00 am to noon at Lorie Gordon's place.  It's a great study for anyone interested in learning more about who Jesus is - both those exploring the Christian faith and those who have already asked Jesus to be part of their lives.  All former MOPS moms have been invited, but this is an open invitation for anyone who is interested.  Why not come out and bring a friend?  There is no cost and childcare will be provided.  Just let Lynda know how many kids you'll be bringing so we ensure we have ample childcare.
  • Citadel - Kelly & Brooke Reid could use some help during the first 2 weeks of July distributing door hangers advertising their summer ministry events in Citadel.  If you can help, please contact them at 403-932-5757.
  • Host a Family - A team from Colorado will be here from July 16 - 21 to serve both Rocky Ridge and Citadel and we're looking for host families.  Hosting includes providing a place to stay (a spare room, basement, trailer, even a couch!) and breakfast in the morning (i.e. cereal).  The team consists of singles, young marrieds and families.  Tapestry families hosted the team last year and it was a great experience for both hosts and guests!  If you can help or know someone who can, please contact Kyla Moon.
