GOD'S WORD IN YOU
Here's the memory verse for this week: For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him (Psalm 103:11-13 NIV).

GETTING TO KNOW OUR LEADERS
This week, we'll learn more about Thom Gordon who serves as one of Tapestry's elders:
- Born: Edmonton, Alberta
- A little about Thom: Thom has been an engineer and computer professional for over 30 years. Thom and his wife, Lorie, have 5 fabulous children and 5 wonderful grandchildren so far (another is due later in 2009). They spent 13 years in the Middle East where Thom learned what the love of God feels like when the going gets tough. Living in a Middle Eastern culture helped put the Bible into perspective in a profound way. Since he was a child, Thom was never satisfied with the world's answers. His wife Lorie helped him discover that Christ is clearly the answer he sought. Thom has developed a profound love for Christ, who best personifies why God created us and who He is in our lives. Thom is still a work in progress, trying to find ways to thank God for the unbelievable gift he gave to us in Christ Jesus.
- Favorite Movie: The Gods Must Be Crazy (I and II)
- Favorite Music: Just about anything - especially country!
- Favorite Place: Athens, Greece
- Favorite Pastimes: Building and Fixing Stuff, Long Hikes in natural or historical settings, Music (listening and plunking a guitar), Writing
- Favorite Scripture: Psalm 31:21 - "Praise be to the Lord, for he showed his wonderful love to me when I was in a besieged city." Also 31:22 "In my alarm I said 'I am cut off from your sight!' Yet you heard my cry for mercy when I called to you for help." (1991, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia - The Gulf War)
Thinking about last Sunday's message on Acts 9:1-19...
- A key point: Genuine conversion yields a Godly transformation.
- For further reflection: In what way is God transforming your life to be more like Jesus Christ these days? Is there something you won’t allow God to change in you?
This week, we'll be looking at Acts 9:19-31. Check it out ahead of time!
