Mission Possible
At Tapestry, we want to be intentional about giving ourselves away here in Tuscany, in our city, in our nation and around the globe. Do you have a heart for missions? Have some thoughts and ideas on cool stuff we could do? Steve and Marilyn are hosting a dessert meeting at their place on Sunday, November 9 at 6:30 pm to talk, dream and pray about how God wants us to be on mission together as a church. Please let Steve know if you plan to attend.
Serving at The Seed
Speaking of giving ourselves away, we have an opportunity to help serve some our city's less fortunate at The Mustard Seed Street Ministry on Saturday, November 29 from 9:00 am to noon. We will prepare lunch, help clean the facility and sort through donations. To sign-up, please contact Steve or add your name to the sign-up sheet at church on Sunday.
Operation Christmas Child
Operation Christmas Child (OCC), a project of Samaritan's Purse, brings joy and hope to children in desperate situations around the world through gift-filled shoe boxes and the message of God's unconditional love. Here's how you can get involved:
Bob and Debbie Shelton are hosting a new small group on Thursday nights. If you're not currently part of a small group, you are welcome to to join them! For more information, please contact Bob or Debbie at 403-239-4713.

God's Word in You
Here's the memory verse for this week: Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself (Matthew 22:37-39 NIV).

bring hope and joy to a child by packing your own
