Getting Together With God
God's desire is that we know Him intimately and enjoy an authentic, personal and growing relationship with Him. An important part of developing that relationship is spending time alone with God on a regular basis. If you're not sure how to do that, or want some help in cultivating a personal quiet time that works for you, come on out for an informal dessert get-together this Sunday, October 26 at 6:30 pm at Steve & Marilyn's place. To sign-up, please contact Steve by Friday.
Tapestry Kids Need You!
We love our kids at Tapestry and we want to provide the very best in helping them learn what it means to know, love and follow Jesus. We are in urgent need of adult teachers and helpers for all of our children's ministry programs. Will you give yourself away to serve God, our kids and their parents in these vital ministries? For more information or to help out, please speak with Janet Napady (Nursery), Debbie Shelton (Pre-school) or Khara Tait (Grades 1 - 6).
Engagement Party
Congratulations to James Banman and Kendra Lee on their recent engagement! To celebrate, an informal get-together in their honor is planned for Saturday, November 1. Potluck dinner around 6:00 pm, followed by some hanging out and maybe a few games. Location to be announced. For more information, please contact Erin Hertzsprung at 403-889-1800. Everyone is welcome!
Operation Christmas Child Volunteer Opportunity
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. The Rathje small group is gathering a group from Tapestry to volunteer at the OCC Processing Centre in Calgary on Thursday, December 11 from 7:00 - 10:00 pm, where we will help sort through shoe box gifts packed by Canadians and get them ready for shipment overseas. Interested in joining us? Please contact Steve to sign-up (volunteers must be at least 14 years of age). This is a great opportunity for small groups to serve together! For more information on the OCC program, or to find out how you and your family can participate by packing your own shoebox, pick up a brochure at church on Sunday or click here.
God Stories
"Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done...tell of all his wonderful acts." (Psalm 105:1,2). God is at work all around us and it is good to tell of the wonderful things He has done. Hearing how God is at work among us not only gives Him glory, but it's a tremendous encouragement to others and builds our faith as we follow Jesus together. What's your God story? It may be an answer to prayer, a surprise blessing, or some other way God has shown Himself faithful to you. Nothing is too "small" to share; if it's important to you, it's important to us! Please let Max or Steve know about your God Story and we'll make sure you are given an opportunity to tell what He has done for you.
God's Word in You
Here's the memory verse for this week: Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent (John 17:3 NIV).
