This
Sunday...Same Time, New Place!
Just a reminder that Tapestry will be meeting at Tuscany School (990 Tuscany Drive) this Sunday, Feb. 1 at 10:30 am. See you there! Click here for a map.
Movie Event
From the creators of Facing the Giants (a great movie, if you haven't seen it), comes a new movie called FIREPROOF. It is an action-packed love story about a firefighter, his wife and a marriage worth rescuing. This powerful movie opens dialogue about conflict resolution, the differences between men and women, pornography, forgiveness and, most importantly, the need for God's love.
Tapestry is showing FIREPROOF on Saturday, Feb. 21 at 6:30 pm at the Tuscany Club. This is a great opportunity to touch not only relationships in our church, but also as a way to reach out to families in our community and let them know we're here to help them build strong families. We plan to follow-up the movie event with a one-day marriage seminar in March that provides practical help, hope and encouragement in fireproofing our marriages.
A limited number of free tickets will be available at church beginning this Sunday. Plan to come and invite friends or neighbors to join you! If you're interested in helping with the event, please talk with Abbie Macdonald.
Small Groups
They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer...All the believers were together and had everything in common...Every day they continued to meet together...They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts...And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved (Acts 2:42-47).
Small groups are a great place where this kind of "life together" can be experienced within the context of loving, real relationships. Tapestry has a number of small groups that meet throughout the week, both in Calgary and Cochrane. If you're not currently a part of a small group, you should be! It's a safe place to live out our values of GOD (delighting in God as we follow after Jesus); PEOPLE (doing life together as we give ourselves away); SCRIPTURE (loving, learning and living out God's Word); and TRANSFORMATION (becoming more and more in every way like Jesus). Talk with Max & Lynda Blazina (403-288-6615 or maxnme@shaw.ca) for more information on how you can jump into small group life at Tapestry.
Men's Gathering
The guys are invited for a night of hot tubbing, games, foosball, x-box 360, etc. this Friday, Jan. 30. Bring some munchies and meet at Thom Gordon's (59 Church Ranches Blvd NW) around 7:00 pm. If you're new to Tapestry, this is a great chance to connect with the guys for a casual time of hanging out. For more information, contact Gordon Weynschenk at 403-475-5354.
Baby on the Way!
Calvin & Joyce Poon are expecting their baby to arrive any day! As a church, we want to come alongside them and help out with meals as they transition to this new phase of life. A meal sign-up sheet will be available at church on Sunday, or you can call/email Abbie Macdonald (403-851-1054) to sign-up. Since they live in Cochrane, frozen meals can be brought to church and Abbie will ensure they are delivered to Calvin and Joyce. Please remember the Poons in prayer...hopefully we'll hear something soon!
Dreads for Diabetes
Erin Johnstone has decided that it's finally time to get rid of the dreads. Rather than be bald for no good reason, she is raising money for Juvenile Diabetes research. The dreads are coming off on Monday February 9, 2009 at 5:00 pm in the Art room at the Children's Hospital and everyone is invited to come watch Erin get her drastic haircut. In the meantime, she's hoping to raise as much as she can for this worthwhile cause. If you'd like to sponsor her, she'll have pledge forms available at church, or contact her by email at i_am_wearing_a_shoe@hotmail.com.
God's Word in You
Here's the memory verse for this week: For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 8:38-39 NIV).
