Luke 12:13-21
13 Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the family inheritance with me.” 14 But he said to him, “Friend, who set me to be a judge or arbitrator over you?” 15 And he said to them, “Take care! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.” 16 Then he told them a parable: “The land of a rich man produced abundantly. 17 And he thought to himself, ‘What should I do, for I have no place to store my crops?’ 18 Then he said, ‘I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.’ 20 But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life is being demanded of you. And the things you have prepared, whose will they be?’ 21 So it is with those who store up treasures for themselves but are not rich toward God.”

2022 Stewardship Campaign
This week, we mailed everyone a 2022 stewardship booklet and a pledge card. The booklet lists our opportunities for service and spiritual growth, as well as our financial goals for 2022. If you didn’t get one or need additional pledge cards, please contact the office. We also have several copies available at the church.
Right now, we simply want you to read over the booklet and pray. Ask God to lead you in identifying your areas of service and commitment. Where do you feel God's nudge to serve?
Then, on Commitment Sunday, October 31st, we’ll submit our pledge cards as part of worship. If you cannot be there that Sunday or are worshipping online, you may drop it by the church office or mail it back in the return envelope that we mailed you this week.

Trunk or Treat 2021
Sunday, October 31st, 4-6pm @ Risen Lord Lutheran
This year, Tapestry Church and Risen Lord Lutheran Church are joining together to provide a Trunk or Treat!
On Halloween night, from 4 to 6pm, we’ll gather at Risen Lord (3758 W Whiteland Rd) to hand out candy, hang out around the bonfire, and share God’s love with our community.
In addition to handing out candy, we’ll be having hot dogs and s’mores!
How can you get involved?
1) Volunteer to provide a trunk!
This is the most important part – you cannot have a Trunk or Treat without trunks! It’s actually quite simple: just decorate your trunk or truck bed and hand out candy. There are dozens of great ideas online. If this feels a little daunting, join up with a friend to do a trunk together!
2) Donate candy.
If you cannot be there that night, you can always donate candy or money to purchase candy. This will be used to supplement the candy that each trunk provides.
3) Help with dinner.
We’ll need lots of folks to assist with hotdogs and marshmallow roasting.
It will take all of our combined efforts to make this a memorable event, so please consider which way you want to get involved!
Afghan Refugee Help
Donations of sweat pants, Adult small & medium and children of any size, are being requested. If you are able to help, please leave your donation at church and we will get it to the collecting group.
October Outreach Donations
During the month of October, Outreach will be collecting baby diapers for Resources of Hope, which is an organization in Whiteland providing necessary baby/children’s items free of charge to foster parents.
Revelation!
Join us, via Zoom, as we look into the last book of the Bible. While Revelation has unusual imagery, search with us the relevance to our own time. We'll meet by Zoom on five Thursdays: 10/14, 10/21, 10/28, 11/4, and 11/11 from 6:30 to 7:30 pm (feel free to bring your supper.) Sign up here.
Our leader will be Susan McNeely and she will show us a short weekly video to start our discussion. No book is necessary, but reading the correlating scriptures prior to our lesson is helpful and we'll send you a list when you sign up.

REMINDER!
At both of our weekly worship services, we have multiple options for our children. We have a pray-ground area for kids near the musicians, where kids can play safely with provided resources. We also offer a Sunday School during the sermon with an alternative lesson and activities. If you are in need of a nursery (for ages 0-2), one can be provided with advanced notice. Click here to request nursery care.
