A place of hope (Jesus raises Lazarus)

John 11:17-36

17 When Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb four days. 18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, some two miles away, 19 and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to console them about their brother. 20 When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, while Mary stayed at home. 21 Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. 22 But even now I know that God will give you whatever you ask of him.” 23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.” 24 Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.” 25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live, 26 and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” 27 She said to him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one coming into the world.” 28 When she had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary, and told her privately, “The Teacher is here and is calling for you.” 29 And when she heard it, she got up quickly and went to him. 30 Now Jesus had not yet come to the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met him. 31 The Jews who were with her in the house, consoling her, saw Mary get up quickly and go out. They followed her because they thought that she was going to the tomb to weep there. 32 When Mary came where Jesus was and saw him, she knelt at his feet and said to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, he was greatly disturbed in spirit and deeply moved. 34 He said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.” 35 Jesus began to weep. 36 So the Jews said, “See how he loved him!”

Mask Mandate Lifted

Following the guidance of the CDC, the ReEntry Team of Tapestry Church has agreed to lift our mask mandate. You may still continue to wear a mask if that makes you more comfortable, but you are no longer required to do so. Masks are still recommended for those who are unvaccinated and

those working with children.

We thank you for your patience as we have navigated this tumultuous time together and for the ways that you have continued to "love your

neighbor as yourself.”

Coffee & Conversation

Please join us this Sunday, in between church services (10:00- 10:30) for Coffee & Conversation. The Conversation/Discussion will be based on Faith Starter Questions. Coffee will be provided. We hope to see you there!

Staying Connected

Sunday School Resumes April 3rd!

Beginning April 3rd we will be resuming our Sunday School and we are tackling a new activity driven curriculum! This will have activities for in-person and online Tapestry families and cover grades K-5.

Upcoming Children's Events

Volunteers Needed!

If God is calling you to serve, we would love your help! As our church and children’s ministry grow, we need volunteers to help chaperone children’s events and lead curriculum driven activities for our kids during Sunday School (easy-to-follow materials provided). If you are available to share your time and love,

Please sign up HERE.

Each week we will focus on biblical messages and explore how our children can apply those truths in their daily lives. We want to share God’s love through songs, activities, and weekly bible verses our children can memorize to become disciples of Christ.

Currently, our Sunday School volunteers would not be needed for every Sunday and would simply sign up for 2-3 Sundays out of the entire season (April-July), but are welcome to do more if they would like to!

If you are interested but have questions or are interested in learning about the new curriculum, please contact Sarah Smith (sarah@gototapestry.org).

Disciple Summer Mission

Peoples Book Club

The Peoples book club will have its next meeting on Tuesday, March 15th at 6:30 p.m. at Karen Dickerson's home. The book we will be discussing is entitled "The Paris Library" by Janet S. Charles. Here is a synopsis:

Paris, 1939: Young and ambitious Odile Souchet has it all: her handsome police officer beau and a dream job at the American Library in Paris. When the Nazis march into Paris, Odile stands to lose everything she holds dear, including her beloved library. Together with her fellow librarians, Odile joins the Resistance with the best weapons she has: books. But when the war finally ends, instead of freedom, Odile tastes the bitter sting of unspeakable betrayal.

Montana, 1983: Lily is a lonely teenager looking for adventure in small-town Montana. Her interest is piqued by her solitary, elderly neighbor. As Lily uncovers more about her neighbor’s mysterious past, she finds that they share a love of language, the same longings, and the same intense jealousy, never suspecting that a dark secret from the past connects them.

A powerful novel that explores the consequences of our choices and the relationships that make us who we are—family, friends, and favorite authors—The Paris Library shows that extraordinary heroism can sometimes be found in the quietest of places.
