James 2:1-17
2 My brothers and sisters, do not claim the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory while showing partiality. 2 For if a person with gold rings and in fine clothes comes into your assembly, and if a poor person in dirty clothes also comes in, 3 and if you take notice of the one wearing the fine clothes and say, “Have a seat here in a good place, please,” while to the one who is poor you say, “Stand there,” or, “Sit by my footstool,” 4 have you not made distinctions among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts? 5 Listen, my beloved brothers and sisters. Has not God chosen the poor in the world to be rich in faith and to be heirs of the kingdom that he has promised to those who love him? 6 But you have dishonored the poor person. Is it not the rich who oppress you? Is it not they who drag you into the courts? 7 Is it not they who blaspheme the excellent name that was invoked over you? 8 If you really fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well. 9 But if you show partiality, you commit sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors. 10 For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become accountable for all of it. 11 For the one who said, “You shall not commit adultery,” also said, “You shall not murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery but you murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. 12 So speak and so act as those who are to be judged by the law of liberty. 13 For judgment will be without mercy to anyone who has shown no mercy; mercy triumphs over judgment. 14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but does not have works? Surely that faith cannot save, can it? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and lacks daily food 16 and one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and eat your fill,” and yet you do not supply their bodily needs, what is the good of that? 17 So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.

Joint Ownership Team - September Update
Joint Ownership Team Update - September 2024
The members of the Joint Ownership Team, composed of equal members from both Tapestry and Risen Lord, have been meeting together regularly and working toward a shared agreement for our future life together.
A summary and overview of our plan can be found here.
While the official legal documentation and our guiding covenant are still in process, the Board unanimously approved the resolution for Tapestry to purchase a fifty percent ownership stake in the Risen Lord property on Monday, August 19, 2024.
We will be seeking congregational approval for this decision on Sunday, September 29th, at 10:30am, in the Fellowship Hall, in a called meeting.
Prior to that, we are providing several opportunities for you to learn more about this exciting new partnership.
There will be two Tapestry only information sessions:
- Sunday, September 8th, at 10:30am, in the Fellowship Hall
- Tuesday, September 10th, at 7pm on Zoom
There will be three joint Q&A sessions, led by Bill Bass (Tapestry Board Chair) and Dayna Zook (Risen Lord Leadership Team President):
- Sunday, September 15th, at 9am in Room 3
- Sunday, September 15th, at 10:30am in Room 3
- Tuesday September 17th at 11:15am in Room 3
We hope that you will join us to learn more and find answers to any questions you may have.
Blessings,
Tapestry JOT Members: Bill Bass, Karen Dickerson, and Cory Glover
