James 3:1-12
3 Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers and sisters, for you know that we who teach will face stricter judgment. 2 For all of us make many mistakes. Anyone who makes no mistakes in speaking is mature, able to keep the whole body in check with a bridle. 3 If we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we guide their whole bodies. 4 Or look at ships: though they are so large and are driven by strong winds, yet they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs. 5 So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great exploits. How great a forest is set ablaze by a such a small fire! 6 And the tongue is a fire. The tongue is placed among our members as a world of iniquity; it stains the whole body, sets on fire the cycle of life, and is itself set on fire by hell. 7 For every species of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by the human species, 8 but no one can tame the tongue—a restless evil, full of deadly poison. 9 With it we bless the Lord and Father, and with it we curse people, made in the likeness of God. 10 From the same mouth comes a blessing and a curse. My brothers and sisters, this ought not to be so. 11 Does a spring pour forth from the same opening both fresh and brackish water? 12 Can a fig tree, my brothers and sisters, yield olives or a grapevine figs? No more can salt water yield fresh.

Staying Connected
Tapestry Church Picnic
Sunday, September 22nd, immediately following the combined service at at 10:30am.
Let's welcome the autumn season with a picnic and your favorite fall recipes. The church will provide fried chicken (along with a vegetarian option) and drinks. We are asking that you bring the side dishes and desserts (think all things apple, sweet potato, pumpkin, corn, etc...but, of course, you can bring whatever you would like!). If your last name starts with A-M please bring a side dish and N-Z please bring a dessert.
We will have a few tables set up outdoors, along with a few tables indoors in the narthex, but feel free to bring a picnic blanket or camp chairs too.
Thinking About Joining Tapestry?
Are you a new member or new participant ready to add your thread to the fabric of Tapestry Church? If so, we hope you’ll join us Sunday, September 22nd, at 9:30am at Tapestry church in Room #3 for WEAVE.
WEAVE is a gathering where we’ll talk about where we’ve been, where we are going, and why you already belong. You’ll get a little history and an invitation to get further connected.
Join us!
The After Party Book Study
The After Party book study is a multimedia and practical study that will help folks attempt to understand the political and ideological rifts in their lives and redirect any negative energy. For example, those exhausted by the political landscape will learn that their voices matter and discover ways to engage in politics in hopeful ways. The cynic will learn that hope does not have to be passive; that hope is powerful.
This book is not perfect, nor will it have all the answers. But we will tease out the underlying problems with this book and partisan politics in general as we discuss ways to embody faithful politics together.
Join us for six weeks on Tuesdays at 6:30pm beginning September 24th in Fellowship Hall.
