There's room for every story

Matthew 1:1-17

1 An account of the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham. 2 Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers, 3 and Judah the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, and Perez the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Aram, 4 and Aram the father of Aminadab, and Aminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon, 5 and Salmon the father of Boaz by Rahab, and Boaz the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse, 6 and Jesse the father of King David. And David was the father of Solomon by the wife of Uriah, 7 and Solomon the father of Rehoboam, and Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asaph, 8 and Asaph the father of Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah, 9 and Uzziah the father of Jotham, and Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah, 10 and Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, and Manasseh the father of Amos, and Amos the father of Josiah, 11 and Josiah the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the deportation to Babylon. 12 And after the deportation to Babylon: Jechoniah was the father of Salathiel, and Salathiel the father of Zerubbabel, 13 and Zerubbabel the father of Abiud, and Abiud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor, 14 and Azor the father of Zadok, and Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eliud, 15 and Eliud the father of Eleazar, and Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob, 16 and Jacob the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, who bore Jesus, who is called the Messiah. 17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David to the deportation to Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the deportation to Babylon to the Messiah, fourteen generations.

2025 “Extra Mile” Stewardship Campaign

The October stewardship campaign was a tremendous success as we came together to tangibly commit our time and resources for the coming year. Thank you to everyone who has already made a commitment to support our ministries for 2025.

Despite this outpouring of generosity, the financial commitments received to date are $50,000 short of what is needed to fully fund next year’s budget. This budget includes operating costs for The Common Place as well as growth in Tapestry’s ongoing programs and ministries.

We are now asking that everyone consider additional gifts to help us meet this goal, either through a one-time gift or through an additional commitment over the next 12 months. What’s more is that we have multiple anonymous donors who are willing to provide matching funds.

We ask that you prayerfully consider what additional financial commitment you can make and complete the supplemental 2025 pledge card linked below. A print version will also be available at the Welcome Center on Sundays.

As a reminder, please only indicate any additional amount, as your previous commitment for 2025 has already been recorded.

If you would like to talk more specifically about this opportunity, feel free to reach out to Stewardship & Finance committee member Jonathan Purvis at jpurvis1998@gmail.com.

Dear Tapestry Church Family,

Each year at this time we have an opportunity to offer gifts of appreciation to the members of our church staff in the form of Christmas bonuses.

Please offer your gifts over the next few weeks either online or in an envelope for worship marked “Staff Christmas Gifts.” You can also send your gift by mail to the church office prior to December 15th.

Offering these Christmas gifts to staff is a long-standing tradition of ours and I know it means a lot to our staff members. Please join my family in offering these gifts of love and appreciation during this special season.

Thank you so much for your gifts!

Bill Bass, Chair of Tapestry Board

Member Spotlight

We welcome The Moore Family as the newest members of Tapestry Church! They have been worshiping with us for about nine months. When asked what they love most about Tapestry their response was, “We love everyone's authenticity, bold acceptance, and eagerness to love like Jesus.”

WELCOME!

Staying Connected

Thank you to everyone who was involved with Sunday’s Thankfulness Service.

Christmas Angel Tree

Are you looking for a way to help children this holiday season? Our Christmas angel tree can provide you with specific suggestions for families from The Refuge. Each ornament on the tree represents one gift item for a child. The child's age and gender are listed to aid in your purchase decision. Each unwrapped gift should be returned to Tapestry by Sunday, 12/15 and placed near the angel tree. Tape your ornament or number of your ornament to the gift. The reason for being unwrapped is so the adults can wrap it themselves, and the ornament number ensures the correct child receives it!

You can also pick your ornament online by Clicking Here. (The physical ornament will get pulled from the tree at church ASAP). Please fill in the information on the form with your name and phone number. Make sure you write down the ornament number, so you can tape it to the gift. Thank you for your generosity and thoughtfulness in providing a joy-filled Christmas to these families!

If you are not a shopper, and would still like to make sure the children receive their special gifts, your monetary donations can be accepted through the offering boxes, or given to me, Paula Peterson.

Please note that Risen Lord is also collecting Christmas gifts for a separate cause.

Outreach

Special Thanks to Tapestry Outreach volunteers, Amy Massey, Debbie McConnah, Vicki Heidenreich, Diane Johnson and Brenda Rohl, who prepared lunch for The Refuge volunteers on Monday, November 25th.

Thanksgiving Offering

The Thanksgiving Offering benefits the Colleges, Universities, Seminaries, and Divinity Houses affiliated with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Higher education has been an important focus for Disciples since the very beginning of the movement. Throughout our history, Disciples have founded institutions of higher learning to educate students and form leaders to make a difference in the world. The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) is still committed to higher education. Your gift to the Thanksgiving Offering helps support the education of thousands of students at our fifteen colleges and universities as well as our seven seminaries and divinity houses.
