What Are You Doing Here?

1 Kings 19:1–15a

19 Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword. 2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “So may the gods do to me and more also, if I do not make your life like the life of one of them by this time tomorrow.” 3 Then he was afraid; he got up and fled for his life and came to Beer-sheba, which belongs to Judah; he left his servant there. 4 But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness and came and sat down under a solitary broom tree. He asked that he might die, “It is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life, for I am no better than my ancestors.” 5 Then he lay down under the broom tree and fell asleep. Suddenly an angel touched him and said to him, “Get up and eat.” 6 He looked, and there at his head was a cake baked on hot stones and a jar of water. He ate and drank and lay down again. 7 The angel of the Lord came a second time, touched him, and said, “Get up and eat, or the journey will be too much for you.” 8 He got up and ate and drank; then he went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb the mount of God. 9 At that place he came to a cave and spent the night there. Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” 10 He answered, “I have been very zealous for the Lord, the God of hosts, for the Israelites have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword. I alone am left, and they are seeking my life, to take it away.” 11 He said, “Go out and stand on the mountain before the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.” Now there was a great wind, so strong that it was splitting mountains and breaking rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind, and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake, 12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire, and after the fire a sound of sheer silence. 13 When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. Then there came a voice to him that said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” 14 He answered, “I have been very zealous for the Lord, the God of hosts, for the Israelites have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword. I alone am left, and they are seeking my life, to take it away.” 15 Then the Lord said to him, “Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus; when you arrive, you shall anoint Hazael as king over Aram.

Staying Connected

Thank You Tapestry Church!

Thank you to everyone who donated shoes in May for Changing Footprints. They were very excited to see our donations and said they would be going out to help others soon!! If you still have shoes to donate, please bring them to church and leave them in the donation spot. I will take them! Thank you for your generosity!

Time to Ramp Things Up Tapestry!

Every year our congregation embarks on partnering with the SAWS (Servants At Work) organization to provide a ramp for a needy resident in Johnson County. It is a tremendous experience not only for the recipient, but for all who participate in the build as well. Each year we try to fund a build and then also build one ourselves.

We are hoping that you will join us during the month of June in sending in donations that will help to provide the funds for SAWS to purchase the materials to provide another ramp to a deserving family.

This particular period of time is very important as the need has grown tremendously over the past year.

There are several ways to make your donation:

Use the drop down menu on our Tapestry website and choose “SAWS Fund”2.
Leave a check in the drop box at church with SAWS in the memo.
If cash is your preference, please place your donation in an envelope clearly marked for SAWS Fund.

If you have any questions, please contact Dave Rohl at drohl@perryschools.org

Thanks so much!

Tapestry Personnel Committee

End of May/June greetings from the Tapestry Personnel Committee! We want to let you in on a little project to lift up our dedicated Staff members here at Tapestry and let them know how much they are seen and appreciated in so many ways. Over the summer months look for the display outside of the worship areas.

During weeks throughout the summer, we will be highlighting all of our valued Staff members in "clusters" (look for their photos!) to be up and displayed for a few weeks at a time to give you a chance to add to the display-a Summer Salute to Staff, if you will! We are asking for everyone's input by writing thoughtful descriptive words, adjectives, stories, phrases or notes that help describe that staff member in provided "thought bubbles" to be displayed on a dedicated board of Staff Members. All of the word balloons and clouds from each group will then be compiled at the end of summer to create a Word Cloud of all of the accumulated descriptive words that will represent what our Church Staff means to us as a whole.

Please join in this creative process to show our staff just how much we care about and appreciate them and their work in a myriad of ways for not only our congregation, but also for the wider community and our world.

Direct questions to Vicki Heidenreich at vaheidenreich@gmail.com or Janet Granger at jkgranger53@gmail.com.

Many thanks!
