The Day Hope Spoke
Luke 4:14-20
14 Then Jesus, in the power of the Spirit, returned to Galilee, and a report about him spread through all the surrounding region. 15 He began to teach in their synagogues and was praised by everyone. 16 When he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, he went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day, as was his custom. He stood up to read, 17 and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written: 18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free those who are oppressed, 19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” 20 And he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him.

Tapestry Church.
Woven Worship 9:15

Church Picnic this Sunday, September 7th following Traditional Service
We look forward to gathering together for our Annual Church Picnic for a time of fellowship and celebrating the conclusion of our time of sabbatical. To help welcome Cory back from his sabbatical we will be enjoying his favorite food-tacos. The church will provide a taco bar and drinks, but we need your help in bringing salad, fruit or a dessert. If your last name starts with A-M please bring a salad or fruit, and N-Z please bring a dessert. Feel free to bring the item the morning of September 7th and we will get it set out for the picnic.
Since we will be having both services that day, we will be offering some Outreach projects to work on for those who want to hang around for the picnic after Woven. This is a great opportunity to support some local ministries by assembling bags and stuffing pillows.
Unconditional
Preparing 100 bags with goodies This service project helps women in the adult entertainment industry by providing opportunities for safe community and increased stability towards a thriving future.
Book Pillows of Hope
Stuffing 100 pillows (no sewing) This service project sews pillows that carry a book in them that share hope. The book pillows promote literacy and are distributed to children, usually infants through 5th graders, who are facing difficult situations.
One more thing, we will have a few tables/chairs set up outdoors but encourage you to bring picnic blankets or lawn chairs, and your favorite yard game. We will have corn hole and a few other games for all to enjoy.
Staying Connected
Indians’ Game
The Indianapolis Indians’ Game is rescheduled for Friday, September 12th. Tickets are $15 for box seats or $9.00 for lawn, if we meet the group minimum of 25 tickets. Please let Linda Speziale know before September 5th by call or text 317-965-6317.
Cheers for Chair Yoga!
We are blessed to have Barb Thompson, a certified yoga instructor, leading a chair yoga class on Wednesdays from 6:00-7:00 pm at church in Fellowship Hall.
Oversight approved the purchase of 20 yoga chairs. These chairs look like card table chairs, but they aren’t. They are currently stored under the coat rack in Fellowship Hall. We are excited to receive these specific chairs, and if they are used please return them to their storage spot!
Look for more details to come of another yoga class that Barb will soon be offering!
Outreach Opportunities for September
Sep-TIME-ber is a month filled with opportunities to volunteer your time! Some of the needs include: sorting shoes, setting up chairs, cleaning up after an event, directing traffic and being a supporting presence for those that feel unseen.
If you would prefer a hard copy to sign up on, please stop by the sign-in table on Sunday morning. This may be the nudge you need to check out one of our agencies we support with our monthly donations! Thank you in advance, for your support. Linda Speziale and Paula Peterson co-chairs of Outreach
M&Ms
M&Ms (Mary & Martha) Women Fellowship will meet on September 9th at 11AM. This year’s Bible study will be on the book “Messy People: Life Lessons from Imperfect Biblical Heroes" by Jennifer Cowart. Our first Biblical person is Rahab (Joshua 2:6). During the lesson we will watch a short video about the person. A study book is available for $10.00. Please join us.

Coming This Fall
Join us as we explore the relentless compassion, mercy, and love God has for all people through the eyes of the reluctant prophet, Jonah. In this little book, we find key elements of the gospel - grace, forgiveness, and mercy.
Let’s go beyond the whale, to find what Jonah’s story tells us about God, ourselves, and even how to think about others we might consider our enemies.
