Discovering the Universal Christ
Christ in the Marginalized
Matthew 25:31-46
31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory and all the angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, 33 and he will put the sheep at his right hand and the goats at the left. 34 Then the king will say to those at his right hand, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world, 35 for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.’ 37 Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food or thirsty and gave you something to drink? 38 And when was it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you or naked and gave you clothing? 39 And when was it that we saw you sick or in prison and visited you?’ 40 And the king will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did it to me.’ 41 Then he will say to those at his left hand, ‘You who are accursed, depart from me into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels, 42 for I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not give me clothing, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ 44 Then they also will answer, ‘Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and did not take care of you?’ 45 Then he will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ 46 And these will go away into eternal punishment but the righteous into eternal life.”

Dear Tapestry Church: A Heartfelt Thanks
I am sincerely grateful for the recognition of my eleven years as Director of Music at Southport Christian/Tapestry Church. I deeply appreciate the kind words, cards, and gifts you gave to me on my final Sunday May 17th, 2026. Thank you for the memorable send-off. May you find strength and inspiration in each other as you continue to walk in faith. May God bless you and your church community.

Summer 2026 – Soapbox Sermons
For our summer series this year, we will once again be hearing from a multitude of voices – this time from within our congregation!
Soapboxes were raised platforms, usually wooden crates used for shipments of soap, where orators would offer impromptu speeches. Today, the phrase is synonymous with public speaking about an important subject , often with the intention of “selling” an idea.
Do you have a story that needs to be told or a burning desire to share something meaningful to you?
If so, we invite you to consider offering a soapbox sermon this summer. Pastors Cory and Ryan will be on hand to assist you in your sermon crafting, if desired.
Please Click Here to be considered for this unique opportunity!
*Note, not all submissions will be approved.

Starting this month, we are pleased to announce that Leorah will be joining our church staff as a Social Media Manager. She will be giving us a few hours each month to create content on our church’s (previously inactive) Instagram account in hopes of sharing Tapestry’s inclusive message with new people online.
If you’re on Instagram, give our page (https://www.instagram.com/gototapestry) a follow, and be sure to like and share upcoming content.
And make sure to give a warm welcome to Leorah when you see her at church!
Here is what she had to say about Tapestry:
“I have been attending Tapestry church for about a year and a half now. Walking in, I immediately was welcomed, and I felt at home. That was the moment where I knew I found my new church, and that's my favorite thing about this place! I am also a student at the University of Indianapolis studying Psychology and Sociology. I am excited to take on a position as the social media manager here at Tapestry! If you see me walking around with a camera or a microphone...don't be alarmed, it's for this purpose. I'm looking forward to getting to know more members through this opportunity! :)"
