Give Generously
Matthew 6:22-24
22 “The eye is the lamp of the body. So if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, 23 but if your eye is unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If, then, the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness! 24 “No one can serve two masters, for a slave will either hate the one and love the other or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.

Commitment Sunday - October 25th
Staying Connected
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 this Sunday, October 25th, at 10:30am 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. We will also touch on the Identity Statement of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and what it means to be "a movement of wholeness in a fragmented world."

Join the Fun
Fall Fest is a wonderful chance to enjoy time with your church family, welcome new friends, and celebrate the season together. Invite your neighbors and friends, and plan to bring a smile.
New Ministry Initiative - Year 2
“It was a great opportunity to talk about my church…and the philosophical differences in her church growing up versus ours.”
“It helped me get to know someone that I don’t have much time to talk to after services. It was great to learn so much about her and feel connected on a deeper level.”
These are just two of the many positive comments made by people who used the Tapestry Pacers tickets last season. Some chose to get to know a fellow Tapestry person better and others chose to bring someone who might be interested in Tapestry. But everyone had a great time!
Requests are now being accepted for use of our two tickets to select Indiana Pacers games throughout the 26-27 season.

The Common Place Workday
November 7, 9:00am – 1:00pm
Calling all workers!
As you may have noticed recently, the playground fence is in great disrepair. So, we will be coming together as The Common Place to help remedy that.
We will spend the morning removing and replacing the pea gravel retaining boards inside the perimeter of the playground fence.
We will have a few stations set up to make the work flow smoothly. Whether you are a skilled craftsman or more of a grunt laborer, we will have work for you.
Please bring any applicable tools such as a cordless drill, chop saw, sawhorses, shovel, and rake. And don’t forget your work gloves and safety glasses!
NEEDED – if anyone has a small trailer and/or a place to dump the old rotten boards, please let us know!
Questions can be directed to cory@gototapestry.org.
October Outreach
Changing Footprints
Bring any shoes (new or used) for donation. Bins are located near the outside doors. New socks for 5 yo - 18 yo. Nothing like a new pair of socks to go with their shoes! (They have a shoe giveaway in November, and socks are badly needed.)
Volunteer your time at Changing Footprints, every Saturday in October from 9:30 - 11:30 they would love your help! 7154 McFarland Road, Indianapolis 46227

The People's Book Club
We are experiencing our first change of venue due to overlap of events at church. Our meeting on November 17th was to be at church but is now moved to Linda Darr's home. Please email Linda to get her address. (lldarr191@gmail.com)
We will be discussing a David Baldacci book entitled "Strangers In Time". A novel set in 1940s London about a bereaved bookshop owner and two teenagers scarred by the Second World War, and the healing and hope they find in one another.
We hope to see you on Tuesday, November 17th at 6:30 pm at Linda Darr's home to discuss this World War II novel and enjoy some delicious refreshments. Please invite someone you think might enjoy this book!

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! :)"
