Join us this Sunday as we begin our new series, Further Up and Further In
An exploration of the afterlife
What happens when we die? What is heaven really like? Is there a literal hell? These are timeless questions that have perplexed humans for generations. Yet, most of us might be shocked to realize that many of our beliefs about the afterlife are more influenced by cultural norms and Hollywood than by scripture.
The title of this series comes from The Last Battle, the final book in C.S. Lewis’s Chronicles of Narnia. Aslan leads the children to True Narnia, the place of which the old Narnia was only a shadow - the place for which they had been longing their whole lives. And Tumnus tells Lucy, “The further up and the further in you go, the bigger everything gets.”
This imagery is central to both the writings of C.S. Lewis and the teachings of Jesus. We invite you to join us for this important series as we seek to explore what the Bible really says about life after death.

What Happens When We Die?
1 Corinthians 15:12-20
12 Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 If there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised; 14 and if Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation has been in vain and your faith has been in vain. 15 We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified of God that he raised Christ—whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised. 16 For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised. 17 If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. 18 Then those also who have died in Christ have perished. 19 If for this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied. 20 But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have died.

2027 Stewardship
Member Spotlight
We welcome Brenna Pruett as the newest members of Tapestry Church!
Brenna has been worshiping with us for a about 5 months. When asked what she loves most about Tapestry her response was, “I love that Tapestry is a place where all are welcome.”
Welcome!
Staying Connected
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.
Please Click Here to complete the interest form.
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.

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! :)"
