An exploration of the afterlife
What is Heaven?
Revelation 21:1-5a
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. 2 And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “See, the home of God is among mortals. He will dwell with them; they will be his peoples, and God himself will be with them and be their God; 4 he will wipe every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; mourning and crying and pain will be no more, for the first things have passed away.” 5 And the one who was seated on the throne said, “See, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true.”

Staying Connected
The Common Place Workday
This Saturday, 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.
Sunday, November 22nd
Join us as we celebrate Thanksgiving as one gathered community!
Fall Bread Sampling
Starting at 9:30am, come early to enjoy a sampling of delicious fall breads.
Combined Worship
Then, at 10:00 am, all three worship services will join together for one combined service in the Sanctuary.
Annual TCP Meeting
We will have the first annual information meeting for The Common Place congregations following the worship service at 11am.
Ecumenical Dialogue Q&A - 11:15
The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) are engaged in an ongoing dialogue rooted in prayer, theological reflection, and relationship. Together, the churches explore how their distinctive traditions can enrich a common witness to the gospel and strengthen shared mission and ministry. We will have two representatives from the dialogue team present with us in worship who will also share a bit from their ongoing work. Rev. Paul Tche is President of the Christian Unity and Interfaith Ministry of the CC (DOC) and Bill Gafkjen is a Retired Pastor and Bishop Emeritus of the IN-KY Synod, ELCA.
Advent Decorating
Lastly, following the morning’s events, we need volunteers from both congregations to stick around and help us decorate our building for the Advent season. The more folks that stick around, the less time it will take!
We look forward to joining in shared worship and fellowship on Sunday, Nov. 22nd, as we give thanks for our many blessings!
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 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! :)"
