Sunday, May 3rd - Scripture
Genesis 2:1-3
2 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all their multitude. 2 And on the seventh day God finished the work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all the work that he had done. 3 So God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, because on it God rested from all the work that he had done in creation.
Exodus 20:8-11
8 Remember the sabbath day, and keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work. 10 But the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God; you shall not do any work—you, your son or your daughter, your male or female slave, your livestock, or the alien resident in your towns. 11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but rested the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day and consecrated it.
Staying Connected
Donations for The Refuge
The Refuge is continuing to see lots of cars in their drive-through food pantry line during these difficult times. Tapestry Church has a plan to help. We must emphasize, however, that we want no one to put themselves at risk or compromise their own food supply. If you are willing & able to help, we will be collecting Peanut Butter, Canned Fruit, Boxed Macaroni & Cheese, & Peanut Butter Crackers. If you have these items to donate or have questions, contact Brenda Rohl (317 847-3824) and we will arrange a “porch pick up” and get your items to The Refuge.

Thank You Tapestry Congregation!
Prayerground Manager Needed
We invited children of all ages to engage in our Worship. Many younger children use our Prayerground area. We are looking for an individual to bleach wipe our toys, rotate new toys in and out, and to occasionally wash the quilt. No committees, no meetings— just serving Tapestry’s children.
Contact Paula Ream if this is a way you can serve Tapestry Church.

How long have you been a part of the Tapestry Community?
My whole life, almost 32 years.
Why is Tapestry important to you?
It is a place where I feel at home. It is a place that has raised me and given me so many wonderful opportunities to build, lead, learn, love, and has been a rock for my family to lean on. What other place would let you build buildings, teach you plumbing, plant trees, sing, play, play music, give you the best friends you could ever ask for, and ask for nothing in return but continue to exude love no matter the circumstances you find yourself.
Everyone has unique life experiences, what is something (or a few things) that your Tapestry family may not know about you?
I once felt a call to ministry but after confiding in a few individuals at a regional youth event and them subsequently gathering a large group of people to celebrate that, against my wishes, since I was still figuring out what it meant for me, it was clear to me that my call had passed and was not in the cards for me. It was very hard for me to come to terms with that and I think it informs my faith to this day. I choose to live my faith rather than talk much about it, I think this experience taught me that speaking about my faith is not what I'm called to do but acting on it.
Do you have any special skills/talents/passions?
I love to make things and take things apart to try to fix them, not that I'm good at any of those things. I am extremely competitive so much so that my wife and I tend to always have some type of competition going at all times.
I think my biggest passion in my life right now, outside of my family and making sure that they are loved, is brewing and understanding beer. I think my engineering brain loves to figure out what goes together and what processes to use to create something that I can enjoy and share with my friends. It is both an art and a science/math project.
My wife and I love to travel, most years we embark on at least one road trip and many trips around the US to be with people we love. We also love spending a week each year overseas, exploring new places, and learning the history and culture of the places we visit. This year we are going to Slovenia and staying in Hostels which is new for both of us, one of which is a former Communist prison that has turned each cell into a work of art and sleeping quarters. I think learning the history and meeting people in THEIR place(s) is one of the most influential and important things one can do for oneself.
What is your favorite Bible verse/quote/poem/saying?
My favorite bible verse is the one that informs my every action and the theme is found throughout the Bible and in many other religious texts across all beliefs. It is found in the Gospel of Matthew Chapter 7 Verse 12, commonly known as the Golden Rule. Not only is it a way to live but it is a connection to all people, religions, and beliefs. "Do to others what you want them to do to you. This is the meaning of the law of Moses and the teaching of the prophets.”

A Note from Jake Roberts, Tapestry Church Treasurer
I’m happy to let you know that so far this year, Tapestry Church continues to be on firm ground financially. Overall giving is below budget – a victim mostly of our separation – but so are expenses. Your gifts have been enough to cover salaries and to pay other bills.
A big reason for this is that those of you who are able to do so have continued your monetary support. Plus, some of you, recognizing there are those in our congregation who have been hit hard financially by the coronavirus crisis, have increased your giving. Some have even stepped up and advance-donated pledges, knowing that support is needed right now.
Thank you to all. I continue to be amazed and humbled by the grit and resiliency of Tapestry Church!
Jake Roberts
Treasurer
Prayer Requests
In an effort to keep track and report all prayer concerns, all requests received before 5 pm on Thursdays will be added to the prayer list in the weekly e-newsletter that is sent out on Friday afternoons. This list will also be published in the private Tapestry Facebook Group. Any requests received after 5 pm on Thursdays will be added in the comment section of the Facebook post and will go on the list for the following week’s e-newsletter. We will no longer be sending out separate prayer emails. Individual emails WILL be sent out for death and funeral announcements. We as staff feel this is the best way to manage and maintain these requests. Thank you for your understanding.
Announcements for the e-newsletter must still be submitted by noon on Wednesdays. You can submit an announcement HERE. Thank You.
