November is traditionally a time of reflection, a time to give thanks. Last year, around this time, we took our children on a family mission day-trip downtown. We started at the local Dollar Store. We bought lots of toiletry supplies, as well non-perishable foods. We set up an assembly line in the kitchen and stuffed plastic grocery store bags with various supplies for the homeless. Then,…
Greetings Everyone, Fall seems to have arrived as the temperature outside is in the high 60°s and the nights are cooling down. Fall, my favorite time of year, a time of plants showing their beautiful autumn colors, blue skies and an occasional dusting of white upon the distant mountaintops. The garden is still producing its fruit, and I don’t worry anymore about weeds. Fall, a…
Pat’s article A Covenant Prayer in the Wesleyan Tradition I am no longer my own, but thine. Put me to what thou wilt, rank me with whom thou wilt. Put me to doing, put me to suffering. Let me be employed by thee or laid aside for thee, exalted for thee or brought low for thee. Let me be full, let me…
This time of year is always filled with new things. Students go back to school. Families shift gears and begin to look forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Being a parent can be hard work! Parenting has been the most amazing adventure I have ever taken on. Some days, I find that I am an amazing mom with all the patience and the love in the world. And then there are many days where I find that I am short on patience, short on love, short on energy, short on, well you…
Hello Everyone! Great things are going on at Tapestry as we move forward. But first let’s look back. We had a wonderful first worship service back at the end of August. Over 100 people were there to celebrate with us and worship God for the new things he is doing. Our District Superintendent, Melanie Rosa, was also there with us that day…

The season of back-to-school is in full swing! Parents, teachers, staff, and even kids are gearing up for a new school year. It is the season of starting fresh with new hopes and dreams. The same is also true for our church. The Little Blessings preschool is back in swing with a full scale operation at the church and now a new extension location off…
I love new beginnings, and it seems that fall is full of them. Today my boys started school. Matthew started 3rd grade and Jackson started Kindergarten. While other moms in Jackson’s class were having a hard time dealing with their kindergartener going to school for the first time, I was so happy for him. He is going to have so many amazing moments, meet so many…
Greetings Everyone, As we move into the fall months with back to school activities, business schedules filling up, warm days and cooling evenings, there is still time to enjoy what is left of our quickly vanishing summer. Sometimes we get so busy, we don’t take time to just enjoy the sunlight filtering through the leafy trees, the cooling breeze as we spend time…
As many of you know, we have been looking at ways to expand Little Blessings. For 5 years, our preschool has been expanding at about 10% per year, and we have had with that a continued wait list. It truly is an amazing ministry within our walls to so many children and families! We wanted to be good stewards of all that…
