This Sunday at Tapestry we're back in business with worship at New Covenant at 6pm. This will be our next to last meeting at New Covenant, and we'll continue with part 5 of the 6-part series Five Things God Uses To Grow Your Faith. (Just a reminder, moving weekend is September 26-27, and then we get to celebrate God's faithfulness on October 4 at Gold's Gym.)
Speaking of faith, many of you began praying in faith way back in January, or even earlier, that God would provide Tapestry with a Sunday morning meeting place. When nothing seemed to happen for so many months, many of us had our faith tested. What we couldn't see was that God was working behind the scenes on our behalf. But that's why it felt like a test, we couldn't see that God was working. And, of course, that's why it's called faith.
In the meantime, we worked, and we worked hard. We looked far and wide for facilities, we talked to people, we crunched numbers, we were told "no" too many times to count. But we were working, because, after all, meeting places don't just drop into your lap, right?
Until God dropped this one in our lap.
I was actually at the beach when I received a call from Danny Wannall, owner of Gold's Gym. Danny said the he had heard we were looking for a place to meet on Sunday mornings and wanted to verify that, because he was looking for a church that might could use his facilities on Sunday mornings. This is one of those phone calls you never forget.
Between January and August 2009, how many of us lost faith that God would ever provide us with a Sunday morning foyer environment? How many of us are struggling in our faith right now because we can't see God at work in our lives? How many of us would like God to grow our faith BIG?
This Sunday we'll look at yet another way that God grows our faith. Don't miss it!
