Celebration TapestryCelebration TapestryCelebration TapestryCelebration Tapestry What is a Tapestry?
A tapestry is a collection of different pieces of cloth, sewn together to tell a story.
Our Celebration Tapestry is going to be a beautiful representation of each of our
stories, told by pieces of cloth, chosen by each of us.
When it is finished, we hope to have a piece of cloth with an accompanying story
from each of our members. This is how you record history.
This is how you tell future generations your story—as part of a loving church family. We ask each of you to bring a
piece of cloth that is special to you, attach the story of the cloth piece and why it is
important to you. BUT, time is running out! The deadline for
cloth submissions is on Easter SundayEaster SundayEaster SundayEaster Sunday! If you haven’t already done so, please
bring your fabric/cloth as soon as possible. We can’t wait to see our wonderful
tapestry once it is completed!
