Beginning Wednesday February 17th 2010, we will be beginning a great study on Nehemiah. It will be a great time for you to discover where you have been and where you are going, as you travel through this study. We are excited to have Ken Hoganson lead this study.
We will begin at 7:00 p.m. with a light supper prior to the study.

Please view our December Schedule of Events
Welcome to Tapestry’s website. If you are here to see what is going on in our community WELCOME !! You have begun in a good place, at a better time. It is Advent Season, and we are welcoming people to join us as we prepare ourselves to celebrate Christ! We are in the midst of inviting community to get to know Him in a deeper way. We want you to know that His love for you is greater than we can speak, and hopefully as you meet us, and our community of Christ followers you will experience some of that love.
This is something I have wanted to do a long time — write for those who are searching, looking, curious as to what a Tapestry is all about, and I have to admit I have been frustrated to not be able to just sit down and share from the heart. I will tell you why. I have wanted to have more together as a community, more people, more program, more to give people who come to us — more in place, more to show. You see, we are a new fellowship, started only a few months back, and we have working on an old building with a few people. We came from another area of the Northside of Chicago, but have begun to find a home in Independence Park an Irving Park. We like it here!!!
The exciting thing is we have an opportunity, (thanks to some loving people who are part of us) to share Christ with all who will be part of us, and hear our stories. God is working in us, just as Jesus came long ago to be Immanuel (“God With US”). Working out our self-centeredness, and working on us to be more loving, kind, caring and giving.
The weaving together of lives in Christ is the Tapestry, and you are invited to join us in our community. It is wherever we are, and we would love to have you a part of us. More than an event, or service or program, we are a people loved by Christ, and a people wanting to let Him have his way in our lives.
Connect with us and see what Christ is doing in our lives together!

White gowns, red sashes, and gentle smiles welcome the beginning of Chicago’s Christmas season, and the beginning of celebrating St. Lucia. For us at Tapestry this would be more than the participating in a Swedish custom, the crowning of the Lucia queen, it would be the start of a welcoming opportunity.
The music was sung in soft melodic Swedish tones, by the young women from Northside and Southside neighborhoods representing Swedish clubs, businesses and restaurants . While the families and business crowd expectantly waited for the Choir from Trinity, having been delayed by car problems and city traffic. A gentle restlessness turned to calm, as the Gospel Carolers rang out distinctively and rhythmically at the Daley Center.
“Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born!” The message was clear, and the gospel simply declared. An opportunity was awaiting us as Christ’s people were being asked to live these words out this Christmas.
Maria Pappas, our Cook County Treasurer joyously welcomed us into a season of celebrating, while the City’s pride for ethnicities – Greek, Italian (since St. Lucia was just that) and the northern Scandinavian countries were well represented in this heartfelt expression.
While Irene, from the Central Committee of Chicago’s Swedish Community named the young women’s names and respective groups they represented, the young women stepped forward waiting for a moment to step into the light.
Emily Johnson, a recent graduate from Biola University and member of the Tapestry Community was pleasantly surprised when she was declared “Miss Santa Lucia 2009″. We are very proud of her accomplishment.
As The Fellowship of Churches in Chicago meet at 5:00 for pizza at Tapestry with an exciting “Spirit of Christmas” led in music by Billy Niemiec our worship and music leader, and John Metsig an outstanding vocal artist from Barrington, we will be celebrating also at St. Lucia’s night at Ebenezer Lutheran Church – a night of lights, candles, warmth and Christ’s message: “Go tell it on the mountain, that Jesus is alive and at work in Chicago, and around the world.
