Weaving Our Stories invites us to tell stories and listen deeply to one another. Each of the five Tapestry Threads will host a series of three Zooms to explore participant experiences about the focus Thread. The first of the three Zooms is a kick off night. The final two Zooms of each Thread’s series will dig deeper. \nTapestry’s aim is to have meaningful dialogue and learn from each other’s lives. Members of each of the focus communities\, allies\, and those seeking to learn and understand more are all invited to each of the series. It’s okay to not have all the answers and to ask vulnerable questions. Let’s weave our threads together into God’s diverse tapestry. \nThe first series will be hosted by the Racial Justice Thread Co-Leaders: Pastor Harry Griffith\, Maurice Gallimore\, and Pastor Paul Pingel. The dates are: Mondays\, January 12\, January 26\, February 9 at 7pm. \nParticipants do not have to attend all of the Zooms. There will be separate sign ups for each of the series. Participants can choose to attend all three Zooms in a Thread series or just the first one. \nIndividuals or congregational groups can sign up. Individuals will be grouped with others in breakout rooms for discussion. If requested\, congregational groups can be assigned their own breakout room. \nThe sessions will begin at 7pm and wrap-up by 8:15pm. The sessions will not be recorded. However\, the discussion guides will be shared as a resource for congregational or individual use. \nThis form is for the first series on Racial Justice. \nRegistration closes on January 8. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Power in the Spirit
DESCRIPTION:“Those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.” (Isaiah 40:31 NRSVUE) \nWhen we are tired or weary and feel like fainting\, God promises to revive us and to raise us up – with strength like that of an eagle’s wings. This hope in God is sure and true because “The Lord is the everlasting God\, the creator of the ends of the earth – who doesn’t grow tired or weary.” (Isaiah 40.28) All of creation – the waters of the earth\, the night sky filled with stars\, the dust of the earth\, the mountains and hills – all creation reflects God’s glory (Isaiah 40.12\, 26). In God’s great love and compassion for humanity\, God gathers us all in loving arms\, lifting us up onto God’s lap (Isaiah 40.11). Who can compare with God!?!\nIn Isaiah 40\, the prophet Isaiah shares a word of hope and promise with God’s people who are living in exile. They were strangers in a strange land\, perhaps forgetting the steadfast promises of God to be their God – always! Like God’s people of old\, we too sometimes forget God’s abiding promise to be with us in Christ Jesus – always! God is our hope – always! \nCome join Maryn Olson\, Director of Lutheran Disaster Response for the ELCA\, as the keynote speaker\, Rev. Bobby Morris\, Pastor of St. Matthew’s in Pomaria\, South Carolina\, as our Bible study leader\, and Michael Benshish\, our music leader. \nCome and learn! Come for fellowship! Come to serve your neighbor!  \nCome to Power in the Spirit 2025! \nFor more information or to register go to: https://vasynod.org/power-in-the-spirit/

SUMMARY:Not Too Late Book Study
DESCRIPTION:Not Too Late Book Study \nCare for Creation Tapestry Thread \nWednesdays\, October 9\, 16\, 23  \n7pm – Zoom  \n  \nYou’re invited to join the Care for Creation Tapestry Thread in reading Not Too Late: Changing the Climate Story from Despair to Possibility this October. The book strikes a balance between defeatism and overconfidence\, written about by folks who genuinely want us to better know what we are talking about when we talk about climate change. This study will deepen participants’ understanding of climate change.  \nClimate is an issue that touches everything. Its study involves history\, culture\, economics\, law and justice issues\, race and gender politics\, and so many branches of science. There are so many facets to look at\, from the state of the climate movement\, the shift to renewable energy\, and the policy issues being decided at every level of government. This book touches on many of the topics in timely fashion with information that we need now\, especially heading into the voting booths this November. \nJoin us in reading the material and come with questions of your own!  The discussion sessions will be recorded\, but will not be immediately ready for review the next week. The moderators will be Dr. William Franz and Sr. Phyllis Cox\, Care for Creation Tapestry Thread Co-Leaders. Participants are responsible for purchasing their own book. \n  \nRegistration will close on September 26 at 12noon. \n  \nRegister here.
