Tapestry (Adoption Ministry)

...No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him.
- I Cor. 2:9 (NIV)

Tapestry, Watermark's adoption ministry, serves families that have been touched by the miracle of adoption. Our heart is to connect and encourage anyone who has adopted, is in the process of adopting or is interested in knowing more about adoption. Tapestry also serves as a resource for those at Watermark and throughout the community who are interested in knowing more about adoption.

Girl's Night Out
Calling all moms, moms-to-be & women considering adoption/foster care. Leave the kids at home and head to the Watermark Community Church Coffee Bar at 7:30 p.m. on the first Thursday of each month. Girl's night out is a special time to share, laugh, encourage and unplug. If you have any questions or would like more information contact Missy Leventhal.

Families Woven Together by Love through the Miracle of Adoption
This ministry provides a forum for families with adopted children to come together and connect with other families and to discuss and share the unique joys, challenges, questions and fears that they face as well as the common life experiences that all families encounter. You can read one family's story of their adoption journey and the opportunities they see in store for Tapestry.

How Can We Help You?
Tapestry also provides a setting for those seeking more information about adoption as well as various opportunities for those who are completely unfamiliar with adoption to see 'what adoption looks like' in all of its varied expressions. We are committed to providing relevant and helpful resources to those at Watermark and throughout the community who have questions about adoption. In fact, we have prepared a brief adoption resource guide covering a variety of adoption-related topics to help get you started.

Woven Together by Grace into The Tapestry Of God's Family
Scripture repeatedly refers to those who have believed in Christ as children of God. As such, our adoption experiences give us a wonderful perspective concerning those who have received God's saving grace through faith in Christ - we are all adopted! We are woven together by grace into the 'tapestry' of His family. Sharing this spiritual aspect of adoption is an integral part of Tapestry's ministry. The ministry also seeks to help the church better understand and more effectively serve adoptive families and their unique needs. If we at Watermark can help you deepen your understanding of who Christ is or help you progress in your ability to respond rightly to Him, please contact us.

Questions? Need More Information?
Please know that there are no dumb questions when it comes to adoption. The answers to adoption questions are seldom obvious and good information can often be very difficult to find. Therefore, we would love to talk with you further about any adoption-related questions or issues that you might have. So whether you have questions about Tapestry or adoption in general, please do not hesitate to contact David & Missy Leventhal.
