PRAY WITHOUT CEASING
Please join your church in praying for the following requests for the life and mission of the church:
 
+ Please pray for the women who attended our Women's Retreat last weekend, that the Lord would remind them of his perfect love, which casts out fear.

+ Please pray for our continued search for a Church Planter in Residence, that the Lord would lead us to the person he has set apart for reaching new areas of our city with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

+ Pray for each member of our church, that we would fast and wait for the Lord in the season of Lent, remembering that we are his Forgiven Daughters and Forgiven Sons.

THIS SUNDAY @ APOSTLES

March 5, 2017 Bulletin

Scripture: 1 John 1:1-2:6 | John 1:1-5
Message:  I Like The Way You Walk  Rev. Patrick Dominguez

WHAT'S HAPPENING AT APOSTLES


The English word Compline is derived from the Latin completorium, as Compline is the completion of the working day.

Please join on Wednesday nights beginning March 8 for Compline services during the season of Lent.   These evening services begin at 8:45pm and will last about 20 minutes.

Does your hobby or profession include any of the following? basket making, ceramics, drawing, glassblowing, graphic design, hand-lettering & calligraphy, leather crafting, metalsmithing, painting, photography, poster design, pottery, textile arts (appliqué, crocheting, knitting, quilting, sewing), sculpture, stained glass, woodworking?

In his book, Don't Waste Your Life, John Piper said "If you are God, your work is to create out of  nothing. If you are not God, but like God-that is, if you are human-your work is to take what God has made and shape it and use it to make Him look great." What better way to bring glory to the Lord than to offer Him the creative gifts he has bestowed upon us! To find out more please join us!
