Welcome to The Pulse! Please take a minute to check out what's happening in the life of COTA.
|
Please join your church in praying for the following requests for the life and mission of the church:
+ Please pray for all who are sick, lonely, poor, in prison or afraid, that the Lord would speak his love to them, and free them from their suffering, to the glory of his name.
+ Pray also for our Discovering Apostles class this Saturday, that those who attend would be encouraged to hear about God's work in our church, and also that they would become excited about how God would have them go deeper in relationships and in serving him in our church body.
+ Pray for the Lord to make his name known in the country of North Korea, so that many North Koreans would believe, and any plans for violence would be thwarted.

Staff Transitions Updates
Over the past few months, the Leadership Council and Pastors have been discussing our staff structure with regards to Student Ministry. We have decided that we would return to two full time staff - one director and one assistant - with each focusing primarily on discipleship relationships. With that in mind, we have hired Emily Gebbie to a full-time assistant role effective May 30. READ MORE

FROM THE FINANCE DIRECTOR
|
 Praise to the Lord for the $5,651 collected for the Easter Offering to our Benevolence Fund! The Benevolence Ministry provides financial assistance to members of Church of the Apostles and to the community at large. The goal of this work is to bring Christ to the individual. The Benevolence Ministry Team looks at each situation to see how we as the body of Christ can offer help in stabilizing one's situation. Assistance often addresses not only physical needs, but spiritual and emotional, as well.
If you know or your community group are aware of someone in need, please contact Eric Bolash or the church office so that the Benevolence Ministry can prayerfully consider how to best help those in need.
|
 The Men's Ministry is hosting their annual National Day of Prayer gathering on Thursday, May 4th at the church. This is a great community prayer opportunity, all men are welcome. We will gather at 6:30am, commence prayer at 6:45am, and be finished before 8:00am.
