Welcome to The Pulse! Please take a minute to check out what's happening at Church of the Apostles.
PRAY WITHOUT CEASING
Please join your church in praying for the following requests for the life and mission of the church:
+ "Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever." {Psalm 136:1}
+ Pray for our mission partner, The Encouraging Place, as they set up the Pride For Parents Christmas Store, allowing parents to purchase affordable Christmas gifts for their children. Pray that these families will see the love of Christ as they come to the store.
+ Pray for our church during the season of Advent, that we would prepare room in our hearts for Jesus to take up residence and transform us more into his likeness.
Abiding Prayer is a wonderful time to rest in the Lord and receive from Him. We are called to minister out of the overflow ... have you filled your lamp with oil? Jesus is faithful to meet us!
We invite any who would like to assist in decorating the church for Christmas to join us on Saturday, December 1 between 9:00am and 12:30pm. This is a fun, easy way to serve and fellowship where no previous experience is required. The simple instructions and supplies are ready when you arrive, and help as long as you have time.
Please bring a new, unwrapped toy or article of clothing for the
Pride for Parents Christmas Store. Pride for Parents is a ministry that provides new items for local low-income families to purchase at reduced costs. There will be a drop off area in the lobby. Items will be collected through
December 9th. Volunteers are needed in the Pride for
Parents Store! VOLUNTEER SIGN UP
Suggested Items: toys all size bikes and scooters w/helmets games
education items
new clothes {infants to teen}
FINANCIAL UPDATE
Unlike many churches and ministry organizations, Church of the Apostles has never operated its general budget based on pledges. The $1,695,050 operating budget established for this year is based on prayer, guidance from historical experience, and the wisdom of our
Finance Team and Leadership Council. Praise God for the wisdom He gives our leadership and for members who continue to give sacrificially and consistently.
WOMEN'S MINISTRY
Please bring a goodie you'd like to donate, labeling the contents. All baked goods can be dropped of the day of the sale.
Buy a goodie: The bake sale will be open after both the 8:30 and 11:00 services. Consider grabbing a treat for a friend, neighbor or Christmas gift! Proceeds will go toward scholarships for the Women's Retreat in March.
