Welcome to The Pulse! Please 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:
+ Please pray for Rev. Patrick and Susan Dominguez as they pray and seek to discern what the Lord has next for them in his Church, that they would know God's care for them and his good guidance for where they should serve him next.
+ Pray for our church's students who have started the next phase of life after high school. Pray that they would build new relationships with Christian peers, find a church home, and personally continue in Christ.
+ As the year begins on university campuses, pray for one of our church's missionaries, Brian Mann, as he equips and directs InterVarsity staff in their outreach to sorority and fraternity students across the country.
After serving faithfully for almost 15 years, our senior pastor, Rev. Patrick Dominguez stepped down from his position in July. We will not be holding a large gathering to celebrate Patrick and Susan, but we do want to celebrate and thank them for their faithfulness to serve the Lord and his church. We plan to create a scrapbook to gather memories and personal notes of thanks for them. We are looking for photos of Patrick and Susan in the life of Apostles ~ the every day and special events. Please submit photos or notes to cotascrapbook@gmail.comby September 15. There will also be a box in the lobby for hard copy photos or notes {note cards available.}
