Exciting Events Coming Soon!

Friends, there's a lot of new and exciting things coming to APC this Fall! 

Before we jump into the new things, I want to lift up an unfortunate circumstance. After much prayer and discernment, it is with a heavy heart that we announce the cancellation of Sunday School for this upcoming year. We've noticed a sharp decline in attendance to our Adult Sunday School and a non-existent Children's Sunday School. This is not the "death," but simply a pause. We're going to take this year and re-calibrate our Sunday School programs with the aim of restarting afresh next Fall. 

Starting in August, we're going to bring back the Prayer Fellowship! We'll meet every Second and Fourth Wednesdays of the month and we'll gather at 9:30 AM in the pastor's study. If you need prayer or want to pray for others, please stop on by! Our first gathering will be August 9th. 

Also restarting in August will be our regular Youth Group meetings. The Youth Group will consist of kids in both Middle and High School. We'll meet on the Second and Fourth Sundays of the month. Meeting times to be announced. Pastor Ed will lead the study aspect of the meeting and our Adult Volunteer will assist. The Youth will experience biblical learning and enjoy fellowship in the form of a meal and various games. All Youth and their parents are invited to join us for our first meeting of the season, which will be a pool party and cookout at the Janiak farm on August 13th at 4:00 PM. 

Starting in September, we're going to introduce a new Coffee Hour before worship. When the Apostles gathered in house churches on Sunday mornings, the meeting almost always included a meal. Part of APC's ministry is to continue this fellowship of the Church. Therefore, the Session has decided to host a Coffee Hour on the Fourth Sunday of the month. This will take place in the Fellowship Hall at 9:00 Am. There will be coffee, tea, pastries, and other beverages and lite snacks. Please bring a friend to the inaugural Coffee Hour on September 24th and the subsequent worship at 10:00 AM.

Also starting in September will be two new Bible Study opportunities. Pastor Ed will lead class with a mixture of lecture and group discussion. The two Bible studies will be identical in content but differ in time. On the First and Third Tuesdays of every month, Pastor Ed will lead an evening Bible study at 6:30 PM. If you are working during the day or if you're a evening person, this Bible study is for you! This meeting will be B.Y.O.D.: Bring Your Own Dinner. Stop by McDonald's or bring leftovers, and join us in the class room. On the First and Third Thursdays of every month, Pastor Ed will lead a morning Bible study at 10:00 AM. If you're free during the day or don't like to drive at night (especially in winter), then this Bible study is for you! This meeting will be the same lesson taught at the evening Study, so don't worry about missing anything. Bring a friend as we all dive into the wonderful world of Scripture! The initial classes will start September 5th at 6:30 PM and September 7th at 10:00 A.M.
