Announcements:

Just a reminder that Apostles’ activities and groups will not meet when Fayette County Public Schools are closed for bad weather. The Office will be open as long as the roads are passable. If we are unable to get to the office, Pam and Fr. Pete are always available via email or phone.

Effective January 1, Fr. Pete Matthews is now our Interim Rector. He may be reached via email; pete@apolstleslex.com or 859-227-9728. As always, Pam is available as usual.

We want to welcome, Fr. Pete’s wife, Trudi Matthews to Apostle’s. She is a welcome addition to our family.

To help Fr. Pete get to know who we are, we are going back to name tags. Please fill on out so Pete can greet us easily.

Discipleship Hour:

1/19/2025 – 9:45am to 10:45 am

T.S. Eliot’s Four Quartets will be led by Don Sizemore

James Finley will be our guide through his podcast Turning to the Mystics. Go to https://cac.org/podcast/turning-to-the-mystics/. There is PDF of each podcast if you prefer reading to listening.

Poetry slows us down, gets us out of our head, and opens us to contemplative experience. T.S. Eliot was a devout Anglican, and he has a memorial stone in Poet’s Corner at Westminster Abbey.

Children’s Discipleship Hour:

During Discipleship Hour this season, we will be having a Children’s Choir for ages 4 through 5th grade. One purpose of our time together will be to practice the songs that we sing as we close worship each week in order to help the kids participate more fully. In addition, we hope to be able to learn songs to occasionally sing during the main service for the congregation, much like we’ve done during Lessons & Carols. We will also have a small snack each week before we transition into Children’s Chapel.

We will have nursery for children 3 and younger. Parents may also choose this option for any preschool-aged child if they feel that it would be more developmentally appropriate than participating in the Children’s Choir program.

Help Wanted:

We are looking for a part-time Administrative Assistant position, in the office. If you know of anyone that is looking for a part-time position, and has MSN Suite experience, please contact either Pam or one of the Vestry members.
