Announcements:

2/9/25 – Following the 2nd Service, there will be a reception for Dr. Ruth Anne Reese to celebrate the publishing of her newest book on James.  She will give a brief talk on James. Ruth Anne will have copies for purchase ($10.00/ea)

Mandy Sharp has joined the Apostles’ Office as our new Administrative Assistant. She will be in the office Tuesday through Thursday from noon until 4pm. Feel free to pop in and introduce yourself to Mandy.

Discipleship Hour:

2/2/2025 – 9:45am to 10:45 am in the Youth Room

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.
