Dear Church of the Apostles,

This Sunday at 10am we will hold our first service in our new worship snd ministry space at 2385 Park Avenue, Bridgeport. All of the big improvement projects will be completed by our first day with small tasks continuing in the weeks to come. Many of us have been working in the building and it is starting to feel like home. 

Let’s be on our hospitality game for the next few months. If you see an unfamiliar face, greet them, get their story, invite them back. If for some reason our new sanctuary is full for worship (and we hope it is), give up your seat for someone else if you are physically able. 

Arrive on time and sit toward the front leaving seats in the back for our visitors. 

If you are serving on one of our volunteer teams this Sunday please arrive at 9:20am (or earlier if necessary), so we can show you around and be ready to welcome guests and parishioners. We’ll have coffee!

Weather permitting we will gather in the front courtyard this Sunday at 10am and process into our new sanctuary together. We’ll have some coffee out as you arrive, so come a little early and enjoy some pre-service fellowship before our community procession.

A few more things to consider for this Sunday:

We will have a few tables and chairs outside for our Move-in Party, but please bring a lawn chair if you have one. 

There is plenty of parking including handicap parking. Everything will be clearly signed, and we will have a greeter in the parking lot to answer any questions. 

It looks as if the playground will not be ready to use this Sunday as we continue to work to make it safe and secure for our kids. We hope that it will be ready in the next couple of weeks, so we can play before the weather gets too cold. Although the gates will be locked, please keep little ones from working their way inside. 

I am looking forward to this Sunday! Plan to join us and invite some friends to come along.

Peace and Hope,

Brian+
