Dear Church of the Apostles,

This Sunday we will be celebrating the Sacrament of Baptism during the morning service. Jakob Wittwer will be presented by his parents, Ben and Lindsay Wittwer. If this last name sounds familiar, you’re paying good attention. Jakob is Walter and Karen’s grandson. We will have a cake reception after the service during our regular hospitality hour.

Next Sunday, September 22 at 12:30pm we will have our first workday at our new worship space at 2385 Park Ave in Bridgeport. We will work together to clear space by moving items varying in weight and size. Please wear comfortable clothes that can get dirty, closed shoes, and gloves.

Work is underway to make our new space one of utility, blessing, and beauty. As you know these kinds of projects can have a timeline all of their own. However, we have targeted two important dates to move into and use our new facility.

On Sunday, October 6, we plan to have a time of remembrance at Rodger Ludlowe during the morning service. After the service, we plan to load our worship and classroom gear into trucks and take them to the new building. Please wear comfortable moving clothes to church that day and plan to help us move our space immediately following the service. We will provide a simple pizza lunch at the Park Avenue location.

On Sunday, October 13, we plan to hold our first worship service at our new space followed by a move-in party on the front lawn. We will have food (bring a dish to share) and fun for kids and adults alike. This is an excellent day to invite some friends to come along. Mark your calendars and plan to join the fall fun!

I am excited to share this next adventure for our church family with you all!

Peace and Hope, Brian+
