    Being part of a vibrant, Spirit filled church community during this tumultuous time is ever more important to our spiritual well-being. We all have a place to come to for comfort, for healing, for nourishment, for strength, for understanding how God is able to pierce the darkness of this time and shine a ray of hope for all to see.

    In this tumultuous time, there are many rays of LEDGE CARDGod’s light piercing through the darkness at Holy Apostles - for which we are so grateful.

    Together, we have moved migrants from city shelters, providing rent, furnishings and food, we’ve helped them find new schools and daycare for their children, supported them in finding work and even helped a family who was detained by ICE in Texas fly back to New York. Together, we volunteered to deliver meals through God’s Love We Deliver and served as a hub for Thanksgiving meals. Together, we provided Christmas gifts to over 200 children and their parents at PS 15. Together, we provided food through our Tiny Pantry.

    We are equipping our youth through Sunday School, Youth Group and Afterschool with the knowledge that God loves them and is their strength at all times. As adults we are knitting ourselves together in the Body of Christ through Sunday worship, Wednesday Evening prayer, Community Dinner, the Parish Retreat, the Monthly Makers Guild, the Choir, the Parish Reads, the Men’s Group, 20/30’s Group, Adult Ed.

    Being on this journey together gives us the ability to see the ways in which God’s light pierces the dark. We continue to learn how to be and how we are already being God’s light in the world. For that we are grateful.

    In this season, we show our gratitude by making financial pledges to Holy Apostles for the coming year.

    Your annual pledge is your financial commitment for the coming year to this church. Our pledges make up over 60% of our operating income. For the last 9 years, we have received financial support of our co-ministry from the Diocese of Long Island. Since we are in the midst of a Bishop transition, future financial support is unclear and not guaranteed. If you have never made a pledge before, we have included some guidelines of how to consider how to make your pledge. If you have pledged before, we ask that you prayerfully consider increasing your pledge.

    Our goal for 2026 is to reach $325,000 in pledges (up from $256,000) in order to begin to make up the amount the Diocese gives us.

    So we invite you to make your pledge to our shared ministry here at Holy Apostles for 2026.

    You can:
    · Use the pledge calculator
    · Fill out the pledge card enclosed in your mailer and bring it on November 2nd to be blessed during the service at our “ingathering” (or another time)
    · Fill out the following online pledge form

    Last year, our average pledge was $3,300 with a range of $240 a year to over $20,000 a year.

    We are grateful to be on this journey in Christ with you and look forward with great hope and joy to the next 12 months.
    In peace with joy,

    The Mothers
