Giving
There was a moment for all of us before we all gathered together here at Holy Apostles - for some of us that moment was sometime in the last year, for others it was a year, two, five, ten or twenty or more years ago. And here we all are, the gathered people of God, the ecclesia, the church, coming together to worship, for fellowship, to make meaning of our lives, to learn what it means to lead a Christ centered life.
As you know we are big on reflecting at Holy Apostles, so we want to ask you to take a few moments to reflect on your life before coming to Holy Apostles and your life today and consider this question:
How has being at Holy Apostles - in whatever way you are here - online, occasionally, once a month, every week - enriched your life, help you understand how God is moving in your life, given you an opportunity to explore what it means to be a Christian in 21st century America, connected you with fellow travelers, given you opportunities for service, grown bonds of community that might not have existed before?
At Holy Apostles we continue to live into the hope that has been made incarnate in by Jesus Christ who offers us a path of light and love, in a world that can seem so dark and chaotic. Together, we make this community vibrant, viable and open to welcoming others seeking that light and love of Christ - the hope that comes with knowing that death and darkness does not have the last word.
Together, our combined giving makes it possible to offer the worship, music, programs, outreach, welcome that we have been building up here in Windsor Terrace in God’s Kingdom. Here we truly see the power of Christian community.
As you reflect on the importance of this ecclesia, this worship community in your life and in the neighborhood, we ask you to consider your financial gift to Holy Apostles for 2024. We continue to move towards financial independence from the Diocese, our goal pledge for 2024 is $250,000.
In gratitude,
The Mothers
