Friends,

Some info about local super markets: 

Windsor Farms Market has agreed to open one hour early from 6-7 am for ELDERLY-ONLY shopping, so seniors and people with disabilities can purchase the items they need in a less crowded environment. They anticipate being 80% stocked by tomorrow and will begin the initiative this coming Wednesday, March 18th @ 6 am. Imad “Joey” Abuzahrieh and members of his staff will be there early to welcome seniors into the store.

Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

As we come to the end of the day, we reflect on how grateful we are to have been together in spirt for worship. Technology is imperfect, but it offers an opportunity to continue connecting during these difficult times.  If you missed worship today, our sermon is on the website, and both services are still on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/holyapostlesbrooklyn/).   How fun it was to pass the peace as we did!

This week we will begin our virtual meetings. The meetings will all take place on Zoom. If you haven’t done a Zoom Meeting before—that’s okay. You can use a computer, iPad, smart phone or you can just call in with a regular telephone. If you are nervous or want to do a practice meeting—call or email us. We can make it work. 

Listed below are the meetings, the day of the week and the time.  Some of them you can join just by clicking the link online. Others you need to email us.  We look forward to being together this week. And please email or call to be in touch to let us know how you are doing.

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.  Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way  and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. Psalm 46

Dear Sisters & Brothers in Christ,

We are in the midst of rapid change, a lot of uncertainty and heightened fear.  With the common good in mind, and for the foreseeable future, we will be conducting church virtually. There will be no church gatherings in the church, and all of our small groups and prayer groups will be conducted virtually as well, including choir. Choir members will be hearing from Saya in the next day about virtual rehearsals.  Small group members will be hearing from their small group leader directly about virtual meetings. 

We will live stream through Facebook Live from the Church of the Holy Apostles FB page with a link from the homepage of our website www.holyapostlesbrooklyn.com .  The weekly bulletin will be posted on our website homepage as well so that we can all follow along - hymns will be included!  

Our Schedule is as follows:
9:15am: This Little Light
10am: Sunday Liturgy

PLEASE NOTE: We have moved up This Little Light to 9:15.

There will be questions over the coming weeks about Easter. We are taking this week to week and will be in regular touch with you. We ask you to be in touch with us as well and with each other. Make a commitment to be in touch with one or two people from church each week, checking in on them. Isolation is a real risk in the coming weeks - if you need someone's contact information, please email us. Our strength as a community is shown forth how we care and love each other, especially in times like these. We cannot forget that Jesus told us to love our neighbors and to help others the best we can.  

We will be together in person again soon friends.  And in the meantime, join us at 9:15 or 10am Sunday through Facebook live. Carve that time out for yourself and your spiritual well-being. 

We remain steadfast and faithful in the midst of chaos and fear.  God is our refuge.

A parting piece of advice - none of us will regret being too cautious.  Please be cautious.

Do not hesitate to reach out to us and request a prayer or a call. Click here if you have a prayer request. 

If you do not have Facebook, but would like to participate on Sunday, please email us and we will help you set it up.  As long as you have a computer, smartphone or iPad,  you will be able to set up Facebook.

In peace with love,

The Mothers
