CHURCH OF THE HOLY APOSTLES
ADULTS
Being a disciple is simply being a follower.
For a Christian, this means we are a disciple when we follow Jesus Christ. He has a heart for the lost, last, least and lonely. When we follow Jesus, our heart begins to change to have the same concern.
The process of growing into this lifestyle is called discipleship. It is simply a matter of being willing to continue following him through worship, prayer, the reading of God’s Word, fellowship, and other spiritual practices.
Adult Formation Groups
Our Adult Formation Groups allow our adults to gather on Sunday mornings from 9:15 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. to read God’s Word and explore spiritual practices. Childcare is available for children six weeks old through 5th grade.
Men:
Derek Agomate at dagomate@gmail.com in Room 103 - Book of Luke
Co-ed:
Steve Hamburg at ranchcinco@gmail.com in Room 102 - Co-Ed class
Two related topics will be presented during the late 2024 Adult Co-Ed Discipleship classes.
First, Steve Hamburg will teach “Stairway to Zion, Ascent to God.” This is inspired by Eugene Peterson’s A Long Obedience In The Same Direction, devoted to the Psalms of Ascents (120-134). Next, Shyam Kumar will teach A Celebration Of Discipline, based on Richard J. Foster’s spiritual classic.
Join in for an informational overview during the Sunday School hour, 9:15 to 10:00, on August 11. Stairway to Zion begins August 18. Celebration of Discipline begins early October. (Dates are tentative.)
Hope to see everyone back.

Daughters of the King
Members of The Order of the Daughters of the King® are women and girls between the ages of twenty-one and one hundred and seven who desire a closer walk with the Lord. We are Christian women, both lay and ordained, who are strengthened through the discipline of a Rule of Life and supported through the companionship of our sisters. We are all at different stages of our Christian journey – some have just begun, and some have been on this path for a long time. But no matter where we are on our sacred journeys, our primary goal is the same – to know Jesus Christ and to make Him known to others.
Reaffirming the promises made at Baptism and Confirmation, a Daughter pledges herself to a life-long program of prayer, service, and evangelism. She receives support in this commitment from a worldwide community of like-minded women.
In solidarity with one another, all Daughters everywhere make the same promises upon their admission to The Order:
To obey the two Rules of The Order: the Rule of Prayer and the Rule of Service.
To offer at all times loyal aid to our clergy and parish to spread Christ’s kingdom.
To wear faithfully the cross of The Order.
To work for the purposes of The Order as God may give us the opportunity.
We meet on the third Sunday of the month after the 10:30 a.m. service in Room 102. If you are interested in joining our chapter, please contact the president, Donna Bell.
