Blessing of the Animals Saturday, October 6th at 4:00pm Bring all your 4-legged or more-legged, feathered or slithering friends to celebrate St. Francis (the remarkable saint who expressed so much of his ministry through his love of animals and all of creation) and to receive their annual pet blessing! Dr. Karter Neal will bring the ASAVET mobile veterinary clinic, the All American Food Truck will be on board so no cooking this day, Madam PJ will be under her umbrella doing face painting and, this year we have a added treat. Jean Harrison will give a Sniffer Friends demonstration. Jean will even try her magic with Mr. Mojo. This is a great opportunity to bring your friends and neighbors to enjoy the Apostles community. Come all…. even if you do not have your own pet. We bless two-leggeds too.
Welcome Home & Pie Sunday October 7th Pies, pies, do we love pies! Let’s gather together to welcome home all those who have been away at our Annual Welcome & Home Pie Sunday celebration. Please bring any kind of pie you would like to share, home-made or purchased.

Children’s Handbell Choir resumes August 19 and continues on the first and third Sunday’s of each month from 10:40 to 11 or 11:10am. As part of our growing music ministry long time piano teacher and faithful God’s Place assistant and church member Jean Harrison will bless our children with an introduction to music education using color-coded handbells. Growing young musicians is not only good for our church, it is good for our children. “There’s some good neuroscience research that children involved in music have larger growth of neural activity than people not in music training. When you’re a musician and you’re playing an instrument, you have to be using more of your brain,” says Dr. Eric Rasmussen, chair of the Early Childhood Music Department at the Peabody Preparatory of The Johns Hopkins University, where he teaches a specialized music curriculum for children aged two months to nine years. You may sign up on Sunday mornings or let the church office know.
Centering Prayer followed by Lectio Divina (sacred reading) continues every Wednesday at 2pm in the Library. For those new to this, Centering Prayer is at the same time a relationship with God and a discipline to foster that relationship. Lectio Divina is engaging scripture or other texts to discover how Spirit is moving in our lives. All are welcome to attend both or either part of the Wednesday Centering Prayer meeting. Facilitated by Rev. Debra.

The Saturday Morning Apostles Men’s Group is beginning our fall Bible study on Saturday September 15 in the Library at 9:00. This year our focus will be the Men of the Bible Christian Testament. We discuss a chapter out of the Men of the Bible book and then have a DVD lecture on a related subject. We would love to have you join us.

Any questions you can ask Gary Beeler or email him at gnbeeler@aol.com. You could also just show up for our first meeting on September 15th.
