The mobile unit offers services including surgeries, spaying/neutering and assists underserved areas in Arizona, nearby Indian Reservations and parts of New Mexico. The piggy bank in the Church Lobby will be used to collect monetary donations to assist in this charity. No gift is too small and it's a great place to put your extra change!

Mission Inreach: Caring for one another
PARISH LIFE
At Apostles we want to help you develop a meaningful relationship with God and each other by meeting throughout the week in small groups for fellowship as well as for the good of the community. We offer dynamic women's and men's groups that aim to strengthen our faith through fun activities like friendship suppers and outings that make us feel connected to one another and God. admin@ovapostles.org

WORSHIP
There are many dedicated volunteers at Apostles who work together each week to make our services happen. Interested in joining the choir, becoming a Lay Reader or getting involved "behind the scenes"? Contact Deacon Linda Hutson at 520-850-5413 or azlhutson@gmail.com.
LEADERSHIP
We are called to do God’s mission and ministry in the world and to be good stewards of all that we are given. Although we have a few paid staff at Apostles (only our vicar is full time), it is through the dedication of our volunteers & Bishop's Committee that many of our works are possible. To learn more about leadership opportunities, contact our Senior Warden Ron Overholt at ronoverholt@comcast.net.
