 Greetings!

It's our time to shine on Youth Sunday this week!  Our Youth will lead the 8:30 and 11:00 services, including preaching the sermon.  I am so proud of each and every one of your children and excited to share them with our congregation on Sunday.    

 

I'm especially proud that we'll be welcoming our 2012 Confirmands into membership at APC.  They have worked so hard this year, and now that hard work will be rewarded as they take the next steps in their individual and collective faith journeys.   Please join us at 11:00 for this wonderful ceremony.

 

In Christ,
Kelly Edwards, Director of Youth Ministries
