pentecost sunday

one service at 10a

Sunday, May 24

“The heart of each believer becomes the new dwelling place of God.”

On the Day of Pentecost the Holy Spirit was poured out on the Apostles and members of the nascent Church in fulfillment of the promise the Father had made to his people generations earlier.

With that outpouring of the Spirit's presence, in fulfillment of Jesus' instruction, the dwelling place of God moved from the Temple in Jerusalem to the heart of each individual believer, making us all the temple of God. Many call this day, "the birthday of the Church."

As it is a fast day on the Church calendar, we will have one combined service at 10a.

We hope you will join us.

koinonia groups

The early believers were known for their common life, referred to as koinonia.

Groups

The early Church was known for its friendships, referred to as koinonia (Acts 2.42). This word for fellowship is based on the word koine, for “common.” They shared a common life.

As we encourage this Christ-based intimacy at Apostles, we are forming groups that will meet bimonthly for Scripture-based study and prayer; acting as a springboard for other fellowship activities, such as meals among families and friends.

Some groups will meet in homes, others at the church. Each group will have around 6-8 members (a minimum of four; no more than 12) which meet on the “off” weeks of the men’s and women’s Bible studies, with a variety of time and day offerings, all under the guidance of two trained co-leaders, as groups discuss John Mark Comer’s Practicing the Way. Women also have the option of participating in a koinonia group through the Tuesday morning and Wednesday night Bible Study (with discussion based on the lesson, rather than the Comer book), or of doing both!

For now, these will be men’s and women’s groups. This simplified approach will help us in launching this program, but we have an eye to offering mixed gender groups in the future.

If you would like to join a women's Koinonia group,
please contact Deacon Lisa Wheeler.

If you would like to join a men's Koinonia group,
please contact Mr Hoyt Burnett.
