Worship is the centerpiece of our spiritual lives. Jesus taught us that to love God is the first and most important commandment; we do that when we worship. Worship at APC is informal – don’t feel you have to get dressed up; just come. Worship at APC is diverse – prepare to be surprised each week. Worship at APC is relevant – prepare to be taught and inspired each week.
We are all at different places on our spiritual journey. Whether you are a skeptic, a new believer, or seasoned Christ-follower, there are many opportunities to grow in your relationship with Jesus at APC. Check out all of the classes for adults as well as age specific classes for students of all ages.
This Advent we will explore the temporal dimensions of the incarnation by looking at Christmas Past, Present and Future. Like the ghosts in Charles Dickens’ classic A Christmas Carol, we will take a journey through time and space to see the way in which our understanding of Christmas has changed and in turn, has changed us.
December 1: Who is the ONE Who is Coming? Preaching: Don Lacrosse
Dec 8: Christmas Past What can we learn about Christmas from the prophecies of the Messiah? The expectation and longing for the Messiah was a consistent theme in the Hebrew scriptures and continues to inspire us as those hopes were fulfilled in such an unexpected way.
December 15: Christmas Present The birth of Jesus was the beginning of a new age that continues to the present. The continued power of the incarnation and the presence of Christ with the church today is the reason for the season.
December 22: Christmas Future The church continues to wait in eager longing for the return of the King. This future dimension of our faith keeps us alert and awake, even and especially in the darkest of times. There is no Christian Education this day.
December 24: What We Can Learn From Scrooge The story of Ebenezer Scrooge is one of the greatest of all tales and raises the question, “Can anyone really change?” Worship at APC on Christmas Eve 7, 9 and 11 pm and find out.
December 29: One service only at 9:30 am. There is no Christian Education this day.
The Story
Next year we will be reading The Story which is a version of the bible that is divided into 31 readable chapters. The church is selling the book for $5 and they are available for purchase from the office.
