Mark your calendars! On Sunday, February 9th, Church of the Apostles will host our annual Souper Bowl Sunday collection after the 10 AM worship service. This year, our Primary Faith Formation and Rooted in Faith classes are teaming up to gather donations for the COA Breakfast Ministry.

Every first Saturday of the month, COA serves a hearty breakfast at First Reformed UCC on Orange Street. Guests receive breakfast sandwiches, peanut butter sandwiches, cereal, snacks, milk, juice, coffee, and more. Your support directly helps us continue this vital outreach!
