Budget Review
The Stewardship Commission invites you to take part in the budget process. Copies of the proposed 2016 budget are available at the Welcome Center now for you to study. There are four scheduled times to get together to ask questions and make suggestions before the annual meeting. Meetings will be held between the worship services: today, September 20, and October 4 and on Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. on September 30 and October 14. Also, feel free to attend our Stewardship Meetings on September 17 and October 15, also at 7 p.m. We are actively seeking your input in this important process. If you would like to set up a different time, please contact Karen Culp at (717) 299-3989.

C.A.R.E. Calendars
Andy Appel is selling 2016 calendars between services and after the second service. All the proceeds will be added to funding for the FIFTH school being built in Honduras by C.A.R.E. and its partners—one of which is Church of the Apostles. The calendar pictures are prints of paintings done by Honduran sisters (ages 6 and 8) especially for C.A.R.E. A tax letter will be sent to you, if requested. Thank you for helping this project become a reality.

New Beginnings will meet on Thursday, October 8^th at 1 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall. We will begin with a dessert social at 1 p.m. At 1:30 p.m., Jack Oliphant will present a program which will help us understand the relationship between math and music. Please mark your calendar and join us.

Church Activity Photos
A picture is worth a thousand words! As we seek to tell others about our church and ministries through our website and social media, we are asking that you, members of COA, who attend any church activities please take a few moments to take photos whenever possible. Cell phone photos are acceptable; and the more, the better! Please submit your photos to Michelle Ayala at MichelleA@apostlesucc.org. With your help, our church can begin to reach thousands more with our message.
