APC Friday Flash from January 13th
Dear Friends,
The school holidays are over and our church programs are back in full swing. Today’s Friday Flash gives you the pertinent details.
1. A NOTE FROM CHANDLER SIMON. “Hello my name is Chandler. Last Sunday, January 8th, I spoke to the congregation about the Kinderklinik. I have been raising money for them through my school project community and service. My friend and I have been raising money by collecting bottles. However my supervisor told me that the money would be split between other charities. I heard this and immediately thought the Kinderklinik would not get as much as I had hoped. That is why I ask you to please donate any money left over. Please place it in the black and yellow box in the narthex by the entrance. For more information come talk to me or grab a leaflet from the hall. Thank you so much. And I would really like to sincerely thank those who have already contributed!!! At a later date, I look forward to sharing the results of the contributions with everyone!!! Sincerely, Chandler Simon“
2. CONGREGATIONAL MEETING. A week from Sunday, January 22nd, there will be one Worship Service only at 10:30 AM, and our Congregational Meeting to vote on the proposed APC Consolidated Budget is scheduled to follow immediately at 12:00.

3. 2012 PLEDGE CARDS. Thank you to all who have already given their pledge cards for the coming year.
