NATIONAL ANNOUNCEMENTS:


The Sunday School Curriculum Committee, a part of Onward Media, is excited to share an update with the church! In the past year, our dedicated team of authors, reviewers, coordinators, and illustrators across our congregations have written over 300 preschool through 12th-grade lessons. Nearly 500 lessons have been written in the last two years! This is a testimony of God's faithfulness and the hard work of our volunteers. Please thank those in your congregation who have been contributing! 


We aim to write the remaining 220 lessons by December 2025 and have the finished product ready afterward. However, you can access these lessons in their current format on our website. To finish, we need additional authors and reviewers: ten volunteers in high school, four in junior high, and two in first and second grade. Additional help for general review, copyright, and apologetics would also be appreciated. We need brothers and sisters willing to spend 2-5 hours a week writing and reviewing lessons that come alongside our families in teaching who God is, what he has done, and how he wants our students...the future of our church...to live. 


For more information about the project watch this video and visit our website (https://www.apostolicchristian.org/curriculum-project). To volunteer, please sign up via this link or at our website by January 19. Please continue to pray God directs this work and brings us the volunteers we need.


LETTER FROM ALTADENA, CA CHURCH:


Greetings to you from Altadena, in the name of Jesus!
 
We have been overwhelmed this past week with the shock and devastation of high winds and uncontrolled fire that has wreaked havoc on our community. We are also overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and care and prayer and offers of support from across our land.
 
Some of you have lived here, some of you have buried loved ones here, many of you have visited us. There are lots of memories of the joys and sorrows, of the worship and fellowship we’ve shared.
 
We believe that God is sovereign, that nothing happens outside of His control and that to everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven. As our congregation has become smaller over the years, we have asked the Lord for insight as to what the future holds for our church. On Tuesday, driving up the hill through the confusion of disaster, passing block after block of smoldering ruins, I turned and was amazed at the sight…our church building, standing there, untouched. The sight took my breath away and moved me to a sense of deep humility and gratitude. Today, we are thankful to be here, for such a time as this. 

Right away our minds can go to restoring and rebuilding or blaming and politicizing.  However, our community is full of precious souls, made in the image of God and our primary need is prayer. 
 
So we ask that you join us. Pray that hearts and marriages and relationships and lives can be reborn, repaired and restored by the grace of God. Pray that in the name of Jesus, we can carry on His ministry… to proclaim good news to the poor, to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, and to comfort all who mourn. Pray that the Holy Spirit will help us know how to share the light and love and life of Christ with our hurting community.
 
Also, pray with us for discernment on how to help address imminent material needs. HarvestCall has reached out and we are making a list of those with whom we have current relationships that have suffered loss and need assistance. 
 
Donations can be made to the HarvestCall Disaster Fund/Altadena.
 
Love, grace and peace to you all,
 
Tom Klotzle and the Altadena/Los Angeles church
 

REPENTANCE ANNOUNCEMENT:



We are very excited to announce that Fiona Rocke has accepted the free gift of salvation and is seeking membership in our church. Fiona is the daughter of Bro. Adam and Sis. Maribeth. Please pray for Fiona as we know Satan hates a public confession of faith in Jesus!
