Welcome to Church of the Apostles
We are an Episcopal Church located in Oro Valley. Our Church can
be found at Tangerine Road and North La Cholla Boulevard.
While we are a in a new building, we practice an ancient faith.
We find our connection to God, to the Divine, through Jesus Christ.
Our Sunday mornings are filled with worship that is fresh and new, yet
we follow the tradition of the apostles. We continue in their teaching,
in prayer and in the breaking bread together.
We welcome all to join us, no matter where you are in your journey
with God. Our Sunday services are wide ranging, just like the
members
of our congregation.
Sunday worship begins at 7:30 am with a traditional language service.
The second service takes place at 9:30 and draws from our familiar
Book of Common Prayer, Rite II.
Learn about us from these web pages, or better yet, come and join us
on a Sunday. We will be here, modern-day Apostles, ready to
welcome
you and your family.

Dear Friends in Christ,
Life of the Steward
These days if you look at books on Spirituality or Faith you can see that there is a new and sizable collection of practical books. Specifically books on the specific practice that build up one's prayer life, or meditation skills or ability to spot and serve those with a need.
I consider this a fine new development. I recall that growing up my Mother made a distinction between average churchgoers and those who were Practicing Christians. That's the kind of believer I intend to be.
Now I believe that regular and intentional participation in weekly worship and the sacraments is, in fact, a profound practice of faith. It is foundational for us. But the mighty building that God is doing in the world, with Christ as the cornerstone, is not limited to the practice of worship. We are invited, and just plain dropped into, situations where we are called to serve.
So... How is your Serve these days? Strong? Irregular? Dependable? Out of practice?
Throughout October we will listen to how our peers practice their serve at Apostles. At the Ministry Fair we will have a chance to sign up for a new Mission (should we choose to accept it...). And the chance to serve is not limited to church activities but abound in our community. This is what the life of a faithful Practicing Christian looks like. It should be no surprise that this is what Good Stewardship or being a Good Steward looks like too. Don't be left out.
This fall, show up, sign up, and start to practice your Serve.
In Christ,,
Megan+ |
