TRUSTEES - March 01, 2026


This year, the trustees welcomed Brian Burch and Duane Flower to the crew. The “Pew

crew” de-waxed and vacuumed all of pews. Thanks to Kim, Chase & Astrid Atkins, Gabe

Johnson, Barry Karhan, and Jenn Gonzales for their hard work removing the wax that gets

dripped during the candle light service. The downstairs toilet project was completed after

thorough research and development by Mark Boyce and his son. Duane Flower painted the

floor, and Mary Ellen Bain added the finishing touches by painting the areas that required sheet

rock work. The new toilet works great and we ask that everyone takes care to flush only toilet

paper in all of our toilets. Joe Lohret and Jim Stott replaced the toilet at the yellow house with a

more efficient modern unit. We met February 19th and discussed our projects and planned

maintenance for the year.


Lou Hoffis for the Trustees

VIEW FROM THE MANSE 2.0 - April 2025

  Recently, on a Saturday morning, APC hosted a new members’ class. This class has taken different forms in recent years. It was once offered on 6 consecutive Sundays during the Sunday school hour (and we may go back to doing that in the future). But, more recently, we have been taking a Saturday morning to cover all that material in a single day. It sounds daunting, but we take breaks and conclude with lunch from the Argyle Variety. I enjoy teaching this class immensely and I am usually assisted by a ruling elder (this past time I was assisted by Wes Clark).           The class is structured around the membership questions. There are 5 of them and they can be grouped into 3 categories; what does it mean to be a Christian, how do we live as Christians, and what is the Evangelical Presbyterian denomination of which APC is a part? Here are the membership questions: 1.   Do you acknowledge yourselves to be sinners in the sight of G...

  Someone recently made the comment that I look tired. That may be because of poor sleep in recent weeks. But in all likelihood, it is just that there are a number of hard, sad situations in the life of our church right now. It is a privilege to be your pastor and be present with you through these difficult seasons. Praying with Jesus for you all is a sweet calling. But this seems to be a common occurrence as we approach the end of the year and the season of Advent; more sadness, more darkness.           Advent is the season in the liturgical calendar that begins the year. It is time between times. We approach the birth of Christ in a manger while anticipating the return of Christ (what we frequently refer to as his second coming). And it is in this season that the church lives its life. Fleming Rutledge writes, “Advent is the season that, when properly understood, does not flinch from the darkness that stalks us all in this world. Adv...

VIEW FROM THE MANSE 2.0 - NOVEMBER 2025

  A few times throughout the year, the elders, deacons, and trustees take the time to meet together. This is important for our church because we want our leadership team working together and we want to have a common culture across the church.           During our October meeting we celebrated those who are cycling off our boards. When you are elected for one of these positions, you are elected for a 3-year term, with a good chance that you will be invited to serve for a second term.           Ellen Fullerton and Ray Steidle are cycling off the session after serving for 6 years each. They both came on session shortly after Steve and Kim moved to Texas. It is hard to believe that 6 years have passed. They both had the privilege of serving during some unfamiliar waters (pastoral transition and COVID) and I am grateful for their steady leadership.        ...
