Just for Today
Lord, for tomorrow and its needs,
I do not pray;
Keep me, my God, from stain of sin
Just for today.
Let me both diligently work,
and duly pray.
Let me be kind in word and deed,
Just for today.
Let me be slow to do my will,
Prompt me to obey;
Help me to sacrifice myself
Just for today.
And if today my tide of life
Should ebb away,
Give me thy Sacraments divine,
Sweet Lord, today.
So for tomorrow and its needs
I do not pray,
But keep me, guide me, love me, Lord,
Just for today.
Saint Augustine's Prayer Book
How Easy Lord
How easy for me to live with you, O Lord!
How easy for me to believe in you!
when my mind parts in bewilderment or falters,
when the most intelligent people see no further
than the days end and do not know
what must be done tomorrow,
You grant me the serene certitude
that you exist and that you will take care
that not all paths of good be closed,
Atop a ridge of earthly fame,
I look back in wonder at the path
which I alone could never have found,
a wonderous path through despair to this point
from which I, too, could transmit
to mankind a reflection of your rays.
and as much as I must reflect
You will give me.
but as much as I cannot take up
You will have already assigned to others.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Love
John 15:12-17: "My command is
this: Love each other as I have
loved you" (v. 12)
Thank you, Lord, for your written word
that tells of your everlasting love for us.
Help us to communicate your love to
others.
A Cup of Water
Mark 9:33-41: "I tell you the
truth, anyone who gives you a
cup of water in my name because
you belong to Christ will certainly
not lose his reward" (v. 41)
Grant a special blessing, Lord, on those
who give comfort to people whose lives
are measured in days and hours.
God's Temple
1 Cor. 3:16-17: "Don't you know
that yourselves are God's temple
and that God's spirit lives in you?
If anyone destroys God's temple,
God will destroy him; for God's
temple is sacred, and you are
that temple."
It is an awesome thought, Lord that
our body is your temple. Help us to
keep it fit for your dwelling.
Hope
Prov. 15:30 "A cheerful look
brings joy to the heart, and good
news gives health to the bones."
Thank you, Lord, for the opertunity to
give good news to others. Help us to
bring hope with a cheerful countenance
when the news is less good.

From the quiet beauty of our very historical setting, the Lord has called the Church of the Holy Apostles to be His ministers to each other and to our community. In November of 2005, the Rev. Jerry DuBose and his wife, Serena, accepted the Lord's challenge to come to Barnwell. Jerry has a vision of growing the church for Christ by reaching out to the community through ministry.
The Spirit of the Lord is moving in 2008 at Holy Apostles! We are proud, honored and deeply humbled to announce that, after 160 years of serving the Barnwell community, Church of the Holy Apostles has received its parish status from the South Carolina Diocese. Also, in the fall of this year, Holy Apostles School will open, initially offering education for Kindergarten and 1st grade. Great things are happening at Holy Apostles. We invite you to join us! Together, we have the opportunity to make this world, through our community, a reflection of God's Kingdom.
Please visit our website often to keep up with how the Lord is working through us and how you can be a part of this ministry.

Almighty and everliving God, ruler of all things in heaven
and earth, hear our prayers for this church family. Strengthen
the faithful, arouse the careless, and restore the penitent.
Grant us all things necessary for our common life, and bring
us all to be of one heart and mind within your holy Church;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
