When We Meet
SUNDAY MORNINGS { 8:45-10:15 }

WEEKLY DISCIPLESHIP GROUPS { Sunday, 5:00 P.M.-6:30 P.M. }
D-groups meet during the school year and are organized by grade and gender. These groups are designed for you to get together with other students for fellowship, Bible study, prayer, and service. These groups are designed to enhance the teaching you will receive at STS on Sunday mornings.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT FELLOWSHIP { 6:00 P.M.-7:15 P.M. }
This is a time for middle school students to gather for games and fellowship and to be challenged with Biblical truth and how it applies to their lives. Wednesday Night Fellowship is a casual, fun environment which is a great time for bringing friends. Join us for dinner from 5:00 pm– 6:00 pm ($6)

The Church of The Apostles is partnering with Operation Christmas Child this year as a part of Apostles’ “Big Give.” In STS we’re taking on a special challenge: to pack more than 100 boxes specifically for children between the ages of 10 & 14 years old.
Every year for Operation Christmas Child, the 10 – 14 years old age group is the most neglected. This year in STS we want to focus on that age group! We’re challenging our students to bring items specifically geared toward that age group.
On Sunday, November 13th, during STS, we will be packing shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child. We will provide the shoeboxes if you bring the supplies!
From now until then, we will have collection bins in the STS gym for collecting supplies.
Below is a breakdown of what each grade should bring.
We hope you will join us in helping to make someone’s Christmas extra special.
Thank you!
