APC at Father’s Cupboard – March 8th Recap

March 8, 2025, was a full Saturday for APC Missions!

The day started early, with 11 of us serving underserved individuals and families at Father’s Cupboard in Glen Rock, NJ. We thank all those who joined us to directly serve, and all those who donated to our Bread of Life Ministry. Through this ministry, we provide bread once a month to the 100+ individuals/families who seek relief at the Father’s Cupboard.

The next time we will be serving at Father’s Cupboard is Saturday, April 5, 2025. Hope to see you there!

The day ended at APC, where we shared fellowship, a meal and a movie during our Missions Potluck Movie Night. Over 20 people attended to watch The Least of These, The Graham Staines Story, about the Australian missionary from Australia, who served in India for 34 years, “converting lepers into human beings.” Thank you to all those who attended!

Our next program will be a special presentation on Saturday, May 3, 2025. Hope to see you there!

APC Hosts the Bakalians

On January 21, 2025, APC hosted Reverend Nishan and Maria Bakalian as our guest speakers and presenters. The Bakalians used to pastor the AEUNA church in Havertown, PA and were a wonderful presence in our Armenian Evangelical community here in the USA. A few years ago, they received a call to serve overseas as missionaries in Beirut, Lebanon with the Union of Armenian Evangelical Churches in the Near East, through Global Ministries and the AMAA. Periodically, they return to the US to provide an update on their ministry and reconnect with family and friends.

During the Armenian sermon, Rev. Nishan talked about the work of the Holy Spirit through the people of God and His church; during the English sermon he spoke about how Jesus Christ gives us a foretaste of the divine, by expounding on the parable of the Wedding at Cana. At the end of the church service, Rev. Nishan and Maria gave a presentation about their work and the people whose lives they touch every day. The day ended with a luncheon, where we enjoyed their fellowship and got to know them on a personal level.

The proceeds of a special Sunday offering and a free will offering during lunch were sent to the AMAA and Global Ministries.
