Apostle
Presbyterian
Church Matthew 28:18-20
18 And Jesus came say-
ing, All power is given
unto me in heaven and
in earth.
19 Go therefore, and
teach all nations, baptiz-
ing them in the name of
the Father, and of the
Son, and of the Holy
Ghost:20 Teaching them
to observe all things
whatsoever I have com-
manded you: and, lo, I
am with you always,
even unto the end of the
world. Amen.
Dear Apostle Presbyteri-
an Church;
I guess it is fitting that
after we finished the
book study of THE PUR-
POSE DRIVEN LIFE
( by Rick Warren)—
subtitle WHAT ON
EARTH AM I HERE
FOR, that we would
begin to study Apostle
and ask the same ques-
tion—what on earth are
we here for? Where is
God leading this church
at the corner of 76th and
Orchard? Where do we
see needs in our commu-
nity? What are our core
values? Have they
changed in the last 50
years?
We are not unique—the
Presbytery of Milwau-
kee has just finished
the process of putting
together this infor-
mation for the entire
Presbytery. I have
talked to many church-
es that have either just
started a mission study
or just finished one.
Apostle is not the lone
ranger out there on the
frontier!!
I have a few books sit-
ting on my desk to
study before we start
our mission study here
and I think my favorite
is “FACING REALITY”
by Thomas G Bandy.
We need to look at who
we REALLY are here in
West Allis. This isn’t
1960 any longer when
the church threw open
the door and everyone
came running. We
compete with many
things for people’s time
and resources. The
good news is that God
is always God—He is
the same yesterday,
today and tomorrow.
He is on this journey
with us, of that we can
be sure! (see Matthew
28 vs. 20)
I hope that you will
pray for the folks that
have volunteered to be
part of the mission
study. Please know
that this is a serious
task as it can affect
where Apostle goes in
the future—we can
clearly transition from
“what has been” to
“what can be” That is a
tremendous opportuni-
ty.
If you have any ques-
tions or comments, as
always, feel free to call
the church office. We
are looking forward to
learning more about
the neighborhood AND
ourselves!!
Peace,
Cathy

A Message from our Pastor
ACTS OF APOSTLE
May 2012 ACTS OF APOSTLE
I have been working in the church office since December 1st of this past year. It has been my joy to serve the
members of Apostle Church as your secretary. Melody was a hard act to follow after 30 years of faithful ser-
vice but I learned a lot from her experience.
Today this job could not be done by one person alone. Since the office hours are shorter and the days are less,
I have had wonderful members willing to help in any way they could.
A special thank you to Marianne and Rich Carus for faithfully coming in every Friday to assemble the bulle-
tins, re-fresh the pew envelopes, clear the pew pads, make sure pencils are in every pew, change the Paraments
on the alter and basically clean up the Sanctuary wherever it is needed.
Another special thank you goes to Kathy Estlund, Judy Puschnig and Mary Collins for coming in once a month
to assemble and prepare the newsletters for mailing. Lots of work!!!!! Thank you!
Bob Riemer and Mike Lempke have taken the newsletters down to the Milwaukee bulk mail post office each
month when it is ready for mailing. If you have never been to this part of the post office you would think you
have fallen off the face of the earth. These men are always willing to help where ever I need it. Thank you so
much…………...
Several of the Presbyterian Women came in to assemble the Annual Report for our Annual Meeting. Lots and
lots of pages and stapling. It didn’t take these organized women very long to complete this huge task. I could-
n’t have done it without them!!!!!!!
Tuesdays when the Apostle Pals are in the building, I am not here. But I come back on Wednesday and I notice
various things that I know they spent their time fixing, repairing or working on. Particularly the sign out in
front of the church. These guys are amazing at the sayings or phrases they come up with each week. So many
people love to read that sign.
We reach people we don’t know and we make a difference in someone’s life everyday by the giving and help
we offer to others.
There is so much activity going on during the day at Apostle. Circles, committees and other groups that are
here doing God’s work. Your smiles and busy hands are very evident all over this building and in this commu-
nity.
I want each and every one of you to know that I really appreciate your willingness to serve and your willingness
to help me when I need it. You are good people who make me proud to work for you.
Of course I couldn’t finish my thank you’s without thanking Cathy Manthei. As you all already know, she is a
messenger from God that keeps right on serving and serving. Thank you for being an example to all of us on
how giving of one’s self really works.

In April, 120 cool ties and 9 knitted “team” hats were mailed to The Ships Project to be forwarded to military men and women around the world. These items are report-edly life saving to the soldiers who need them. Thank you to all who continue to work diligently on these items. The following thank you was received recently: “Hello, I am a Chief Petty Officer onboard the Guided Missile Destroyer USS Far-ragut. I would like to thank your group for sending my ship the handmade skull caps. My guys and I stand watch in weapon systems spaces that are very cold and the skull caps keep us warm. One of my guys is a Texas Longhorns fan and he even got to pick one out that perfectly matched his team colors. We are on a seven month piracy deployment in the Gulf of Aden and the Horn of Africa areas of opera-tion. What you do means a lot to us and it’s very nice to know that there are people out there that care about us and that support us. From all my guys in the Division we send you a big thank you!” Hope Circle will next meet on Thursday, May 7
th at 10 a.m. We will be making cool
ties and can really use your help – cutting, stitching, filling, pressing, etc. If you have questions, please contact Shirley Anderson (546-2476) or Marilyn Stone (1-262-763-0918).

SOMETHING A BIT DIFFERENT!!
A trip to the MSOE Grohmann
Museum
(One of Milwaukee’s best kept
secrets)
Located at 1000 N Broadway, this
museum is the home of the MAN AT
WORK collection, with ceiling murals,
floor mosaics, stained glass windows
and bronze sculptures. We will have a
docent-led tour, and the museum is
very friendly to those of us who use a
walker, cane or wheelchair, with many
places to sit and rest if necessary.
Our outing will start with lunch (on
our own) at the George Watts Tea
Room, 761 N. Jefferson (valet parking
available) at 11:30 a.m. Then on to
the museum—we are scheduled for
1:30 p.m. The charge for seniors is
$3.00 each. We will carpool from
Apostle, leaving at 11:00 a.m. There is
free parking at MSOE at the corner of
State and Milwaukee. We need reser-
vations by Friday, May 4, to reserve
our place at both the Museum and at
George Watts. You’ll want to partici-
pate in this highly recommended, out-
standing program.

Tuesday, July 17, come with your family, friends, congregation, faith community, school or oth-
er organization for a celebratory evening at Miller Park with the Interfaith Conference of
Greater Milwaukee. Donate food for the Hunger Task Force, wear “Going to Bat for a Better
World” t-shirt and see an exciting Brewers-Cardinals game.
For the past two years, we also have been given the honor of having one of our participants
throw a symbolic first pitch on the playing field before the game. If we sell enough tickets to
qualify for that again, we’ll conduct a drawing and let a lucky boy or girl have the thrill of pitch-
ing from the mound to a Brewers catcher.
We handle all ticket and t-shirt sales online for individuals or groups.
This is a great opportunity for Apostle to have fun and work together with our larger communi-
ty for the good cause aided by the Hunger Task Force.

Financial update from our Treasurer and Finance Committee
The word “sing” appears in
our Bible hundreds of times
and seems to always be con-
nected to glorifying God and
celebrating His kingdom.
Our music at Apostle does the
same as we plan a program of
praising God. There has been
a long history of musical ex-
cellence at Apostle and the
commitment of those involved
in the music program has al-
ways been outstanding.
The Music Department at
Apostle is always looking for
new and unique ways to add
music to our services and we
are in the process of putting
together the music for our
summer services. If there is
anyone who would like to
share a musical talent – play
or sing – please let me know
and we can look at the possi-
bilities.
I would like to thank the
Apostle congregation for their
continued support of the
Chancel Choir and the New
Beginning during the past
year. Your continued interest
in our music has been very
much appreciated. I would
also like to thank the mem-
bers of the New Beginning
and the Chancel Choir for
their participation and their
enthusiasm as they continue
to share their talents with all
of us. May God continue to
bless our musical efforts!
Blessings
Carl

I, Heidi Sether, am a
Presbyterian. What is a
Presbyterian? What am I?
I guess you could say that
I’m a believer in faith and
God, but I’m much more
than that. I believe in the
impossible, in the unimag-
inable, in the things that
you can’t see, like God. I
believe that one day I’ll be
face to face with Jesus and
God, but that won’t be for
awhile. There are more
questions that I’ve been
needing to ask. What am I
called to do? What is the
church called to do? What
is the church? Who is the
Holy Spirit? Who is Jesus
or God? What is the Holy
Spirit? These are the
things that I have won-
dered about and been
asked about my whole life
ever since I started Sun-
day School. I can answer
these, but there are some
that I don’t know the
whole answer to. I believe
I am called to learn about
God, follow His command-
ments, and teach others
about Him. As time goes
by, I will learn more about
what other things I am
called to do, but for right
now I need to follow those
three things. The church is
called to teach us more
about God. I hope to be-
come a bigger part of the
church so I can learn what
I can do for others in our
church. The church is not
only God’s house or a wor-
ship home, but I also think
of the church as my home.
The church helps me in so
many ways, some I don’t
even know, and I know I
am always welcome there.
I’m so thankful I have an-
other place to feel com-
pletely welcomed. To me,
the Holy Spirit takes over
me, is always inside of me
and is my love for God. I
thank the Holy Spirit be-
cause it gives me my faith
and love for God. Jesus
and God are my saviors
and guiding spirits. They
help me realize right from
wrong, love from hate,
what worship is, how to
worship, and so much
more. My last question is
what is a scripture? A
Scripture is a lesson from
the bible. Sometimes
they teach you so much,
sometimes you can’t un-
derstand them, it’s all
your perspective. That’s
how I feel. Going back to
my second question
makes me realize some-
thing. I may be a believ-
er to someone, but to oth-
ers I may not believe in
the right things. I guess
that question will never
be answered because the
answer is how you look at
me. So who am I? I am a
girl sent down from God
to express what I learn
and help others learn
about God too. I, Heidi
Sether, am a Presbyteri-
an.
STATEMENT OF FAITH by Heidi Sether
Page 8 ACTS OF APOSTLE
STATEMENT OF FAITH by Darby Shotton
my heart and reminds me
to give and receive love.
In the church I believe we
care called to speak the
word of God. What I mean
is that we all aren’t just
meant to come to church:
we are meant to take what
we’ve learned in church and
share it with the world. We
can’t just keep God’s great-
ness hidden away and
hoarded for ourselves we
must speak for Him. On
the other hand I believe I
am called not just to spread
the word, but to keep it
with me through my life. I
believe I am called to do as
much as I can for God and
His people as I am to do for
people I know. I know I
can’t make everyone believe
in God, but at least I can
try.
I believe that God is my Fa-
ther and He has called me.
I am ready to answer that
call and keep it with me. I
am ready to become a
member of this church.
My name is Darby Shotton,
and I am 13 years old. I go
to Frank Lloyd Wright Mid-
dle School. I have 2 sisters
named Sydney and
Delaney. Some of my hob-
bies are playing sports,
playing piano and trumpet,
and babysitting my sisters.
I believe in the Father, Son
and Holy Spirit. My God is
the creator of all things liv-
ing, not living, and soon to
be living. I believe He is the
ultimate leader: I also be-
lieve He gave us the Ten
Commandments for a rea-
son and that reason is to
guide us in life and the
Christian faith. I believe
His son Jesus Christ is my
savior. He came from heav-
en in my image to show
people how to act and live.
He died on the cross to
cleanse me of my sins and
rose from the dead to give
me eternal life. Lastly, I
believe in the Holy Spirit. I
believe the Holy Spirit fills

Friends propel you– enemies obstruct you:
Friends know where you’re going and help you get there. Critical-critics always want their way.
Friends correct privately-enemies criticize publicly:
Cowardly enemies criticize you when you aren’t present. They pretend to help while causing
damage. They destroy relationships, question motives, and deflate morale. Friends, on the
other hand, know you and secretly call you aside.
Friends sharpen-enemies dull:
Correction builds on strengths. It strengthens strengths. Criticism fixates on weaknesses
while minimizing strengths. Many naturally tend to see weaknesses to fix. Fix less and
sharpen more. Train yourself and your friends to sharpen your strengths and soften your
weaknesses.
Beware the sweetness:
Skillful enemies pretend they care about you. When you receive suggestions from others
Ask yourself “Where does listening to you take me?” then make the right choice yourself.

All we see, all that we don’t,
What we feel and touch,
What may seem to be real,
What we struggle NOT to feel…
In time surpassing our knowledge and understanding
It must be remembered,
It’s God’s time, not ours.
When all seems bad and much more than worse,
We all live a seemingly Godless curse.
Look ahead, strong and true, and sooner than later
You will see the Lord’s love for you...so true!
The truth of the Lord, so strong and pure.
Without this sovereign divinity, we wouldn’t be here.
Do not give up on Him, as He has not on you!
Stay strong and keep pushing through!!!
THE HEAVENS ABOVE by Drew Cebuhar
Thank YOU! Apostle’s caring and supportive family has truly blessed us in ways beyond measure! We are immensely grateful for all the acts of kindness we’ve experienced during Mike’s treatments. Thank you also for those who have stepped in and helped out when Marilyn wasn’t able to fulfill responsibilities. “Thank you” seems so trite however it comes from our hearts. Your continued prayers are appreciated.
Mike and Marilyn Stone
Thank you to my friends!
The fellowship and the plant was SUPER. So glad everyone came to see me. Come back soon.
Always, Maryann
To Everyone At Apostle,
Thank you all for your prayers and cards. We really appreciate them and they sure help to lift our day. Greg will be starting Chemo on Friday April 20th and we would ask for your
continued love and prayers.

A TIME FOR THANKS………….
FROM GOOD SAMARITAN OUTREACH
Dear Apostle Youth,
If you read any of the newspapers lately, you probably saw stories about how the shelves in
the food pantries are getting bare. Because of people like you, we are still able to provide food
for our clients.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your donation. I think we can all agree
on the fact that everything costs more these days. These are very difficult economic times.
Jobs are few and far between with lots of competition for each one. It seems like everything
is going up in price and it costs more for energy every day. It is getting harder and harder to
find an extra few bucks or some extra clothing we might not need anymore, or household items
to part with. Your sacrifices are appreciated by all of us at Good Samaritan and by our cli-
ents.
It is your goodwill that is allowing us to continue in our mission to give a helping hand to those
less fortunate than ourselves. We provide the basics, like food, clothing, a bar of soap or a
toothbrush along with many other things people need. Our clients wouldn’t be able to have
these things without your help.
Any of you working with kids or youth groups should get an extra pat on the back because you
are teaching our next generation that there is more to life than just ourselves. Helping others
is important and this is a lesson that folks need to learn as young people and keep close as they
grow up.
Again, thanks to all of you. Without you, we wouldn't be here.
Your continued efforts to support our
Mission are appreciated. Happy Easter!!
Sincerely,
Good Samaritan

Dear Apostle Family,
As you may have heard, Dick and I are quitting the cooking scene at Apostle. We
have loved every minute of it, except the two days it took us to recover. Health
concerns for us both make it impossible to do more.
None of our meals would have been possible without the hard work of Janice Bran-
dos and Walt Stover (our right hands). Also Jane Pagel, Vera and Roy Bernhardt,
Barb Christianson, the teens, Mark and Brenda Thomas, Phyllis Melzer and many
many more. I guess it does take a village!!!!!
You have baked for us, supported us and most of all you have blessed us.
Thank you all, we love you,
Dick and Karen Cushing
