The Ladies Society reflects the mission of the Holy Apostles Orthodox Church by promoting spiritual growth, providing opportunities for parishioners to bond as family, and practicing serving those in need. Led by Denise Reetzke, the sisterhood is a key pillar of our parish life.
Spiritual Growth
The Ladies participate in book studies and Bible studies throughout the year, as well as Lenten retreats (in-person and on Zoom). We decorate the church for Nativity, Pascha, and Pentecost, adorn the icons, and organize the baking of Prosphora (Holy Bread).
Bonding as Family
We gather for quarterly meetings at restaurants, Secret Sister gift exchanges, and our St. Anna Slava. The Ladies coordinate the weekly Sunday Fellowship meals, cooking, cleaning, and keeping our temple beautiful as our home in Christ.
Serving Those in Need
Our almsgiving covers needs inside and outside our parish with food, clothing, school supplies, and furniture. Core programs include the Freezer Ministry, College Student support, Card Ministry, and our annual Christmas Cookie Sale and Virtual Auction.
