Apex Athlete Throwback
Guess Who?
C’mon
Apexers, dig out out those photos! This year at the Christmas party we will
have a photo board of pics of all of us through the years. Submit a photo
(please put your name on the back) in the next few weeks. There will be a
wrapped drop box labeled for the photo board. We will create the board and you
will guess who is in each photo at the party. It doesn’t matter when it was
from but please, no newborn pics. We need to at least have a shot at it! We’d
love to see four-year old Coach Bus in his plaid pants or Susan Z in her 1980’s
fitness instructor gear! So blow the dust off the albums and pick a good one.
You will get your photo back after the party.
*Do not forget to sign up for the Christmas Party! Sign up sheet is located on the check-in desk.

The gift exchange will be apex style, sure to keep everyone on their toes (I mean in your heels) there will be an order that each person goes and picks a gift out of the pile, one at a time people will go get a gift, open the gift so everyone gets to see it, when it's the next person's turn they can either get a gift from the pile or "steal" one of the other gifts that were already opened, once a present is "stolen" from the owner, that person can now go steal another gift or go pick a new one out of the pile...but here's the twist each present will have a card on it with an exercise "10 burpees" "1 muscle up" etc...the only way you will be allowed to steal that gift is if you perform the exercise before the steal can take place :) ...you will have to choose is the gift worth the exercise or not :) This fun may also dictate your attire, or your attire may dictate what gifts you may have to pass up. Each turn will be ON THE CLOCK! All gifts should be $15-20 per participant.

This Sunday, October 27th at the 9am Service, Josh and Tanya will be baptized at LCBC-Branchcreek in Harleysville (on Rt. 63). We want to invite you to share in this exciting day with us. We know many of you have wanted to visit the church and we figured this might be a great opportunity to do so. If you've never been apart of an adult baptism, here is an opportunity to see what it's all about. LCBC is a very welcoming place and you will definitely run into many familiar Apexers who attend LCBC as well. If you are able to make it please plan to arrive 15 minutes early so you can have a front row view of the indoor pool. No guarantees you won't get wet! (seriously it's pool, no joke, you won't believe your eyes!)
FAQ's
