WELCOME TO HOLY APOSTLES
We extend a cordial welcome to you to worship with us, and offer these notes as a brief introduction to Church of the Holy Apostles, and to the Episcopal Church and its ways.
Worship Times
There are three worship services each Sunday, at 9:00 a.m. (Holy Eucharist with Children’s Chapel), at 11:15 a.m. (Holy Eucharist) and at 5:15 p.m. (Contemplative Bluegrass Mass). A Nursery is available during the two morning services. If you have small children, come a little early, so that you can drop them off in the Nursery which is conveniently located along the corridor connecting the church with the Parish Life Center.
Worship Service
As you enter the doors to the narthex of the church, an usher will hand you a service leaflet. This leaflet contains all the directions for what to do, including text for the readings, when to sit and stand, and how Communion works. If you are new to the Episcopal Church, please do not hesitate to ask the person next to you in the pew for help in becoming accustomed to the service of Holy Eucharist. So that we can get to know you better, please fill out a Visitors Card located in the pew rack.
Fellowship
Join us in the Parish Life Center for the coffee social immediately following the 9:00 a.m. worship service. Be sure to look for our greeters with red ribbons on their nametags. They’re here to assist you with questions or directions to Sunday School classes or other Holy Apostles activities.
Orientation and Tour
If you would like a personal orientation and tour of the church, please contact Lee Carpenter or call the church office to make arrangements. We'd be delighted to show you around and answers questions you might have.
You Will Not Be Embarassed
