The Second Sunday after Epiphany
Worship
Welcome to Church of the Holy Apostles! This 10:00 a.m. service is Holy Eucharist, Rite II. The celebrant and preacher is our rector, the Rev. James Stambaugh.
Family Worship Service will be held today at 5:30 p.m.
Over the past several months, the worship committee has discussed changing the version of the Nicene Creed that we use in Sunday worship. Fr. James will hold two informational meetings to discuss exactly what the differences are between the version of the creed that we use and the version of the creed the worship committee would like to begin using. The meetings are open to any and all interested persons. The first will be after 10:00 a.m. worship today, January 14th, and the second on Wednesday, January 17th at 6:30 p.m. Each meeting should last 45 minutes.

Home Blessings – The season of Epiphany is a customary time to have your home blessed by a priest. Fr. James will be offering home blessings during this period starting on Epiphany (January 6th). If you would like to have your home blessed, look for the sign-up sheet in the parish hall.
Flower Memorials: Each week flowers are placed on the altar for the 10:00 Sunday service in memory of loved ones who have died or in thanksgiving for a special occasion such as an anniversary or birthday. The cost for the donation of the flowers is $30. Altar Flower Memorials are open for the following dates beginning in 2018: June 25, July 8, August 12, October 21, and November 5. Please know that the flower memorials automatically renew annually unless you request otherwise, scheduled for the date on the Sunday closest to the original request. To take advantage of this opportunity to honor or remember loved ones with a flower memorial, please notify Patty Wertz of the Altar Guild.
