Making of the Palm Crosses

Saturday, 4/12 @ 10 AM

Join us at 10 am on April 12 for the making of Palm Crosses, a cherished tradition in preparation for the upcoming Holy Week. Participants of all ages are welcome to engage in this hands-on activity, where we will craft crosses from palm fronds. We will also be stuffing Easter Eggs and making a Holy Week devotion for your home. Materials will be provided.

Palm Sunday

Sunday services: 4/13 @ 8 AM and 10 AM, followed by Stations of the Cross at 5 PM

Join us this Palm Sunday for our worship services at 8 AM and 10 AM, where we will gather to celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. Both services will feature the procession of palms, uplifting hymns, and a message of hope and reflection as we begin Holy Week. (At 10 AM, the children will start the processional entry and then go to their Godly Play classes.)

Later in the day, we invite you to our 5 PM Stations of the Cross, a solemn journey that commemorates the events of Christ’s Passion. This reflective service provides an opportunity for prayer and contemplation as we remember the sacrifice of Jesus. **Student Ministry will participate in the Stations of the Cross on 4/13 instead of the usual “Sunday Night Live”

Stations of the Cross

guided: Sunday, 4/13 @ 5 PM and Friday, 4/18 @ 6 PM

open all week to visit using our self-guided booklets

Experience the profound journey of the Stations of the Cross at Church of the Apostles. This meaningful practice will be available on our property throughout the week, allowing individuals to reflect and meditate at their own pace.

Guided options will also be offered on Palm Sunday, April 13 at 5 PM, and Good Friday, April 18 at 6 PM. (On Good Friday 4/18, a children's group will be available to include families in this sacred tradition.) Join us as we walk together in faith and contemplation.

Maundy Thursday

Thursday, 4/17 @ 12 PM and 6 PM

NOON: At 12:00 PM, we will hold a Holy Eucharist with a solemn foot washing ceremony, reflecting on Jesus' act of humility and service.

6:00 PM: In the evening, participate in Holy Eucharist and the poignant Stripping of the Altar, symbolizing the abandonment of Jesus in the hour of His trial. Children's Godly Play will be available during the evening service, providing a thoughtful space for our younger congregation members. We invite you to take part in these meaningful observances as we prepare for Good Friday and Easter Sunday. (Nursery is also available during this service for infants - 2 yrs.)
