CHURCH OF THE HOLY APOSTLES
Kids Formation
At COTHA Kids, our ministry for Kindergarten through 5th grade, our mission is for every child to know and love Jesus as their Lord and Savior. We work to achieve this mission by loving and praying for every child, targeted programs, an engaging curriculum, and special events.
Kids Formation
During our 10:30 a.m. service, our kindergarteners through 5th-grade kids get to experience God through their grade-specific Kids Formation Groups. This includes a Bible story, activities, and prayer time. Children return to the main service during the announcements and before communion.
Preparation for Communion
During COTHA's Preparation for Communion classes, children in 2nd grade and up will learn about the sacrament of communion while they're having fun! From a guided tour of the church to hands-on time with the elements of communion to unique activities that explore the eucharistic service from The Book of Common Prayer, children will thoroughly enjoy these experiences designed to help them join more fully with their parish community and the larger communion of saints.
This annual class is held at 10:00 a.m. in the Kids Corner, and children return to the sanctuary with their parents for the Peace. Please see our calendar or contact Emily Matthews-Robleto, Ministry Coordinator for Families and Congregational Life, for current class dates.
Even if your child has been comfortable taking communion, this class will provide background and understanding of how to receive the bread and wine in our Episcopal service.
Junior Daughters of the King
Junior Daughters of the King provides girls or young women (ages 7-21) the opportunity to grow in their love and knowledge of Jesus Christ while serving their church and community. They are an integral part of the Daughters of the King Order and the hope is that they continue the mission of The Order by transitioning to senior Daughters.
JDOK is open to all girls and young women ages 7-21.
If you are interested in joining our chapter, please contact Janevieve Parks.
Family Worship
Family Worship at 9:30 a.m., held in our Student Center, features a modified liturgy with a sermon, singing, and communion in a casual environment that allows your child to act well… like a child! There is also time for you to connect with other parents in a similar stage of life over coffee and donuts, either before or after the service.
