Holy Cross Happenings
A Prayer for Holy Cross:
Almighty and ever living God, look favorably upon Holy Cross parish during this time of transition as we search for a new rector.
We pray for the life of our parish, that we may continue to be guided by your love and strengthened in our mission to serve you.
We pray for the Discernment Committee, the Vestry, and for hearts and minds open to your spirit.
We pray for the priest whose name is known to you alone, that he or she be open to your call. Give us grace to follow where you would lead us and grant us your peace. Amen.

Join the Holy Cross Chancel Choir!
If you enjoy singing in the car or the shower, consider joining the Holy Cross Chancel Choir. We rehearse on Wednesdays from 7pm-8:30pm in the Skiles Hall Choir Room. Can't read music? No problem. Afraid you can't carry a tune? That's probably false. Afraid of the time commitment? Just talk to Shane. We'd love to have you join this aspect of our music ministry.
