Second Sunday after EpiphanyJanuary 18 A memorial service for Catherine (Cate) Nelson will be here on Saturday, January 24 at 11:00 AM. Thank you to John Uncles for the wonderful restoration he has done of our baptismal font. The font was dedicated “In Loving Memory of former Superintendents and Teachers and was presented by members and friends of the Sunday School in 1935.” Thank you, Holy Cross family, for the donation of 11 bags of groceries which were taken to St. Edmund’s food bank recently. The 2026 flower dedication calendar is ready for your requested date(s); dedication forms are in the folder. The cost remains $50.

Memories
Parish Council is looking for pictures and videos of Holy Cross events and gatherings, including of ministry activities, clubs, fundraisers, and generally anything that represents your experience at or with our church. The images will be used for in-house videos, newsletters, and outreach. All images will be vetted for individual security by asking for permission for their use. We will not keep the images that any subject objects to them being made public. Please email Grant (Parish Council Member) at grantlos57@gmail.com if you have any pictures you would like to share. |

Need a ride to church?
We are aware that some members would love to attend services in person but are unable to because of lack of transportation. If you are in that position, we would like to offer you the chance to be driven to services by other parish members. Please contact the office and let Gloria know which service(s) you would like to attend, and we will try to arrange a driver for you. There is a sign-up sheet in the narthex for anyone willing to drive others to church. |
