Plans are being made for a Sunday School program beginning in September.

A meeting will be held on Saturday, June 6 at 10:00 AM for all those interested in planning, teaching, being a second person assisting a teacher, creating lessons or just bringing ideas.

We want Sunday School to be one of our important programs for this fall, and the planning has to start now.

Please let Rev. Deacon Carol know if you are able to attend.  She will bring doughnuts.

All women are welcome to attend the meeting of the Anglican Church Women (ACW) following coffee hour after the 10:00 AM service. Enjoy fellowship and guest speakers! Speak to Lisa at 403-399-2315 for more information.

This will be the last meeting before going on hiatus for the summer. Come for a potluck lunch!

Thank you to everyone who helped make last week’s Blackbird Singing concert such a success, raising approximately $2,000 for the furnace fund.

Special thanks to the musicians, organizers, ticket sellers, doorman, set-up and take-down crew, sound technician, photographers, and the generous donor of the pies and ice cream. It was a delightful evening with an excellent turnout.

Go to the Gallery page of the website to see some photos from the concert. (Due to a glitch, the photos appear twice twice in the slideshow. Our website IT support team are working on resolving this.)

All are welcome! For information, speak to Kathy M 587-227-5464, Wendy at 403-282-7700, or Glynis at 402-926-6583.

The next session is Thursday, June 18. 

Schedule of book discussions: "Finding Flora" by Elinor Florence on June 18. Our summer read is "The Forgotten Garden" by Kate Morgan to be discussed on September 17. 

Many thanks to Shirley, Mary M, Kelly, Dan, and Claire who tidied up the garden recently.

New members are welcome!

The 31st St. Cyprian’s Venturer Company is holding a yard sale fundraiser on May 30 and 31 from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM  at the Scout hall at 1522 21 Avenue NW. 

About 150 Books of Common Prayer have recently visited the Book Hospital. Broken spines, bruised shoulders, torn edges, loose pages, missing parts, diverse example ailments of a longer list, were given tender care and refreshed for use in our worship services. As stewards of these books, let us continue to treat them respectfully; no writing in the margins, no dog-eared corners, no licking fingers to turn pages, etc. etc. No use of common home tapes such as duct tape, packing tape, gift wrapping tape for home repairs; these tapes yellow and crack and slip and are not as good as proper document repair tape and bookbinder spine tape used for proper long-term repairs.

Please deliver BCPs in need of TLC to one of the sidespersons, noting the affliction you have discovered. The hymn books and Books of Alternative Services are also in need of intervention and restoration. Treat them gently for now, do not give them to the sidespersons, but do watch for a Book Hospital work bee. Training for Book Hospital staff will be provided in the fall for those who might want to join in.

Donations accepted by cash, cheque or e-transfer to donations@holycrosscalgary.org. For more information, speak to Kathy M.

Join us on Wednesdays at 9:30 AM for Holy Communion or at 6:30 PM for Evening Prayer. 

This short service of Evening Prayer consists of scripture, reflection, and prayers. Everyone is welcome.

For more information, please contact Deacon Carol Tubman at ctubman@shaw.ca or call 403-630-9104.

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.

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.

Several of our ministries are looking for new members. 

Altar Guild: Please contact Lynne at 403-276-6423 or email elhubbard123@outlook.com.

Coffee Hosts: Please call Cheryl at 403-274-5976.
