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.
