All are welcome! For information, speak to Kathy M, Wendy, or Glynis.

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.

There is a signup poster in the narthex for two-hour work sessions, October 26 to November 6, most weekdays Monday to Friday, mornings from 10:00 AM to noon, afternoons from 12:30 PM to 2:30 PM, and a few evenings from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM. Sign up for one or more, bring a bag lunch and do both a morning and an afternoon in one day. Sign up with a friend and talk almost the whole time. Tea, coffee, and tap water provided. Instruction, supervision, tools, and supplies (special glue, tape, Japanese repair papers, touch up colours) provided. Bring sharp paper scissors if you have a pair, bring a bone folder if you have one, but neither required. If you miss church service opportunity to sign the poster, phone Gloria during her office hours and get her to put your name on the poster to reserve your spot. Maximum per session: John and-or Donna plus four volunteer positions.

The book hospital work does not require strong muscles nor good hearing but has some fiddle factor. Learn a skill for your own books at home. Free labour makes it a great savings for our parish compared to buying new books. Questions? Call Donna or John Uncles at 403-288-7636.

All are welcome!

In preparation for our Diocesan Synod, taking place October 23 and 24, the Synod Steering Committee has chosen a theme of “Living in Hope.” We wish to show a video presentation on this theme during our time together over the two days. We need your help. We would love to have your submissions of photos or videos on how your Parish is Living in Hope. How does your Parish offer the Hope of Christ in its ministry, its worship, its mission? Please send in your submissions to the Diocese office by September 30. Email ctubman@calgary.anglican.ca.

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.
