Announcing the Wellness Fair
Tents and Tables Needed for Wellness Fair - Volunteers Too!
As we move into staging mode for the August 2 Back-to-School Wellness Fair, we need a minimum of 9 tents to shelter those staffing the various tables in the hot August sun. We also need 2 card tables. Please consider loaning us one of your tents and/or tables and helping with set up or take down. (The tents and tables can be delivered ahead of time - please be sure they're marked with your name.) Shifts would also include staffing a table to hand out refreshments, school supplies, and other information.
The two shifts for helping with the fair are from 9:00 - 11:30 am and 11:30 am - 2:00 pm.
A sign-up sheet for tent/table loan and volunteering is available in the fellowship hall. Thank you Holy Cross for living/being outreach!

A Note from Rev. Anne Abdy
June 19, 2025
The Spark and the Breath: Seeking Inspiration in Stillness
Lisa Richey's message at Holy Cross encouraged finding renewal in chaotic times through simple acts of creativity, like doing something new each week, as a way to reconnect with one's inner spark. Reflecting on this, Rev. Anne explores the dual meaning of “inspiration”—as both divine breath and creative energy—and invites others to consider how honoring that breath can lead us to deeper motivation, joy, and creative purpose.

Wisdom from Pope Leo XIV
We have a new Pope! Pope Leo XIV. What a joy he brings to the world and an inspiration to each of us as ministers of God’s Word. This quote from him was taken off a Facebook post and it crystalizes for me how God works in our lives and the reach he has within us. Enjoy!
