Outdoor Worship Announcement

  During the pandemic, worship across the world has taken on different forms. Holy Cross Episcopal Church adjusted quickly by offering an online Morning Prayer service. After studying the results of a parish survey that went out in June, it is apparent that approximately 50 percent of the congregation is interested in some form of in-person worship.  The vestry took this information and established a committee, led by John Weisz, to determine the most feasible option for a shared in-person wor…

Silent Gifts

‘What goes around comes around’ is a familiar sound bite for those of us of a certain age. I’m one of those ‘of a certain age’ as are many I love and many that I have served as both PE teacher and coach, Professor and Priest.
