Summer Service Times

We will return to the regular service times after Labor Day.

Gone on the Weekend
While the youth are out of school, summer is a time for trips and vacations. If you are gone for the weekend, remember that Holy Cross has a Monday evening worship service at 6:30pm. Or call the church office and ask for ELS or WELS churches that are located near where ~ou will be.

Annual Voter’s Meeting
Sun., June 29 after 2nd service
All voting members are encouraged to attend. The agenda will include:. 2008-2009 Budget, Board and Committee elections and Release of Endowment Fund income. Annual Reports are available for all Holy Cross members and are on the wooden tables in the Narthex at church.

School Rummage Sale

Please start bringing in your items for the summer rummage sale. If you already have items, you may drop them off in the showers in the gym locker rooms. Thanks!

Vacation Bible School
Mon., July 7—Fri., July11 9:00am - 11:30am
Sign up your child(ren) for this year’s VBS. Send your children, ages 3-12 (preschoolers need to be potty trained), to Holy Cross VBS! To register please contact Holy Cross at 249-3101. We’ll be singing, making crafts, finding, following, knowing, believing and sharing Jesus, enjoying snacks and juice and making friends!

Thank you to all of you who have already volunteered your services for VBS this year. We are still in need of people to help with VBS. Look in the bulletin this Sunday and check areas you can help. Thanks!

Wednesday Mornings
Wednesday mornings are special mornings at Holy Cross. During the summer at 10:00am we gather in the church basement for coffee, treats and a study of God’s Word. Currently we are studying the Book of Acts. If you have Wednesday mornings free, come and join other Holy Cross members for fellowship, gathered around God’s Word.

Wonderful Stewardship Opportunity Approaching!
“For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.” 2 Corinthians 8:9 If you are receiving an economic stimulus check from the IRS, please keep Holy Cross’ needs in your thoughts. As was recently presented by our Board for Stewardship and Finance, this has been a very challenging year financially. Please consider this unique opportunity as a chance to provide a special offering to your church and/or school.
