Celebration Worship & Picnic
Holy Cross Celebration Sunday will be held Sunday, August 20,
with ONE combined worship service at 10:00a.m. and
an old fashioned "Community Picnic" (= a Church Picnic for the whole community!)
with food provided by our Youth Groups and fun and games for the whole family.
Bring a dessert to share.
Church members, friends, school families, and the community are invited to celebrate with us! Door prizes will be held and lots of give-aways! It’s the official kick-off of the School Year & the Fall2017 FaTHoM Discipleship/Christian Education program. Let’s celebrate together!
No other worship services held that weekend.
