Fun and Fellowship
Everyone who attends worship at Holy Cross is part of our church family! As a family, we participate in many activities and special events throughout the year. Holy Cross welcomes everyone to attend our activities. Sometimes the goal of an event is community outreach, sometimes the event is service oriented, but the center of every activity is always fun and fellowship!
