Outreach

Have you ever wondered how you can get involved with your community, meet new friends, share your talents, make a difference in the world, embrace hope, and share the love we learn in our Church Family? At Holy Cross we are committed to living our faith teachings through outreach. When we say about Holy Cross, "Love is Spoken Here," we are shining a light on and supporting the potential for growth, development, creativity, health, and happiness in all people. Below are ways you can use your talents and cause them to multiply through others. Whatever we do, let us do it with glad hearts and open hands.

“Rest: Come Close To God.”

Amidst the hustle and bustle of our lives today there is a peace that can be found in stillness. In the stillness there is renewal of the spirit. With renewal comes a closer connection to God.

Life’s Storms and Sunshine: Finding Grace in the Chaos

There are times when storms are gathering, overwhelming us and we are forced to choose, to wait, to plow on, to crawl back in bed. OR, refocus our energies on the tasks at hand and the awareness that the storms of life will pass.

R-E-S-T and Spiritual Growth

REST (Read-Explore-Study-Thrive), it is the way in which we renew our strength and gain insight and direction. We have been given the ability to solve all problems. The key is in the word "solve." To do that, we need the rest that allows us to refocus, renew energy, and regenerate ideas.
