Christian Formation
The very heart of being a Church is our relationship with God in Jesus Christ. For any relationship to continue and grow, we must be intentional about nurturing it.
Holy Cross Provides many opportunities for God's people to gather and explore the many factes of our faith that will encourage personal growth and lead to a fuller, deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.
Some opportunities are traditional Sunday, weekday, and midweek offering, others are build around specific groups or interests, still others, are designed for those who are seeking God. We desire and seek the opportunity to create time and space for you to experience the depth of God's love in the midst of the ordinary and, thereby, be transformed by the extraordinary power of the resurrected Jesus.

Weaving God's Promises The future of the Christian community is our children. Teaching children about Christ's love and sacrifice for us is a vital part of Holy Cross. During the Spring/Summer of 2010, under the leadership of Father Allan McCaslin, Holy Cross brought to life the Renew, Revitalize, Restore effort. A wonderful Sunday School classroom was reborn as one of the many accomplishments. Five Sunday School teachers realized their calling in Christian education, and a new curriculum was adopted. "Weaving God's Promises "is a three-year Christian education program for children ages 3 (preschool) to 11-12 (5th-6th grade).
Our five dedicated teachers rotate weekly. Each one hour class is filled with storytelling, discussion, crafts, prayer, fellowship, singing, and a snack. The activities have flexibility, allowing the younger and older children all to participate fully in learning about God's perfect love. Class begins on Sunday mornings at 9am. If you're running late, no worries, come on in and join us in the fellowship and fun. | Classroom and Nursery |
Adult Christian Education (ACE)Adjacent to our newly renovated children's classroom and nursery is our Adult Education Classroom. Adult Christian Education classes convene from 9:00 am to 10:00 am on Sunday mornings.
Starting Sunday, February 12, we begin our study of the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ to St. John the Divine. This Bible Study will include a teaching on how the Episcopal Church (and all Orthodox Churches) understands and interprets scripture passages on the millenium, the so-called "Rapture," and offers an insightful alternative to the "left behind" theories that trouble so many today. Consider joining in the lively discussion every Sunday! |
