The Church of the Holy Cross is served by wonderful clergy in the Rev. Richard Ahlquist and the Rev. Deacon Susan Southwick. You can hear the sermons for 2024 by clicking the links below.
Children’s Church
Children’s church is offered for children, ages 3 to 7. Children are encouraged to actively participate in the children’s church worship service in ways that are meaningful for them. We sing, pray, light candles, read from the Bible and listen to a lesson. The children take turns preparing the altar. We also incorporate the use of the Book of Common Prayer. Everyone returns to the main service to participate in Holy Communion with their family.
Children's Church is offered September through May.

Flower Guild
The Flower Guild of Holy Cross is a group of parishioners who love flowers, flower arranging, and Holy Cross church. A member of our Guild arranges flowers each week for our Sunday services.
We work closely with the Altar Guild on Easter, Christmas, the Bishop’s visit and all special occasions to make our church beautiful to the glory of God. We meet annually, as a group, for fellowship and to share designing techniques. If you have a gift of floral design or a love for this ministry, come join us.

Pastoral Care
Pastoral Care at Holy Cross is composed of a dedicated group of faithful folks that serve on the Prayer Team, the Meal Team, or the Card Team.
-
The Prayer Team currently consists of 29 members. Email updates are sent to the team as prayer requests are needed for our Holy Cross parishioners. A complete list of all prayer requests is found in our weekly church bulletin. Team members are asked to pray daily for all the people on the prayer list.
Parishioners are encouraged to alert the church staff when they are scheduled for surgery or having serious medical issues and would like to be placed on the prayer list. Anyone may request prayers for someone who needs our prayers. If a parishioner would like a call or visit from our priest, please notify the church office and one will gladly be arranged.
-
The Meal Team ministry consists of 4 teams with 4 members on each team. A meal is offered to parishioners after hospitalizations, serious illnesses, or following the death of a family member. The team is often called upon to help meet parishioner’s needs. This might be a ride to a doctor’s appointment, running errands, or a phone call or visit to check on parishioners and offer encouragement.
-
The Card Team consists of a faithful group of ladies who remember parishioners by sending handwritten cards. Charlotte Scarborough sends birthday cards to each Holy Cross member on their special day. Sue Peterson sends get well and sympathy cards to folks as needed.
