Our second Pentecost Picnic was again a wonderful celebration this year! We welcomed the Holy Spirit with food, music and fellowship, inside and outside. Our Holy Cross Barbecue Chefs outdid themselves with bratworst on the grill, and we had an abundance of potato salad, baked beans and desserts. We will celebrate again in the fall with Oktoberfest, so watch for the date and join us!

On the first Sunday each month, immediately following our 11:00 service, members and guests gather in the Undercroft for The Continuing Feast. The fellowship is lively, and the food is abundant. Holy Cross' tradition of delicious meals is continued in the kitchens of our members today and shared at our pot luck lunch. Several favorite dishes are expected each month. The ECW has compiled a cookbook of valued recipes, and its sale makes possible the ECW's work in our community. Please join us for food and table fellowship!
