Joyful Sounds Handbell Choir

 Joyful Sounds is a small but powerful ensemble, and we welcome new ringers! You don’t have to be a member of Holy Cross to ring in the handbell choir. Basic music reading ability is helpful, but if you can count to six you can learn to play this beautiful instrument. Holy Cross owns four octaves of Malmark handbells and three octaves of Malmark chimes. If you have questions about the choir, or would like to join, contact Cheryl Onesky, handbell director, at ne.oh.handbells@gmail.com.

 If you are an older adult or retiree looking to foster friendships, the Amazing Grays may be just what you are looking for. The Amazing Grays meet at Noon on the 4th Tuesday (Jan. thru Oct.), the 3rd Tuesday (Nov.) and a suitable day/time for a Dec. lunch. Parishioners from other churches in the area are welcome to attend. Occasionally we have guest speakers, who may enlighten us on a variety of topics, such as health, safety, insurance, nature, etc. These programs are often informative and/or very entertaining. All adults are welcome! (You don't need gray hair or be over 55 years of age.)
