Church Services and activities

Corona Virus

As  many of you are aware, the CDC has updated their guidance on masks and  the Ohio Department of Health is allowing all of their Pandemic Orders  to expire on June 2nd. 


Because of these changes, at the May Elder's Meeting  it was decided that beginning on June 6th Holy Cross  will return to a more normal routine for worship.


The offering plate will remain in the Narthex.   It will be taken up to the altar  during the service, so please have your envelope in the plate before the offertory.


Holy Communion will be at the rail with the  common cup again available. 


We will be removing the restrictions for  pews being left open and masks will not be required if you have been  fully vaccinated. 


For those not vaccinated you are still encouraged to  wear a mask in order to keep yourself and others safe. 


The recording of the service is no longer being done.  You are engouraged to resume attending services.

Sunday School

Heavenly Harvest Food Pantry

Vacation Bible School

Sunday School meets each week after worship services to teach the good news of Christ’s life, death and resurrection to our children and youth. Sunday School begins with an opening devotion in the church sanctuary at 10:15, and then children are dismissed to classes ranging from pre-kindergarten to post-confirmation.  Teachers employ some very fun and innovative techniques during classes, including play-acting, props, and crafts, that make lessons inviting and memorable.  As part of the Sunday School curriculum, students also have the chance to perform Christmas and Easter pageants for the congregation. This is their opportunity to share their love for God with members of the congregation.

Vacation Bible School

Vacation Bible School

During the summer, most often in June, Holy Cross holds Vacation Bible School (VBS), a week-long program of Bible stories and learning. Holy Cross conducts VBS between 6:30 and 8:30 in the evening so that all family members have the opportunity to attend. VBS includes Bible study, singing, games, arts and crafts, and socializing, and is energizing for children and adults alike.
