Quilting
On Tuesday mornings at 10:00 am at Holy Cross the ladies get together for quilting. You do not need to be an experienced sewer to come and help out! There are many steps to making a quilt and your talents will be used and appreciated!
Little Dresses for Africa
Little Dresses for Africa is a Christian nonprofit located in downstate Brownstown Township near Detroit. Simple dresses are made out of pillowcases, elastic and binding and are distributed through orphanages, churches and schools in Africa and elsewhere. Little Dresses for Africa has sent over 10 million dresses to 97 countries.
Each year during Lent our small quilt group turns from making Mission quilts to making Little Dresses. This year we made 150 dresses to be sent downstate and added to the others gathered from around the country, making their journey to a little girl in need.
Holy Cross quilters are always in need of new or gently used pillowcases, 1/4 inch elastic, thread, and queen or king size sheets. The quilt group meets on Tuesday mornings and we always welcome new members! Melissa Treadeau



2019 Sunday School Christmas Program


Christian Education
In our community of faith we learn from each other what it means to follow Christ in our daily life through biblical and Lutheran identity. While groups may meet separately based on age we value the practice of inter generational discipleship. Adults learn from children a simple trust in God, while children model adults by what they do and say. We help each other live out our faith in daily discipleship learning what it means to embody faith in our world. In this, we share the good news of Jesus Christ in word and deed to our neighbors and community.

march Easter Faith Formation. . .
. . .As evening approached, Joseph went RIGHT to Pilate and asked that Jesus’ body be LEFT for him to bury. With Pilate’s consent Joseph took the body RIGHT down from the cross and wrapped it in linen. He LEFT the body in a tomb cut out of rock. Then he rolled a large stone RIGHT against the entrance of the tomb.
RIGHT on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome LEFT to go to the tomb. They LEFT just after sunrise. They were going to apply spices RIGHT to Jesus’ body. When they arrived they were LEFT in shock. The very large stone had been rolled RIGHT away. They entered RIGHT into the tomb and saw a young man dressed in a white robe. He was sitting on the RIGHT side. He told them not to be afraid because Jesus had risen and had already LEFT the tomb. He instructed the women to go RIGHT to Jesus’ disciples and let them know that Jesus had risen.
