The Newsletter
For the Weekend of September 18, 2016
Welcome to Holy Cross!
If you are visiting with us today, we’d like to say thank you for coming and worshipping together. We’d also like to get to know you better, and give you a chance to connect with us. On some of the seat backs in front of you we have placed Connect Cards. If you fill one out and leave it with an Usher, or place it in the offering plate, it is a great way to let us know that you were here. You can also request more information or to have us contact you by checking one of the appropriate boxes. We hope to hear from you!
