Current Sermon Series – Seasons: Doing Life Together
Church Service – August 2nd
Current sermon series, Seasons: Doing Life Together! As we move into a new church season, we also move into a new season in our lives and in how we are dealing with the current pandemic. We welcome you home to do life together with your family here at Holy Cross. The readings will be about the life of Christ and the ongoing life of the church as we relate them to our ongoing lives during this challenging season. Please join us here or online, at 8:00am or 10:00am, for Doing Life Together!
Streaming To Your Home Continues
Our services will be streamed for your convenience during this challenging time. Choose Facebook if you are a Facebook user, otherwise, watch on Youtube.com/hclm. Many streaming devices such as Roku and Chromecast support Youtube Streaming allowing you to watch from your TV.
Tithes & Offerings
We give because we recognize that God has blessed us immensely and so we honor Him by giving back to Him out of our tithes and offerings. You can give online at hclm.org/give or mail to church address at 780 N Sun Drive, Lake Mary, FL 32746.
Prayer Requests
We have always believed in the power of prayer. If there is something weighing on your mind or want to submit a prayer, let us know through our prayer request form or e-mail prayer@hclm.org.
Unscripted Live Video
Join the Pastors on Thursday at 1:30pm for live video “Unscripted” on hclm.org/unscripted or Holy Cross Facebook page.
Student Ministry Devotions
Attention all Middle School, High School and College students! Our own Mrs. Bosco has worked to create daily devotions just for you! They are currently posted on the Holy Cross Lake Mary Facebook and YouTube page. Check them out!
Seating arrangements
Most of you have noticed the seating spacing at church. We have created groups of seating to allow members of households to sit together while remaining socially distant from other households. We feel that this is the best way for us to adhere to government guidance and care for others as we gather. Please find a seating group that most closely resembles your group size. If there are 2 in your party, pick a set with 2 seats, if all 2s are occupied pick a three and so on. You should not sit in a seating group with another household unless you have frequent interaction with that group outside of church(ie:they are in your inner circle). Thanks for keeping others safe.

Sharing Center – Back to School Supplies
“School days, school days. Dear old golden rule days.” School is starting in just two weeks and whether kids are going back in person or virtually, there are still that need assistance with school supplies in our community. In an effort to help them, we will be collecting school supply donations through the month of August. Grab a supply list off the table in the Narthex and bring items to church with you on Sunday or drop it off in the office during the week. Can’t get out to be able to donate? Purchase from the Church’s Amazon Wishlist and your donation can be delivered directly to the church! Go to https://a.co/cbPsv9x to see the wishlist.
