Annual Meeting
Holy Cross Church held its Annual Meeting following the service on March 6. A Potluck lunch proceeded the meeting. Mo Hawxhurst, as the Sr. Warden, called the meeting to order. The budget was adopted. Delegates to the Diocese of the West Synod to be held in June were elected.
Craft and Recycle Sale
The women of Holy Cross held a successful Craft and Recycle (i.e. rummage) Sale on November 7th in the Church parking lot. There were several tables of crafts including items for babies, the home, the holidays, and baked goods. Leftover items of clothing, etc, were donated to charity. The proceeds were used in part to sponsor a needy single mother and support the Food Bank.
Room for the Children
Recently a room that had been used for storage was repurposed for the use of the children. Now it is an inviting space for retreat during the service, use as a Sunday School room or a place the children can play while adults visit after the service. Already the little ones are enjoying the change.
Clay Play Days
In April, the crafting group met to make porcelain clay ornaments guided by Maryella Fetzer. Using cookie cutters they had fun forming the various shapes. In May they prepared the ornaments for finishing and painted them with the glaze. They will meet at least one more time to work with the glaze and then the items will be fired to finish these charming ornaments.
