Ushers Needed
We are looking for someone who is willing to serve as an Usher for the 10:30 service on the 4th Sunday of each month. If you are interested in joining the Ushering ranks please reach out to Harry Marchant via email [email protected].
Thank you!!!!
Back to School Blessings
Holy Cross students of all ages are encouraged to bring their ready-to-go backpacks on Sunday August 19 at the 10:30 service to receive a Special Blessing as they head off to a new year of learning. There will be a Back to Sunday School at 9:30 and Children's Chapel during the 10:30 service that day as well.
Bless other students in need
From this coming Sunday through August 12th there will be baskets in the Narthex for school supplies and gently used backpacks to be given to children in need. Our first group will be those to whom we give POWER PACKS each week at Hickory Tavern Elementary School, some children in our own Hispanic Congregation of whom Fr. Fred has made note, and if sufficient are given, we will add some from Simpsonville Elementary to be determined by teachers there. Goodwill has lots of backpacks for $2-4 that are in good condition if you don't have a little one's to pass along when they get their new one in a few weeks! It is essential that children have what they need if they are to be given the best opportunity to learn the skills needed to succeed in the world.
Supplies are already on the shelves at Walmart, Dollar Tree and local drug store where SALES are on. Staples also has a great deal on school stuff as well. It would be a good idea to get them prior to the rush. If you do not have time and prefer to donate $$$ to assist, see Trisha Thackston-Ganner or place a "School Supplies $$$" envelope in the plate on Sunday.
A list of needs will be posted in the Narthex as well.

We are working to improve the overall user experience with our website My Holy Cross aka CCB.
Our website is one big directory and searching for one another makes the experience even better if you are able to match faces and names. There are two ways to add your picture to your profile.
To do it yourself, you can log into your profile and click on the round grey circle at the top next to your name. Click inside the circle and follow the prompts from your computer.
You may also email your picture directly to the church secretary at [email protected] and she will upload your picture to your profile for you.
POWER PACKS
School is out for summer! Thank you to everyone who took the time to pack the bags, deliver to Hickory Tavern, and contribute food and funds during the school year.
We ask that you continue to remember Power PACKs when purchasing groceries over the summer, but please look for an expiration date of no sooner than October 2018 so that food will keep until the next school year. Monetary donations are also accepted and will be held in a designated account until needed. Please make checks payable to Holy Cross and put "Power PACKs" in the memo line.

Thank you for your support of this ministry to our community.
