Welcome New Members
Long time Naperville residents and Lutherans, Maggie and Jim Cross are coming to Our Saviours from St.Lukes’ Lutheran Church in Park Ridge. They have two grown children and two grandchildren who live outside the Naperville area. Jim is a working architect who enjoys playing his trumpet in church and with the Naperville Municipal Band. Maggie retired from many years working in the front offices of various downtown and suburban theaters. She now enjoys reading, crafting and their goldendoodle, Mulligan. Together they like to travel and boat and hike around their lake home in Tomahawk Wisconsin. As new members of Our Saviours, they hope to become involved in the strong music program and various social and service opportunities.
