An Invitation to the Consecration of Our New Bishop
 
We have two extra tickets to the consecration of our new bishop on Feb. 26 at 11 a.m. in Columbia. If you are interested, please email sharonwputman@cs.com by February 11.
Men’s Bible Group
This is a small group meeting on Monday mornings for about 1 hour starting at 11am at the church. We discuss the Gospel scheduled for the upcoming Sunday, the historical environment, what it means to us and how we can apply it to our daily lives. Then some of us have lunch together. This is an opportunity for fellowship, meaningful conversation and to learn something. Please come check us out. For more information please contact Dan Donboch at 864-905-7498 or email imjdd@hotmail.com or just show up on Monday morning.
Teens entering grades six through twelve are invited to participate in Holy Cross' Youth Group! We meet most Wednesday evenings during the school year. We gather at 6 and dismiss by 7:50. We share dinner and participate in fun and enriching activities, learning and discussion. Masks are required indoors except while eating, during which strict social distancing guidelines will be followed. Non-youth group families and individuals are invited to provide dinner for our teens. Those who are interested can sign up at bit.ly/hcteensspring22. For more information or to be added to our elist, please contact Rev. Erin at assistantrector@holycrossep.org or 864-967-7470, ext 105.
Fostering a Love of Reading at HCA
 
Remember magical it was to be read to when you were a young child? How those stories ignited your imagination and expanded your world? Story time across the parking lot still has that same effect on the students of Holy Cross Academy, especially when led by a guest reader. During January, a representative from the Greenville Library System visited to read to the children, but more guest readers are needed. Readers from our congregation are always welcome. Could reading to an HCA classroom be your special ministry calling? Call HCA Director Lakisha Pride at 864-963-5986 to learn more and volunteer!
 
Lakisha’s efforts have enrollment back on the rise. By volunteering to read, you can help insure that HCA continues to offer the robust, high quality program for which it is known.
Between the 8 and 10:30 services this Sunday 02/13 the youth will collect non-perishable food items for this year's Super Bowl of Caring! Monetary donations are welcome, too. Donated items will be delivered to United Food Ministries in Greenville. Thank you for caring! 
 
Thanks,

The media team is in need of a few more volunteers. No experience needed. All training and support provided. Reserved seating guaranteed. To serve on media team all that a person needs to be able to do is sit in the booth, follow along with the service, and click the arrow on the keyboard to advance the slide at the appropriate time. The sound board is not that much more difficult. One only had to push the labeled button to queue the correct microphone. All are welcome and training will be provided. If you feel this is a ministry you would like to participate in, please see Lynda Clark, Mike McAllister, or any member of the media team.
The bulletin for every Sunday will be sent out via Eblast on Fridays.
