We are a liturgical church

Liturgy means literally, "the work of the people". Thus, our worship is a participatory experience. Our book of worship is "The Book of Common Prayer", and our music books are the "Hymnal 1982" and the "Holy Cross Parish Family Song Book".  Anyone who is baptized is welcome to receive communion. Anyone not baptized is welcome to come to the altar rail to receive a blessing.

 

Choir

The choir rehearses on Thursdays at 7pm in the Sanctuary, and is open to singers ages 16 through adult. If you are interested in singing in the choir please contact our music director, Walter Hundt, at music@holycrossep.org.

 

Amplification System
Holy Cross services are microphone enhanced for sound clarity throughout the sanctuary.  The speakers are currently located at the ceiling at the front of the Altar.  For those that may need hearing assistance during the service, please speak with one of the ushers when you walk in the Sanctuary.  We have devices available for hearing impaired.

 

Child Care
A nursery is available at all services for children under 3 years of age. Parents are welcome to bring their children to the altar rail for communion or a blessing during communion time, or, if desired, children are welcome to stay in the nursery until the conclusion of the service.
