All are Welcome!

Jesus told his followers, "I am with you, even unto the end of the age."

Due to the covid-19 restrictions, we have cancelled worship service at our church building until further notice.

We have a teleconference service on Sunday mornings at 11:00am.

Church of the Cross is now using Zoom for its teleconferencing. The new number to join the teleconference 1-669-900-9128. Then enter 875 9898 7747. If prompted, use the password "worship". Please remember to mute your phone except for the responses and the prayers. If you would like to join the video teleconference, the link is on the bulletin (see below). (Please note that this is a long distance call, so we recommend using a cell phone if you can.) The service includes a familiar hymn, prayers, scripture, and a reflection on the scripture by Pr. Dee. The bulletin for November 22nd, the 1st Sunday in Advent, is on the Worship page. Click on the icon. The meeting will stay open until 12:15pm, so you are welcome to stay on the line and socialize after worship.

Drive-thru communion is on the 4th Wednesday of the month at 6-7 PM.

Bring your own bread, cracker, or wafer and a small cup of grape juice (if you choose). Drive through the Government Alley behind the Church entering on the 44th street side and continue to the parking lot. Pastor Dee Emmert will meet you there. Pastor Dee will bless the bread and will then give you a Blessing.
Remember to observe proper traffic etiquette and things should run smoothly and efficiently. Don't forget to wear your mask!

During this time of extreme need, Church of the Cross is making monthly donations to these organizations until further notice:

WIND Youth https://www.windyouth.org/donate/

River City Food Bank https://rivercityfoodbank.org/

You can use these links to make a personal donation. You can also give to the Cross mission fund directly through our wesite.

This is a time for reflection. Please use some of your time during this quarantine to prayer, read the Bible, and reflect on God's presence even in the midst of crisis.

Pr. Dee is available by phone at 330-858-1760 and by email at dee.e.emmert@gmail.com.
