Mercy:

Mercy is a special gift God gives to certain members of the body of Christ to compassionately and lovingly serve those who are physically or emotionally suffering. Their ministry is clearly identified by deep emotional concern that is evident to those being served.

Opportunities for Service:

Interfaith Hospitality Network

 IHN is a major partner in our ministry of mercy here at Holy Cross. Each calendar year, we are responsible for hosting families with minor children in our community who need emergency shelter. The maximum number of people that can be housed in our church is 14. The host church needs volunteers to provide meals, serve as evening hosts, overnight hosts and van drivers. Each calendar year we host families for a total of 4 weeks.

Partnership in Visitation Ministry

 Please contact our Pastor with your willingness to partner in visitation of a member or contact that needs a listening ear and the ministry of presence. Many times in this visitation ministry, taking worship tapes and service bulletins is greatly appreciated.
