What can I expect?
How long is a Holy cross service?
In total, a Holy Cross service is about 75 minutes in length. We follow the liturgy for Holy Eucharist Rite Two as outlined in the Book of Common Prayer. Everything you need to know is projected on the screens so you can participate in whatever way you choose. The service begins with the Holy Cross worship band leading the church in music - you can sing along and/or engage with worship however you feel most comfortable. Children and youth are then dismissed for age-specific teaching while adults hear the reading of the Word and an encouraging message from our rector, Fr. Scott Thompson. Children and youth return to their families to celebrate and receive the Communion together.
What's the culture like at Holy Cross?
Sundays at Holy Cross are casual, warm and relaxed. Come as you are, dress comfortably, and expect to feel welcomed as our guest.
What about my kids?
We believe that kids should have a great time learning about Jesus' love for them every single week - and Holy Cross Children and Holy Cross Youth make this a priority. The other thing we make a priority is your children’s safety. Because of that, we have a detailed check-in process for our Holy Cross Children's program the first time that you visit. You’ll want to give yourself an extra ten minutes to get signed in for the Holy Cross Children experience. (or pre-register when you tell us you're coming). Holy Cross Children is offered every Sunday for kids ages infant through Grade 5. Holy Cross Youth for tweens and teens in 6th - 12th grade meets at the same time.
What Do I Do when i arrive?
After parking, follow the walkway into the main doors of the building. You can expect that someone will meet you at the door and welcome you to Holy Cross. As you enter the building, you'll see the welcome desk immediately in front of you. Step up and let us make you a name tag. Don't worry! We all wear one so you won't be singled out in any way. If you choose not to complete the form to let us know you're visiting, we'd love to have you take a minute or two to share your information on the table to the left of the welcome desk. We promise not to spam or harass you! Our friendly welcome team will provide you with a handy brochure that will answer any basic questions you may have (like "Where's the restroom?") and will direct you to our worship space where you can follow the prompts on the screens throughout the service.
What happens after worship?
You're invited to stay after worship for coffee, lemonade, and/or doughnuts along with plenty of friendly conversation. And don't forget to stop by the welcome desk on your way out for a thank you gift from Holy Cross!
