YOUTH THANK YOU: THANK YOU...to Everyone who helped with donations for the youth retreat on January 6-7. We had about 40 people in attendance, of which about half were youth and half were adults. Five churches, three from Iowa West and two from Iowa East had youth attend. It was a time of great learning and fellowship!
THANK YOU!
Thank you to all the many volunteers who have helped over the past year. In addition to special event volunteers, we also had over 30 members scheduled to volunteer either weekly or monthly in 2022. They served as greeters, filmers, ushers, streamers, and altar guild members. Thank you to each of you for all you do here at Holy Cross. These volunteers are listed in your member schedule book. Please take the time to thank them.
MEMBER REMINDERS:

• All Holy Cross families have a mailbox in the entryway. Boxes are for Holy Cross business as well as personal messages/items between members. Please check your mailbox on a regular basis.
• All Holy Cross families have a church key that opens the church doors on the main floor as well as the basement. It also unlocks the church garage.
• If you are the last person in the church on the main floor or the basement level, please turn off the lights and lock the doors for that level. Doors are locked  using an allen wrench that hangs from the upper part of the door and is inserted into the crash bar of the door and turned until the bar pops out.
