Dream Fund Update

Can you see the new Family Center at Holy Cross, our multipurpose gymnasium/sanctuary/banquet center to help serve so many ages within the Clarence community? Remember that vision focuses on what 'could be' and 'should be' at Holy Cross; it's about 'possibility thinking'. So go ahead: close your eyes and walk through the building. Pray for God to bless the Dream Fund and to make this vision a reality.

Bible Quote for the month:

“When the earth and all its people quake,
it is I who hold its pillars firm." ~Psalm 75:3

Ask yourself :

•Who is Jesus? Everyone who hears the Gospel is forced to make this decision. Was he, (is He),God, prophet, wise-man, teacher, lunatic? Weigh the evidence carefully before you decide. Pray for guidance. Go to church. Keep an open mind and open ears. It is a matter of life and death.
