ALL are invited to an hour of learning & growing together!... AND bagels, coffee, and fellowship are available as well.

Except for certain holiday services, worship at Cross includes the celebration of the Lord's Supper and the involvement of children on various levels. Worship Hosts direct a corps of volunteers who read lessons, write & read congregational prayers, assist with the Lord’s Supper, and help provide a welcoming environment for all. We invite all to the “Open” communion table that we share, regardless of your denominational preferences or membership.
