Events

 Easter Basket Assembly Party

God’s Little Rascals (grades 6-8) will assemble Easter Baskets on Sunday, March 16th in the fellowship hall at 12:15 p.m. 

Stations of the Cross
Good Friday 11:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m.
(30 minutes prior to service)

Join us on Good Friday to walk the Way of the Cross. Walking the Stations of the Cross is a devotion that is centuries old. Each station recalls points along Jesus' journey and provides an opportunity for prayer and reflection. The object of the Stations is to help the faithful to make a spiritual pilgrimage of prayer, through meditating upon the chief scenes of Christ's sufferings and death. At 11:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m., thirty minutes before each Good Friday service, Karen Hong will lead those gathered in praying the Stations of the Cross. Special devotional material is available for children. Please let Karen (314-434-0546 or layministry@holycrosselca.com) know if you would like a copy. Join us for the journey.
