Mission Statement
To spread the Good News of our Lord Jesus Christ with love
and grace to all those who are seeking to know Him through
worship, study and outreach.
Holy Cross is ...
- the people - we are a diverse community, but united as
living members of our Savior Jesus Christ, striving to
follow His teachings and examples in our daily lives!
- music - a blend of traditional hymns from the Episcopal
Church's 1982 Hymnal and contemporary songs from various
sources.
- casual - dress as you feel comfortable, God doesn't care
what you wear and neither do we!
- growing and learning - we are new and sometimes stumble,
but our Lord continues to lead and guide us on our journey,
creating opportunities to serve Him and adding to our
numbers!
- looking forward to welcoming you to our family!

Mission of Episcopalians for Global
Reconciliation (EGR)
The Episcopal Church and the
Millennium Development Goals - See What the "Power of One Can Do"
Our Commitment
As Christians we are called to carry on Christ's work of
justice and reconciliation in the world. This social engagement is
inherent in our faith: God demands it.
We are allies with everyone who is working for the eradication of
extreme poverty by meeting the Millennium Development Goals.
Together we will:
- Hold our leaders accountable for keeping the promise to
achieve the Millennium Development Goals.
- Advocate for a shift in economic policies and practices of the
citizens, corporations and government of the U.S.
- We work primarily within the Episcopal Church and the
worldwide Anglican Communion. Together we will:
- Encourage ongoing renewal through prayer and action for
global justice and reconciliation.
- Give 0.7 percent of our personal, congregational, diocesan
and national church budgets towards the Millennium Development
Goals.
- Use our power as citizens and a church community to
advocate for the necessary changes in U.S. policy to
accomplish the Millennium Development Goals
