CAYA Gathering Postponed
Due to current renovations, CAYA Gatherings are postponed. CAYA is dedicated to living lives of meaning, impact, and community as we learn to follow Jesus. CAYA longs to connect Millennials/Hipster-Generation to Jesus.
Habitat Buffalo
Thank you, Holy Cross, for supporting Habitat’s vision of eliminating poverty housing from the face of the earth with your January benevolence gift of $121 and $300 from Dash tapes. Habitat International has built more than 1,000,000 houses worldwide providing simple, decent, affordable houses for that many families. At the same time here in Buffalo, Habitat dedicated its 264th house this past January.
Heritage Home
March 29, Palm Sunday, at 10 a.m. will be the monthly visit with our friends at the Heritage Home, just west on Sheridan Drive. The filmstrip Bible story will be “Jesus Triumphantly Enters Jerusalem,” St. Matthew 21 And St. Mark 10 and 11. We will talk about parades they have been to or been in and then this most wonderful of all parades as Jesus prepares to go to the cross to show His great love for us. We will sing, make a simple project, and pray. It is good to go for the visit!
Dash’s Receipts
Please remember to save those Dash’s receipts and get them turned in! The money we receive goes to Habitat for Humanity. Thanks to Lorraine Woodman who continues to tabulate the receipts.
Visitation Care
If you are or will be hospitalized or homebound and desire Christian care from the Holy Cross staff please phone the church office at 634-2332 and/or email Pastor Randy at pastorrandy8900@gmail.com, or contact Pastor Belasic at 716-803-5710 or email dbelasiced@verizon.net to let us know.
