November is a wonderful time to connect, give thanks, and share in the life of our church community. Lutheran Church of the Cross welcomes you to join us for worship, fellowship, and the many opportunities to gather throughout the month. Visit our announcements and calendar to see what’s happening at Church of the Cross in November, find an event that interests you, and plan a time to stop by. We look forward to welcoming you and sharing the warmth of the season together.

As you likely know, there is an increasing need for food in the system. We have been supporting the Emergency Food Pantry and will continue to do so. They would really appreciate anything that is shelf stable: vegetables, mac and cheese that can be made with water, canned tuna or chicken, soups, instant potatoes, etc. Proteins are especially welcome. 

They are serving 70+ families per day, and are also in need of volunteers as some have gone south for the winter and these numbers are overwhelming. Thank you for helping in any way you can! Ask Pr. Lisa or Jim or Kay Miller if you want more info on the Food Pantry.

Also, Bridges of Hope has let us know of their urgent need for women’s winter coats, for women who are being released from prison. Larger sizes, XL to 3X, are especially needed. (If there are none, women are being released with just a couple of sweatshirts and told to layer them.)

The basket is also out for hats, gloves, scarves for folks who keep warm at the Public Library. Any other warm items are welcome, and we will distribute to agencies who will get them to those in need.
