We are passionately committed to lifting our voices in prayer, praise and thanksgiving in all aspects of our lives together, but especially in our times of worship celebration. We desire to create worship experiences that reflect the love of God in Christ Jesus and draw out of the worshipper praise to our God who is the author and source of all life, who redeems us by his grace and who enlivens and energizes us by his Holy Spirit.

Worship and Music Ministries News
WORSHIP LEADER/ACOLYTE ROBES... are needing to be replaced. Some worship leaders are requesting that they purchase their own and therefore maintain their own. If you are one who would like to do so, please let Deacon Dee know or call the office (any time, day or night, the machine is on). We are working on getting an outstanding price but for now they run around $75 t0 $100 per robe. If you would like to make a general donation to the fund, you may do so by writing a check or using the pew envelop and putting it toward altar furnishings.
GLUTEN-FREE COMMUNION WAFERS... are now available for those who need them. Please inform Pastor Raggie if this would be helpful for you. You may inform an usher of your need for these prior to the worship service and you will be directed where to go during Communion. A separate chalice of wine will also be available for your use.
USHERS NEEDED... would you like to help in the ministry of Holy Cross? You are here on Sundays anyway, why not help by greeting people and ushering them, helping them to feel comfortable as they enter the doors of Holy Cross. Please consider joining the Usher Team. Speak with Mike Carroll or go to the Information Center to let them know you’d like to help.
EXPANDING OUR MINISTRY... Deacon Chris and Deacon Dee have hit the road! In addition to our weekly Sunday service at the Lakeshore Assisted Living Facility in Ronkonkoma, Holy Cross has now expanded our “Travel Team” to include The Arbors, an assisted living facility in Bohemia. HCLC leads worship there at 10:00 on Saturdays. Interested in assisting with worship? Please see Chris or Dee, or call the church office at 631-588-9509.
CHAUSABLE CHANGE... this is the colorful garment that Pastor wears over her robe. It is used to signal the celebration of Holy Communion. Pastor is now putting it on just before the celebration of Holy Communion as a visual reminder that this loving meal offered by God in Christ Jesus, is in deed a celebration. Just as we dress up for weddings, parties and special occasions, Pastor “dresses-up” for the celebration of the Lord’s Supper.
