Life Together

Small Groups are a great way to connect with others outside of the Sunday worship service. By gathering together consistently, we aim for our groups to be places of genuine friendship. Small groups are also the front lines of pastoral care. So when a member has a need, the small group serves as the first responder. 

Growing Together

What do small group meetings look like? Groups gather to grow together through the practices of hospitality, prayer, study, and service. Each group will feature some combination of these three practices. During certain terms all groups will follow the same study. In other seasons, groups select a study from an approved curriculum or simply gather to say Evening Prayer together and read the Scriptures appointed for the day or upcoming Sunday. Group studies may focus on a book of the Bible, a topic, or relevant book study. 

Leadership

Each small group leader is a member of Holy Cross and attends a small group leader training each semester. Each small group will also select a coordinator to handle communications and logistics. 

Childcare

Small groups coordinate childcare based on need. We work together to make our groups as accessible as possible for parents with children.

Adult Sunday School (Sundays at 8:45 a.m. before Holy Communion)

Begins Sunday, September 12

This class will be a look at ten of the greatest (in influence, both good and bad) thinkers in the history of Christianity.

These thinkers have shaped the faith that we have. Understanding them can help us live more deeply in the Trinitarian God of Israel. Fr. Gerry McDermott will be speaking from his book The Great Theologians: a Brief Guide about ten great theologians from church history, the situation of the Church in their days, and what we can learn from them.

You may read along in the book if you wish, but if you prefer, you can simply attend without reading. There will be time in each class for questions and discussion.

Teacher: Fr. Gerry McDermott
