Virtual Meetings

In an effort to stay connected, to support each other, and to derive as much hope as possible from our faith, we are going to try something new. Instead of meeting in-person for some of our groups, we will be meeting virtually via ZOOM instead.

ZOOM is a free app that works on your desktop/laptop, smartphone, or tablet to connect multiple people. Zoom uses the camera, microphone and speakers on your device. If you can't connect to a meeting via a device, you can also call in to join the group meeting by phone.

Questions or need Zoom assistance? Contact Steve Oelschlager at steve@holycrosschurch.org.

Saturday Men's Group Topic for Saturday, April 11:

Please prepare by reading the three short chapters titled Be a Human Being, Go to Sleep, Find a Hobby from the book Stillness is the Key by Ryan Holiday. All of the material in the book stands on its own, so don’t feel like you are behind if you want to jump in now. We should finish the book in another week, so on Saturday I will present to you a possibility about what we might discuss.
