Kool Kidz 4 Christ Food Drive
From Easter, April 4 through Mother's Day, May 9, Kool Kidz 4 Christ will be holding a food drive to benefit the Nazareth Area Food Bank. We would appreciate if everyone could bring at least one item to donate. You may place your items in the box located in the Narthex. Some possible ideas would be canned items, boxed items, and any other non-perishable items. Thank you for your help!

April's Lunch 'N' Learn
This session will be held on April 25, and is entitled "The Sacraments : Baptism and Holy Communion." It will begin at Noon in the Fellowship Hall with pizza for lunch. The class will end at 1:30 p.m. To sign up for pizza RSVP by calling the Church Office (610-759-7363) or email (holycross1975@aol.com) by the Saturday night before and leave a message. Please keep in mind that we always need an adult volunteer to be the "pizza runner;" so let Pastor John know if you can help in this role!
