A Service of Remembrance

Before the holiday season begins, Church of the Cross is hosting a service to remember and give thanks for those we love who have died. It will be a time to both grieve and celebrate as we prepare our hearts for entering the Advent and Christmas seasons. It is to honor both those who have passed away recently or a while ago, and both those who died after many years or right at the beginning of their lives. This contemplative service will include the celebration of communion and a time to name together those who have died. Please consider inviting a friend or family member who is grieving or someone who would welcome a sacred space to celebrate the memory of a cherished person.

Cross Reads: "Free of Charge" by Miroslav Volf

Free of Charge by Miroslav Volf invites us to consider how a Christian can embrace the practices of giving and forgiving in an increasingly graceless culture that assesses little value to either but which are clearly modeled for us in God's generosity toward us and Christ's sacrifice on our behalf. Theologian Volf draws upon a myriad of literary and theological sources, including the words of the Apostle Paul and Martin Luther, as he reflects on the centrality of giving and forgiving in the Christian life. We hope you'll read and join the discussion! Questions? Email Lauren Mitchell.
