May we hold that truth close to our hearts, reminding ourselves daily of our purpose.

BELL PLATE CHOIR
Whatever is that?? Did you know we have a set of bell plates at
Holy Cross (like hand bells but different design) We are looking for 6 volunteers who would
like to learn how this is done and be ready to "give it a whirl" some time over Christmas.
Never too old to learn something new and it does keep the "little grey cells" in good working
order. Talk to Rodney who has a bit more information.
