Holy Communion is offered on the first & third Sundays marked with a (C) on the calendar above for all communicant members of Holy Cross, and any guests who hold communicant membership in a Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod congregation. Those who wish to commune for the first time at Holy Cross are asked to talk with Pastor Schulz or the Elder on duty before the worship service, and we encourage our other guests to speak with Pastor regarding our understanding of the sacrament of the Altar.
