We commemorate this day by giving generously to support young adults and make a global impact for Christ. Half of the offering benefits World Communion scholarships for undergraduate and graduate students from the U.S. and other countries. The remainder provides grants to support training for worldwide inclusion, diversity, equity, and access.

- On Sunday, November 3rd we will celebrate All Saint’s Day at Holy Cross UMC. I will be creating an Ofrenda for our altar. This is a custom which we borrow from the Mexican culture. It is a way of remembering and honoring those who have died. The Ofrenda will include 8”x10” pictures of members who have died in the last year and 5”x7” pictures of those who have died in previous years. If you would like to have a loved one remembered on our Ofrenda from previous years, we need you to provide a picture. Please include your name and your loved ones name(s) with the picture. The size should be about 5 x 7”. It would be most helpful if you could get the pictures to me or to the church office by Friday , October 25th. You can bring pics on Sunday or drop them off at the office, or you can email them to tracyltennies@gmail.com or text them to 290-327-7072.
