Please join us for a Ladies Tea May 5 th ~ 11:30 am - 1:30 pm Bring a Quilt!  ~  Tell its Story!   We invite you to bring a quilt. The quilt could be one you made or one you inherited—both are wonderful. We simply want to admire its beauty and hear its story.  The sign-up for a dish-to-pass is in the lounge & online.

​ Are you a social media whiz, like to post your family pictures and read funny stories and Memes on Facebook? Do you have a gift for storytelling or enjoy "wordsmithing"? Do you think outside of the box, color outside the lines or just want to get involved in supporting ministry without spending all of your free time doing one task?  If this sounds like you, we want you on our Media Evangelism Team! You don’t need to be an expert, just passionate about spreading the good news about activities that bring God’s children back home to fellowship and love at COTC!  Please contact Cheryl Novas if you want to join the team or click HERE to sign up.

Dates for the SOUTH DAKOTA MISSION TRIP are Saturday, June 23 to Friday, June 29.  This is the sixth year in a row that Church of the Cross has participated in this Presbyterian led outreach to Native Americans on the Sisseton reservation. Volunteers are needed for: Vacation Bible School teachers and assistants, construction and repair work on reservation churches, cook team and work teams. See Stu Truelsen or Jim Vakoc for details.

Many children who will attend Vacation Bible School in Sisseton, SD, love the craft time each day but do not have basic art supplies to use at home. Once again, COTC volunteers would like to give students in grades K-3 some art materials that they can keep for their own use . Many of you donated last fall and we thank you very much! For those of you who would still like to contribute, we still need 50 each of: *child-size scissors, *glue sticks, and *packages of markers (10 pack, thick or thin).  Donations may be placed in the Sisseton basket in the lounge.
