Welcome to Church of the Holy Cross

IN THE HEART

Moses, the great leader of the Old Testament, reminds people that the commandments of God are not to be found "up in the sky" but rather are written in their hearts. God's law is embedded in you when you are born.

This week, spend at least 10 minutes a day in prayer that you may give the voice of God an opportunity to be heard in your heart.
