HOLY CROSS CHOIR - Do you enjoy singing in worship?  Would you enjoy being part of an important and fun ministry?  We are looking to revive the Holy Cross Adult Choir.  Music speaks to the soul in a way that the written or spoken word doesn’t, so please consider joining the choir.  You do not need to read music, just have a willing spirit to learn and make new friends.  Bring a friend and give it a try.  We plan to hold our first rehearsal on Wednesday, September 9th and will sing in worship at 10:00 on Sunday, October 4th.  Feel free  to contact Chris Brand, parish organist and music director, if you have any questions.  You may call him at 612-790-5596 or contact him via email:  brand0821@q.com.
