† Blood Drive †
Sunday, July 27th, 8:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
The need for blood donors is always great, but shortages often occur in the summer months. This summer Holy Cross will be holding a blood drive, on July 27th. Stay tuned for more information.
† FBISD Shared Dreams Clothing Program †
Have your children outgrown school clothes? As you put away those school clothes this summer, please look for items that you can donate to Shared Dreams in August. Fort Bend ISD’s Shared Dreams Clothing Program provides gently-used clothing and shoes to students identified by campuses as needing assistance. If your children or grandchildren have outgrown clothing, please save those items to be donated in our August drive. Thank you!
What We Do, Why We Do It, and How To Get Involved
What we do - The goal of the Social Outreach Ministry is to improve the living conditions of those in need in our community, our country and throughout the world. Feeding the hungry, clothing those without adequate clothes, building homes for others, and sharing Christmas gifts to bring neglected children joy are some of the tangible ways for each of us to love one another.
Why we do it - We believe that reaching out to our community and the world creates a better place to live for those less fortunate, while enhancing our experience of God. Jesus Christ teaches that through opportunities to give, we grow and benefit greatly as we serve others.
Getting Involved - Holy Cross has a Social Outreach Ministry Team that plans and spearheads a number of outreach projects each year. The team heartily welcomes new members and new ideas on how to best help those in need.
Many of the outreach projects ask the entire congregation to donate needed items or time to help others. Outreach is a ministry in which all church members can participate by responding to the call for needed items.
