Fellowship & Nurture

Cross nurtures its members

The Fellowship Committee hosts many varied fun family and adult events throughout the year. Some examples include: chilli cook off, Easter breakfast, Trunk & Treat at Rams Horn Restaurant, Christmas decorating of the church, Cross Family Christmas, The Motor City Chorale Concert, a Swingshift concert, during six weeks of the Lenten Season we begin with Soup Supper on Ash Wednesday with a video series each Wednesday evening.

The Nurture Committee is made up of many caring, faithfully generous hearted individuals.

• STEPHEN MINISTRY: Loving individuals; who have had special, specific training. The Stephen Ministry was developed to assist the pastor and to have lay people available for anyone needing someone to talk to. Total discretion. Appropriate pairing with someone who will be right for your circumstances. Visiting shut ins and those hospitalized are also part of this ministry.
• MILITARY: We remember those whose names we are provided in prayer, weekly. We stay in touch with those we have addresses for through cards at special times. Other media keeps us in touch either by Facebook or Caring Bridge.
• CARENOTES: Appropriate cards are mailed out to the members of the congregation who have recently lost a loved one. These continue to be delivered typically through the first year of the loss. With loving, faithful words to help ease the pain and aide the grieving process.
