“IN ALL THINGS”

By the way, how is your trust level these days? Pretty high? A little low? Nonexistent? It’s a helpful and relevant question. We all need to trust. If you are trusting yourself, it’s quite possible that your trust level is a bit low. Too frequent-ly we let ourselves down. We can’t find the right answers. We can’t see into the future. We don’t have the resources necessary to guarantee a positive outcome. So it might be well to place our trust elsewhere. God is all-together trustworthy. Nothing is outside His power. Still, we maybe afraid to turn things over to Him because we are not convinced of that. Or, we may think our concerns are too big. We may think that some of our concerns are so small that we shouldn’t bother God with them. The Almighty is capable of understanding our concerns. He is capable of helping us deal with them. Certainly He can handle the big ones, and He wants us to be com-fortable bringing the little ones to Him too. A concern too insignificant to be given to the Lord is too small to be made into a burden. You can trust the Lord in all things. He will never, ever, let you down! Pastor Francis L. Schroeder

Holy Cross Lutheran Church is "“Growing In Christ" and we have a place for everyone in your family.

The material we will be using for Sunday morning children's classes is called "“Growing in Christ." Growing in Christ is a traditional classroom Sunday School for all ages. This same-age classroom model helps students learn and grow in faith alongside their peers as they explore the Bible, draw connections to the Small Catechism, and learn the traditions of the Lutheran Church.

Questions? Contact DCE Kristy Witek at 722-1609 or email at [email protected] for more information!

ONLINE SERMON REPORTS

Holy Cross Lutheran requires members of the 5th, 6th, 7th, & 8th grades to complete a predetermined number of sermon reports in order to fulfill the requirements for the course.

You may use the sermon report forms at Holy Cross or any church you’re visiting. While students are still allowed to use the hard copies of the sermon reports, we are trying

out a “virtual” sermon report that you can find on our website. You simply access www.holycrosstexas.org, scroll down to the bottom of the home page and click the “online

sermon report button,” complete the form on your phone, laptop or IPad and then click “ submit”! Please be sure to click "submit" after you have completed your sermon report at the

end of the service and then let DCE Kristy know you’ve completed it online!

Mid-week/Kingdom Quest (K-4th) and

Confirmation (5th-8th) Classes

Wednesday

5:30pm – M&M Time (Meal & Memory Work Time)

Family Life Center Foyer

6pm-7:15 — Classes for Kindergarten—Adults

FREE MEAL: Holy Cross is planning to serve a light supper for

anyone who attends the Wednesday evening classes: kids in Weekday School and Confirmation Classes,

young adults in the high school / college class, adults in the Life Light classes, and all teachers.

The first meal will be served on Wednesday, September 9, from 5:30 - 6:00pm, in the Family Life Center.

Even if parents are running late, the kids can take their plates to the classroom at 6:00pm.

Adults and children will know ahead of time what is being served!

Kingdom Quest is a fabulous program for Kindergarten through 4th Grade. The GOAL of Kingdom Quest is

to provide active discipleship for Kids. One thing is almost certain - Children WILL NOT be bored.

Children begin their Wednesday evening in their very special small group. There are three separate small

groups for our Kindergarten through 4th Grade students. Then after small group time, students will

transition to a large group setting that creatively presents the Bible event. They will get to meet our puppet,

Gerdy/Gordy as well as many other amazing people from the Bible!!! After large group time is complete,

they will again return to their small groups to be challenged to take their faith into every day situations. The

content is very JESUS-centered and each lesson uses active learning methods utilizing their multiple senses.

Our awesome small group leaders will focus on connecting kids relationally and helping them apply

God's truth in their lives.

5th-7th Grade Confirmation classes is taught by DCE Kristy Witek. We will be using the fabulous curricu-

lum called Faith Inkubators, which we have used for the past 7 years. Faith Inkubators’ goal is Head to the

Heart (H2H) - to reach kids and their families for Christ during the exciting, promising, challenging and

sometimes rough and rocky teen years. Faith Inkubators’ founder Rev. Richard Melheim, spent more than a

decade in parish ministry wondering why Bible camp and youth group worked and confirmation

didn’t. He struggled with the traditional Christian education models that graduated kids on confirmation day,

three-fourths of them never to return. He wanted to do something about it. The suicides of two young men in

his youth group provided him with a slap in the face and helped him create a pastoral care model that

blurred the lines between youth group and youth education. Rich spent three years testing this “car load of

kids” confirmation system and created something really special – Faith Inkubators!

We hope you will join us.

Pastor Schroeder leads our 8th Grade Confirmation class and he uses his own curriculum.

Mr. Michael Rose leads our Young Adult Class - 9th Grade through 21 years.

Adult LifeLight Classes meet 6:00-7:15pm in Conference rooms A and B.

More details about our Confirmation Classes, Memory Work and Class Schedules, please go to our website

www.holycrosstexas.org

If you have any questions or would like to know more about our Midweek, Kingdom Quest and

Confirmation Classes, please contact DCE Kristy Witek at 722-1609 [email protected]

We can't wait to see you on Wednesday, September 9 @6pm!
