The
Holy Cross Ladies Guild has been active at Holy
Cross for over twenty years. Their main purpose
is service-oriented.
For example:
-
Each year the Ladies Guild helps support a
Concordia University seminary student. The
Guild provides monetary as well as spiritual
support of the student.
-
The Guild donates new pajamas, underwear and
Christmas gifts to Lutheran Child & Family
Services for the children in foster homes.
-
Our Lutheran Women’s Missionary League
(LWML) representative
attends the League’s meetings and reports
back to the Guild with news and information.
At various time of the year we make requests
of the congregation members for soap, blankets
and clothing for the Lutheran World Relief
Organization who then distributes these items
to needy countries all over the world.
-
We prepare and serve funeral luncheons for
those families who request them.
-
Once a year the Birmingham Pastor’s
Circuit meets at Holy Cross and we provide
a brunch for the pastors attending.
-
We host and serve social dinners several times
a year.
-
We occasionally have various (and we hope,
interesting) fundraisers to help defray our
operating costs.
You don’t have to be involved in all or
even any of the activities to be a Guild member.
We would enjoy having you come to a meeting and
getting to know you. The Ladies Guild meets the
first Tuesday of the month (except July
& August) at 12:30pm for fellowship
followed by our regular meeting at 1:00pm.
