Holy Cross Services

Services at Holy Cross Lutheran are Sunday at 9 a.m. Bible Class and Sunday school follows the morning service.

Sermon links/streaming videos and additional information is on the website at: www.holycrosswarda.com.

Pastor Beck is leading a new midweek Bible Study on Wednesdays at 10:30 a.m. at Holy Cross in the family room. In this study you will learn how to read your Bible….how to really read it. What do we believe about the Bible? How can we understand it? All are welcome to be a part of this conversation.

The Ladies Stamp Program at Holy Cross in Warda is coming to an end and they ask that anyone having stamps to turn in would do so by Oct. 1 so they can get them sent in to the Texas District Stamp Program. They can be brought to the church office, dropped off in the designated box in the hallway, or mail to Lisa Gay, P.O. Box 141, Warda, Tx 78960.

Recycle Trailer

The recycle trailer is at the Warda storage facility. The local Trail Life Group collects aluminum cans at the Holy Cross picnic grounds. There is a wire bin at the picnic grounds for you to put your cans in. The boys greatly appreciate your support and the money they collect goes towards projects they participate in.
