We warmly welcome Rev. William C. McGuirk to Holy
Cross Church as the 12th Pastor. He is very happy to be here
& is looking forward to meeting you.
In today’s gospel we hear that Jesus has begun his journey to
Jerusalem,” and he does so “resolutely.” He is preparing to
meet his fate there. Jesus’ passion does not happen by
accident; he knows what will be the result of his actions and
still he continues on his way. Let us praise and thank God
today for such great love shown to us by Jesus, our Lord and
Savior.
This Thursday is America’s 237 Birthday! An important day
in America to celebrate liberty from political oppression but
also a reminder of the Christian freedom you enjoy. You can
look at this freedom in two ways: freedom from – being or
feeling forced to do something – and freedom to – ee, judge,
and act on what is holy and good. Christians believe Jesus
had set them free and have the wonderful liberty to choose
him. What has God freed you from? What has God freed
you to do? HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!
