A New Ministry and Outreach

Working with some of our Wabash College students attending Holy Cross, we are offering a new ministry and campus outreach opportunity for students and anyone interested in Bible Studies. The sessions will be on Mondays, beginning Monday September 28th on the Wabash Campus at noon and last about an hour or as folks can stay depending on their schedules. The group is planning to meet at the Grub Hollow (Cafe Bon Appetit), however the location may vary from week to week. Contact Pastor Putz (847-636-9490) for meeting place for the week. You can also check the Holy Cross Calendar for additional information.

This promises to be a great way to spend a Monday lunchtime!!

Mission and Ministry

Our mission statement: “To glorify Jesus Christ through extending His Kingdom by Caring, Equipping and Sending people to change the world.”

Our desire is to connect people to Jesus because He is the only hope for the world.

The head of the church is Jesus Christ, and His life and ministry reflect certain values that guide us in everything that we do. We have five Core Values: Worship, Education, Mission, Service, and Fellowship

Welcome to the Holy Cross Lutheran Church web site. We are glad you have stopped by as we gather before the altar of God the Father and beneath the cross of His Son, Jesus Christ. These are big days for our little congregation and we want you to share in our excitement with the spiritual leadership of Pastor David Putz and pray that together we will grow in spirit and in numbers.

In God’s Word today we hear about faith – no matter how little – that can accomplish great things in God’s Kingdom. But we also hear a warning for those who would water down the Gospel and become a stumbling block to the faithful.

How are we called to respond to those who get in the way of the message of Christ Crucified? We call them to repent and then we forgive them. The church is in the forgiveness business. Faith, even a mustard seed sized faith clings to Jesus.

We are called to be faithful but also to remove the stumbling blocks that would cause other to lose faith. We are all unworthy servants and yet have been given a great responsibility with the faith we have. Faith is active and busy and even just a little can be used to bring the assurance of salvation to all who will hear.
