Holy Cross Lutheran Church ELCA
Dear Members of Holy Cross,

As the end of the year approaches, we would like to express our gratitude to our dedicated staff members who have worked tirelessly to keep our church running smoothly. To show our appreciation, we are organizing our annual gifts of appreciation to Pastor Gerhard, Jack, Court, Carrie, Dave, and the Praise Band.

We invite you to join us in this effort by making a donation towards the Holy Cross Staff Christmas Gift. Your contribution, payable to Holy Cross Lutheran Church, will help us provide our staff members with a token of our appreciation for their hard work and dedication.
Thank you for your generosity and for helping us show our staff members how much we value their contributions to our church community.

Sincerely,

The Holy Cross Church Council

Please make your donation by December 31st.
