This church bell originally hung in St. Peter's bell tower on Grant Street. (now the Early Childhood building) It is well over 100 years old. Kind of cool as we celebrate our nation's 250th.

The Beginning of Cross of Christ

The photo to the left was donated by Rosaaen Skifton Olson. Rosaaen and I remember this scene well because for a few years, this project monopolized many, of what would eventually be, Cross of Christ members lives. As we do extensive maintenance on our treasured stain glass windows, it seems like a good time to say thanks to those folks who made this beautiful building a reality.
We raised $107,000 to redo the windows. The total cost of the original building was $209,805.20. The groundbreaking took place April 26, 1959, and the dedication was August 28, 1960. Quite an accomplishment for a small congregation!
Fifth Sunday after Pentecost
In these verses Jesus reminds us that His presence is found in the simplest acts of love. “Whoever welcomes you welcomes me,” He says, teaching us that every kindness offered to another becomes a doorway through which Christ Himself enters. A cup of cold water, a word of encouragement, a moment of hospitality — none of these are small in the eyes of God. We trust that Christ is at work in ordinary people doing ordinary things, turning daily compassion into holy service. As we welcome one another, we welcome Him who first welcomed us with grace that never ends.
Matthew 10:40-42
New International Version
40 “Anyone who welcomes you welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. 41 Whoever welcomes a prophet as a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever welcomes a righteous person as a righteous person will receive a righteous person’s reward. 42 And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones who is my disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly not lose their reward.”
