Holy Cross Anglican Church Hackett

All-Age Creativity #1

On June 6, 2020

We are very blessed at Holy Cross with some fine young artists and musicians. God loves it when we use our gifts and talents to their full potential – it’s one of the many ways that we can love God with all our “heart, soul, mind and strength” (Luke 10.27).

One of our younger members did this beautiful picture of the work of the Holy Spirit during our Pentecost service last Sunday:

Another of our younger members recorded these piano pieces for use in our worship services. We think she’s got talent!

And don’t forget that you can catch up with the videos made by younger (and older!) church members in our “Holy Cross Master Builders” series on our YouTube Channel, and also on this web site’s Videos and Podcasts page.

We’re very happy to post more artistic creations from our members so everyone can share them. Let me know!

God bless, Tim

No one wanted to look at each other.
No one wanted to speak, to be the first
to speak…

Holy Cross and St Margaret’s have recently moved to a weekly “Eco-Minute” in our Sunday worship, to ensure that we pray regularly for our Carbon Action Project, which forms part of our wider commitment to God’s mission in the world.

On 24 May, Ascension Sunday, our “Eco-Minute” was a poem by Carrie Fountain, published in the online journal ECOTHEOREVIEW. You can read it here:
