PRESCHOOL
NOW ENROLLING!

Holy Cross Christian Preschool is now enrolling for our 2019-2020 school year! Jesus is at the center of everything we do. Our curriculum is designed to mesh appropriate materials and equipment with the delopmental needs of children as they gain mastery over the important foundation skills that are the forerunner to reading, writing, and arithmetic.

Holy Cross Oxford is a community welcoming all people of all ages to Follow Jesus, Learn and Grow.

Follow Jesus

Everyone’s invited to follow Jesus: young and old, married and single, rich and poor, every nation and race. You don’t have to have it all together, in fact, you probably won't. That's why Jesus came for you.

Learn

The first thing Jesus does with those he invites to follow him is teach them. Are you listening to what Jesus is teaching you? We learn what life is like by listening to Jesus, and we're learning as we go.

Grow

When we follow Jesus and learn from Him, we grow in faith in Him and in love for one another. He doesn't require our perfection, but He invites our participation in the work He's doing in the world around us.

Hope for All!

We live out our mission by exploring our faith, experiencing God's grace, and expressing our faith in love.

 

Explore

Everyone is invited to follow Jesus, and sometimes the best way to begin exploring your faith is by asking questions. There are several ways we explore our faith together. You can learn about here.

Experience

At the beginning of worship at Holy Cross, we share these words: Let us follow Jesus, learn and grow as we come into His presence. We come to experience God’s love and mercy and to receive the gift of grace that only He can give. We experience God's grace together.

Express

Jesus says those who have been forgiven much love much. We seek to share God's love in our families, our church, and in our community. We love because He first loved us. We express our faith in love by serving our community and our church.

 

Come as you are.

12 | The Story: The Trials of a King
12 | The Story: The Trials of a King

King David’s greatest battles were fought against the Sin inside of himself. Instead of doing what he was supposed to do as a king by going off to war, he stays home and fails repeatedly.  “The Story” sermon series continues. You can always text your questions to 248-274-4676. We’ll answer them in our Facebook Live at 2pm on Sundays.

The Miraculous Darkness
11 | The Story: From Shepherd to King
11 | The Story: From Shepherd to King

David is raised from shepherd boy to King of Israel. Throughout his life he faces many dangers, but the ones which are always most dangerous came from inside of him. When we fight our battles, we should choose our champions wisely. “The Story” sermon series continues. You can always text your questions to 248-274-4676. We’ll answer them in our Facebook Live at 2pm on Sundays.

The Miraculous Tearing of the Temple Curtain

What separates you from God? In the Israelite temple, there was a curtain which was 60-feet tall and six inches thick. It stood as physical representation of the spiritual separation of our Sin. When Jesus was crucified, the temple curtain which separated God from His people was torn in two! In Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection, there is nothing which keeps you from God.

10 | The Story: Standing Tall, Falling Hard
10 | The Story: Standing Tall, Falling Hard

The Israelites wanted a king. They wanted to be like the world around them. Do we struggle with the same problem? “The Story” sermon series continues. You can always text your questions to 248-274-4676. We’ll answer them in our Facebook Live at 2pm on Sundays.

9 | The Story: The Faith of a Foreign Woman
9 | The Story: The Faith of a Foreign Woman

Ruth is a story of ultimate faith in God worked out in real lives of real people.  God works in the regular and mundane. There are no miracles, angels, divine revelation. God prepares Naomi, Ruth and Boaz for the good works they do in faith. There’s suffering, sacrifice and deliverance, all pointing to our savior Jesus.

8 | The Story: A Few Good Men and Women
8 | The Story: A Few Good Men and Women

“Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.” The last words in the book of Judges sound familiar to people living today. What do we pass on to the next generation and those who come after us? We continue our sermon series called “The Story”.

7 | The Story: The Battle Begins
7 | The Story: The Battle Begins

God commands Joshua, “Be strong and courageous.” He encourages Joshua, “Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” He knows He sends Joshua to battle. He knows the price which will be paid. We continue our sermon series called “The Story”.

6 | The Story: Wandering
6 | The Story: Wandering

Why do the Israelites wander through the desert for forty years? They don’t believe God will do what He promises. They don’t believe He is who He says He is. Keeping our eyes on Jesus, we continue our sermon series called “The Story”.

5 | The Story: New Commands and a New Covenant
5 | The Story: New Commands and a New Covenant

We are who God makes us to be. God tells us “Be Holy.” First, it’s a commandment for us to keep. But more than that, “Be Holy” is forever God’s covenant of who we are. It is who God makes you to be. We continue our sermon series called “The Story”.

In early February, leaders from Holy Cross and Living Word got together to discuss what could be a new future for the Lutheran churches in North Oakland County, a way of working together for the proclamation of the good news of Jesus.

Do You Have a Hero?
Do You Have a Hero?

Most all of us have heroes in life. We have people whom we respect and love, who have taught, led, guided and directed us in one or many areas of our lives. These men and women are a gift to us, some are around for a season and some for a lifetime, but regardless of how long they invest in us God uses them to shape us. I am thinking of just one in particular.

What Are We For?
What Are We For?

Is it possible that many times people only know what we are against as Christians instead of what we are for? And if that is true, what are we for? Are we for the same things Jesus was for? Really. Are we?

Theologically or Functionally?
Theologically or Functionally?

We know that what it means when we see a sign that says: Speed Limit 45mph. The law is to not go over the limit. We see it and we acknowledge that it is true. What do we do after that? We may understand and acknowledge it but do we do what it says? If you are anything like me, not nearly as often as I should.

A 3D Christmas
A 3D Christmas

As I was jogging the day after Christmas before work I pondered what to say when people would ask how was your Christmas? My desire was that my response be brief and honest. I decided I would respond by saying I had a 3D Christmas, which I did. To which everyone asked, 3D, what does that mean?

Riding the Waves
Riding the Waves

When the waves of grief come in your life I encourage you to take 5, and ride them, if they pass by they are gone and the experience they afford you is gone. In Christ, we can be the best at grieving through all of its mysteries as well as a witness of what it means to have hope beyond death because of what Jesus has accomplished!

What I'm Reading: 006 -- Small Church Essentials
What I'm Reading: 006 -- Small Church Essentials

“Jesus calls every church and every church leader for a purpose, and He equips us with everything we need to accomplish that purpose. You and your church don’t need one more member, one more dollar, or one more square foot of facility. You don’t even need a facility, if your church doesn’t have one.” What we need instead is a boldness to do what God calls us to do. To paraphrase the apostle Paul, God doesn’t call the equipped, he equips the called. May we, as Christians, respond to His call, remembering that every church, small and large, is part of His Church.

What I'm Reading: 005 -- The Prodigal Prophet
What I'm Reading: 005 -- The Prodigal Prophet

I’ve been challenged in my study of Jonah to ask myself, “Is my private faith of any public good?” Keller references how our modern, pluralist culture shames and punishes those who don’t conform to the popular norms and that “for all our talk of tolerance, we demand that others adopt our characteristics and beliefs.” He invites Christians to live out in a way that is truly counter-cultural, one that embraces and loves people, even people who don’t believe what we believe.
