Holy Cross Lutheran Church Will Celebrate 100 years

A year of events are planned to build up to the 100th year anniversary in September of 2011.

The kickoff began in September with a special visit from the grandchildren of the church's first pastor and a history lesson about 1911 by Rev. William Metzger.

From the anniversary committee of the church, upcoming events this month include a special showing of church homes, where services were conducted from 1911 to 1920.

This display will be visible at the entryway of the church.

There is a full anniversary calendar available after each service, for $10.00 and will include past and present photos.

The yearlong series will conclude with a banquet on Sept. 11, 2011.

Holy Cross Lutheran Church is composed of about 250 families in Cary and other northwest suburbs and is a member congregation of the Lutheran church Missouri Synod, which has about 2.5 million baptized members.
