The Chapel of the Cross's Annual Parish BBQ is scheduled for the first Sunday that the rector returns from sabbatical, Sunday, August 25, at 6:30 p.m.

This wonderful celebration of fellowship will follow the 5:15 p.m. service and will be held on the parish grounds with a complete meal catered by Gillis's BBQ. A tradition that accompanies the BBQ is a parish food drive. In thanksgiving for our bounty, please bring three food items for the Inter-Faith Council Food Pantry. (Particularly needed items are soup, spaghetti, spaghetti sauce, macaroni and cheese, powdered milk, canned meats and fruits, rice, jelly, and beans.)

Tickets for the BBQ will be sold after church services starting on August 4 and are priced as follows: adultsó$9, children under 10ó$5, university studentsófree. Please note that on August 18 we will tell the caterer how many people to prepare for; therefore, all tickets must be purchased by August 18. We look forward to a wonderful occasion.
