Our Sanctuary Made Ready for indoor worship with Covid-19 Shields in front of the singers.
Outdoor Worship was nice when it was warm, but then came Fall's cold weather.
Sunday, July 26, 2020, goes down in history as the day Church of the Cross began the long road back from our Covid-19 shut-down to in-person (outdoor) worship in the shade of the trees next to the driveway and parking spaces adjacent to our church building.
Thanks goes to all who helped build that important milestone, including especially the task force which continued its work to enable our return to indoor worship services now being conducted in as low-risk an environment as we can possibly design.
"Virtual" Church of the Cross is here as we together do our part to mitigate the contagion of the virus which is sweeping around the world. Even as we return to Sunday worship in our sanctuary, Church of the Cross will continue to offer Virtual Worship for those in our congregation who are not ready to gather together in-person. Virtual Worship will continue to present weekly sermons, scripture, prayer and songs of faith. To access these features on this website go to the top of this page, click on "Watch & Listen" and select Video or Audio. There will be things to watch on the video page and different things to listen to on the audio page. You are also invited to visit our "Church of the Cross Lexington" YouTube Channel. There will be a new Playlist for each new Sunday Worship. Just start the Playlist for this Sunday's date and it will play the entire service in the correct order automatically. Initially, there will be no in-person Sunday School and so our ZOOM Sunday School class on line at 11am will continue.
Make sure our financial support for the Church of the Cross continues uninterrupted even when we are not attending worship in-person. Click HERE to go to the on-line Giving page and follow the instructions to send in your Tithes and Gifts electronically.
At the United Methodist Church of the Cross of Lexington we care for your family and extend it, nurturing community through a variety of programs, as a multi-generational close-knit congregation which cares. Build your family’s foundation of faith at the Lexington Church of the Cross and see where God takes your vision.
As we resume in-person worship as of September 20th, all are invited to join us in-person at 9:30 on Sunday mornings. We are on West Main (Route 97 west) in Lexington, Ohio. Become part of a welcoming congregation which serves our community and leads others to Christ.
