Members of the Woman-2-Woman’s Group at the Orthodox Church of the Holy Cross in Medford NJ gathered on Monday, 8 December, to assemble trays of Christmas Cookies. The cookies will be delivered to homebound parishioners and to Medford community servants: fire, police, and EMT squads. "Our hope is they will know that we remember them in our prayers," said Father John Shimchick (parish rector), "and that we appreciate their efforts." The parish will also host a Choral Prelude and Advent Vespers on Sunday, 14 December at 5:30 p.m.  Information is available in "Upcoming Events".
