Holy Cross Lutheran Church is a Christ-centered family of faith gathered for worship, spiritual growth, and service to our Lord. We are located in Dakota Dunes, South Dakota, in the tri-state region of Sioux City, Iowa. Members also come from the nearby South Dakota communities of North Sioux City, McCook Lake, Jefferson, and Elk Point, as well as from Iowa and Nebraska.  Holy Cross is a member congregation of the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod.
Holy Cross is a growing congregation, founded as a new mission in 1995 as part of the newly established master-planned community of Dakota Dunes.  The phase of our building, now the Educational Wing and Fellowship Hall, was constructed in 1998.  Attendance has more than doubled since 2003, and in 2007 we rejoiced to dedicate a beautiful new Sanctuary to the glory of God.  We pray this visit to Holy Cross via the internet is a blessing for you, and invite you to visit us soon in Dakota Dunes and consider becoming part of the Holy Cross family of faith.  You are always welcome in this house of God.

News and Upcoming Events

Introduction | This Week’s Bulletin | Newsletter | December Calendar | January Calendar
CHURCH OFFICE CLOSED FOR CHRISTMAS—The Church Office will be closed for Christmas break from Christmas Eve until Epiphany.  Regular hours, Tuesday thru Friday from 9:00am to 11:00am, will resume on January 6.
NEW YOUTH BIBLE STUDY TOPIC—Our Youth Bible Study is beginning a new study on the topic of creation vs. evolution.  As part of the class we’ll be watching and discussing segments from the movie “Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed” which was released in theaters last summer and was the #1 documentary film of 2008.  Comic Ben Stein takes an entertaining yet thoughtful look at this important question, which especially confronts young people today.  Our thanks to Jon Dorr for helping launch our new Youth Bible Study and serving as the leader for the first several months, and to Rob Finkral for serving as the leader for this new topic.  Youth Bible Study meets Sundays at 10:30am in the Church Library. Expelled DVD
SUNDAY BIBLE CLASS ON THE CHURCH YEAR—Have you ever wondered about the origin, meaning and significance of the “church year”?  In The Year of the Lord’s Favor, we will use a new church year calendar from Concordia Publishing House to explore such questions as how this system of celebrations and readings was established, what the annual cycle of these seasons means, why certain colors and symbols are used for the seasons and what they signify.  Join in Sundays at 10:30am in the Fellowship Hall as we explore The Year of the Lord’s Favor.

MIDWEEK STUDY ON “CHRISTIAN DECISION MAKING” RESUMES JANUARY 7—Our Midweek Bible Study on Christian Decision Making will resume on Wednesday, January 7.  Christians sometimes have difficulty deciding what to do. This study leads class members to trust that God loves them for Jesus’ sake and to be confident that God will guide their steps. Lessons explore scriptural principles and examine people in the Bible who have made wise and sometimes foolish decisions.  Join in Midweek Bible Study Wednesdays at 7:30pm—a great way to start the New Year!  We meet in the Church Library following Midweek Vespers.
