Scripture

But may I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ...Peace and mercy be to all who follow this rule. (Gal 6:14, 16)

Mission Statement

We seek to show God's love and concern to those who are hurting by reaching out to them and giving them the ultimate sign of God's love - the cross. Our mission is to encourage others to find hope in The Cross.

Ministry Description

While this is a newly formed ministry at Mary Queen, our main purpose is to provide other ministries and individuals with hand-made wooden crosses. These crosses are a visible sign of God's love for His children. The Mary Queen Woodworkers hope to share His love with those who are hurting. If it is a struggling family at our food pantry, a family in mourning at a funeral, or a family who had their home rebuilt after Harvey, our wooden crosses are meant to be a sign of hope and God's love for all.

Activities

We are in the process of building a woodworking shop on the church property which will allow us to have work days every month. Currently we meet once a month to discuss current and future projects.

In addition to our hand-crafted crosses, we work on projects for the parish as they come up.

Events

We will be conducting workshops to teach our young children about woodworking and to share our love of woodworking with others in the parish.

Volunteer/Service Opportunities

As our meetings become work meetings, we will be working on various projects and all are invited to come and share our love of woodworking.
