The Adult Center is sponsored by Cross Lutheran Church. Attended by church and community members alike, the center is open to adults of all ages and ethnic groups. Our goal is to provide a wide variety of program opportunities to help people stay in life’s mainstream and encourage them to share their God-given gifts with others.
The Center is equipped with a wheelchair accessible ramp, elevator and bathrooms. It is staffed by volunteers who can help participants join in the center’s activities. Adults needing constant supervision and greater assistance are welcome if accompanied by an aide.
A van is available to pick up attendees. Contact the church office, by 3:30 Monday if you are interested. We can get you on the list to call regularly.
Adult Center participants enjoy:
- Breakfast, lunch, and access to the food pantry each week
- 1st Tuesdays: Chair Yoga with Kathy
- 2nd Tuesdays: Activities vary by month
- 3rd Tuesdays: Kinetic Yoga with Stephen
- Last Tuesday: Birthday celebrations, paired with “Taco Tuesday” and Bingo with prizes
How you can help the Adult Center:
- Volunteer to speak to the Adults about your adventures & vacations
- Donate prizes for Bingo
- Come and participate
- and much more!

Quilt Ministry
“Anointed Hands and Nimble Fingers”
Please consider joining Cross
Lutheran’s quilt ministry! Our goal? Spreading warmth and God’s Love through
the work of our hands — a gift that can last for years to come!
If you don’t know how to sew, come anyway – you can cut squares, you can tie
finished quilts, or you can just come for fellowship and conversation. This
group is casual and friendly.
Our ministry is still developing and exploring
ways to serve. Projects so far have included quilting for local non-profit
organizations and, in the spring, creating personalized quilts for our graduating
seniors. To date we have created over 48 quilts.
We are always accepting donations of fabric and notions, so please keep us in mind.
Join us on the 2nd and 4th Saturday, 10am-2pm, in the Ellwanger Fellowship Hall.
Please talk to Fran (414-449-1607, mscrafty213@sbcglobal.net) for more information.
