It is with great sadness that we inform you that the Rector of Holy Cross Anglican Church in America, Fr. David Ambuske, died on December 22, 2011. He was addressing his Christmas cards.
His wife, Linda, said there will be a private ceremony of cremation and his ashes will be scattered at Camp Good Days, one of the other passions of his life.

We were scheduled for a picnic in the park for several churches in western New York on August 28. The dean, Fr. Ley was to have a service in the park and have the picnic lunch afterwards. There were places for the children to play and the pavilion to serve the food. Holy Redeemer was hosting it. However, as you know hurricane Irene came that day. The dean was unable to come and several churches cancelled. So Holy Redeemer and Holy Cross attended the service and picnic at Holy Redeemer Church. The winds were 40 mph and it threatened rain. We had the outer bands of Irene that day with ferocious white caps on the lakes. But it was an okay day. There were about 20 of us who did attend. We had a grand time in spite of the weather and small attendance.

September 10: The parish pot luck supper to reunite the congregation for the fall. Jeanne Hoose is spearheading this dinner. Click here for photos.
