On the third Sunday of each month, beginning in May and continuing through November, a concert is held at 3:00 pm, with a Hymn Sing at 6:00 p.m. Concerts are given by talented musicians who are willing to share their time and talent to help raise funds for the on-going maintenance of The Old Rugged Cross Church.
