Painting and Recipes

This past Saturday, over 90 ladies showed up at our Pizza and Painting event. By the end of the night, each person painted the cover for their own cookbook, made up of recipes from each person who came. From appetizers, to soups, entrees, desserts and more, we had almost 100 recipes shared between the group. A huge thank you goes out to Amy Smith and all of her work in leading the evening and helping make it a huge success.…

Spicy Showdown: Annual Chili Cook-Off Success

So far, October may feel more like July, but that didn’t stop us from getting into the fall spirit with what is arguably the season’s best food. Onions, chili powder, cumin, (beans?), juicy ground chuck! That’s right. Last weekend was the annual Chili Cook-off here at Crossridge, and those who competed certainly brought the heat. The smack talk surrounding the contest was as spicy as some of the pots of chili. Though, since Pastor John Wolfe recused himself from competing,…

Delivering Slices of Love for LEISD

September Dollar Days was a special one! We love getting to bless the teachers and all those who pour so much into the lives of the kids in our town. This month, we showed our appreciation for teachers, administrators, and other staff for Little Elm ISD by bringing lunch to all the local schools, administration buildings, and even local charter school North Texas Collegiate Academy. The numbers we delivered this month were BIG. A total giving of $1,812, 293 pizzas,…

Serving Those Who Protect and Serve Us

One of our favorite ways to shine the light of Jesus to our community is through our Dollar Days ministry. This August, the spotlight was on our local police departments in Little Elm and Oak Point—the everyday heroes who ensure our safety. Breaking previous records, the August Dollar Days initiative raised over $1800! This generous amount, collected on the first Sunday of August, allowed us to truly bless the 89 sworn police officers and nine support staff of Little Elm…

Back to School Supplies

Because of your gifts to Dollar Days and donations throughout July, we delivered 60 packed backpacks to Little Elm ISD. That’s a ton of backpacks. Okay, maybe not a literal ton, but it was enough backpacks to fill the bed of a truck and then some. Money from Dollar Days paid for the backpacks, while donations from church members were used to fill each one. Volunteers came up the night before the delivery to pack all the backpacks. They packed…

Gratitude with a Slice of Garlic Bread

Ocean Waters, Fried Chicken, and NY Pizza

At Crossridge Church, we’re serious about loving and serving our community, and our monthly Dollar Days ministry is the perfect opportunity to walk this out. For the April Dollar Days event, we raised $1,106 to bless our neighbors here in Little Elm. We wanted these funds to make a tangible impact in people’s lives, so we used the money to pay for lunches at three local restaurants: Sonic, KFC, and Joe’s Pizza. We gave the store managers the freedom to…

Baskets to Baskets

March Dollar Days at LEFD  For Dollar Days this month, we filled baskets with dollars at the church and in turn filled much larger baskets with food and kitchen supplies to stock the pantries for all shifts at the three Little Elm fire stations.   This was the eleventh time we’ve blessed the LEFD, and each time they express their heartfelt gratitude for the gifts and for the banners and notes from our children’s ministry. We’re blessed to bless our firefighters,…

Noodles and Baskets

That’s amore! The people of CrossRidge Church showed up and hugely supported the student ministry and broke all previous records in the process. The Student Ministry’s Spaghetti Lunch and Basket Raffle raised $7,000. All the money raised goes to the Student Ministry and helps them pay for camp this summer. Individuals and Life Teams donated baskets for the raffle, which contained gift cards, summer fun, date night and game night items, photo sessions, nerf guns, candy, popcorn, and so much…

Salsa Sunday Success

We see your Taco Tuesday and raise you a Salsa Sunday. If we learned anything on February 5, we learned that people at CrossRidge are serious about salsa.

The first annual Salsa Sunday was nearly full to bursting with more than 250 people dining and fellowshipping in our Kids Church…

Living Differently in 2023 and Beyond

We are in the “New Year Resolutions” season, and according to Webster’s Dictionary, a new year resolution is a promise to do something DIFFERENT in the new year. Every year, many US citizens set out to live differently by committing to improve their life circumstances to achieve happiness. Their resolutions focus on improving health and fitness circumstances, financial circumstances, career circumstances, traveling circumstances, and for some, their addiction circumstances. Though the focuses are all different, they each have something in…

Giving Gifts And Connecting Families

Over the past several years, we have partnered with Prison Fellowship Angel Tree for Dollar Days during December. The money we receive from Dollar Days buys gifts for children of incarcerated parents in our community. With help from CrossRidge members, gifts are bought, wrapped, and delivered. Each gift is marked with the child’s name and includes a note from their parent. Deliveries are scheduled, and volunteers hand deliver the gifts to the families. As much as the children receive a…

Lakeside Manor Thanksgiving

It is common to spend time and reflect on what we have to be thankful for during Thanksgiving. But it is also a great time to give back. For several years, a group from CrossRidge has been helping out in the community by serving food for Thanksgiving to seniors in our community. This year, Al Gaines, Connections Minister, and Zandi McCarroll of CrossRidge Church took the lead in providing and serving food to the residents at Lakeside Manor on November…

Tailgate 2022

CrossRidge showed their support for the Little Elm Lobos on Friday night. We had a great time grilling, hanging out, and handing out the most hot dogs and hamburgers we ever have. We fed students, parents, staff, passer-bys and even some of the opposing team. A fun night was had by all. Our own Coby McCormick was on live feed on the Little Elm ISD Facebook site. In case you missed it here it is. Thank you to all of…

Bolt VBS Day 3

I don’t know about you, but to me, it seems that this week has been flying by! I can’t believe that today is already the last day of BOLT Virtual VBS. Last night, I enjoyed learning how important it is to stay focused on Jesus, especially when times are rough. The worship song each night is awesome too! Tonight is the last chance to drive-by the church at 1701 Walker Lane and drop off your coins or food times benefiting…
