Mountains, Water, and Smelly Rooms

Another student camp is in the books. This year we took 58 people of which 45 were kids and 13 were adults, to Glorieta, New Mexico. Glorieta sits in the southern Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The mountains usually provide a great getaway from the Texas heat that all Texans are far too familiar with. This year, the weather was a little warmer than normal during the day but the nights were fantastic and it was definitely not as hot as Little…

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…

The Best Worst Sweater Time of the Year

Not long ago, dressing in an ugly sweater would get you banned by your friends at the next Christmas Party. Times have changed, and if you don’t have at least one ugly sweater for Christmas, you might find yourself uninvited for next year’s festivities. Our students held their annual Ugly Sweater Christmas Party this past weekend. From old ugly, sold-in-a-store sweaters to custom-made works of greatness, most students did not disappoint. We’re not sure whose grandma some of these students…

Students Got To Eat, Compete, and Pie Others

If you didn’t make it to this year’s YOUTHSgiving you missed out! Students had an amazing spread of food from turkey, ham, corn casserole, green beans, pies, cinnamon rolls and more. Everybody got as much as they wanted and then some. The adult leaders did a fantastic job of decorating the room. Tables were dressed with thanksgiving theme items. Plates and utensils sat waiting for students to pull up a chair. Tables stood next to each other in a family…

M3 Student Summer Camp

What a great time we had attending M3 Camp at Highland Lakes in Spicewood, TX. Our 10 brave leaders took 40 teenagers to camp and loved every minute of it. Friendships were made and relationships were built.  Belly laughs were had, sweat dripped, students cheered, and little sleep was gotten. We saw students make public statements of faith that they feel called to pastoral and mission ministries, but best of all were the students whose lives were changed forever when…

Backpack Drive

What’s better than giving out backpacks to kids? Giving out backpacks full of school supplies to kids. Each year we donate backpacks and school supplies to LEISD. This year we set the bar high at wanting to pack and give out 70 backpacks. CrossRidge responded by not only meeting that goal but by going above and beyond. We gave out 76 backpacks to kids at the LEISD Back to School Bash. Utilizing money given to Dollar Days and donations from…

Student Camp Recap

What do you get when you combine the best people you know with the worst food you’ve ever had? A week at church camp, of course! This past week CrossRidge sent 33 students and 7 adults (considering they volunteer for the youth group, I’m using the word “adult” loosely here) off to FUGE Camp in Pineville, Louisiana to learn more about their Creator and serve the local community. One thing that really separates this particular church camp from other camps…

Great to be Back!

What an awesome night we had with our students this past Wednesday. Over 70 students and over 20 adult leaders showed up to our first student event since March 11. What a blessing it was to see so many familiar faces and to see new faces as well. Well, not faces exactly. Everybody was wearing masks and social distancing but at least we got to see everyone after being apart for so long. Usually, by now, we have had an…
