Mission Moment: BCS Together
2025-05-04 04:30 - 05:30 | TX
BCS Together ensures no one has to care for kids alone by providing resources, relationship, and awareness so that foster, adoptive, and kinship families thrive. Holy Cross teamed up with BCS Together over 5 years ago to answer calls for action as we can financially accommodate the need, but is there more we can do as a congregation or as an individual?
Learn more about BCS Together in May when we feature this organization as part of our quarterly Mission Moment series. If you want to support this ministry, give anytime to Holy Cross and designate “BCS Together.” Follow this link to give online.

The Rite of Confirmation
2025-04-27 05:45 - 07:00 | Holy Cross Lutheran Church (Worship Building), 1590 Sebesta Road, College Station, TX, 77845, United States
Take a moment to meditate on hymn 865 “Lord, Help Us Ever to Retain” as you remember your own confirmation and walk in faith with Christ. We will recognize 14 youth as they celebrate the Rite of Confirmation this month. If you are unfamiliar with “confirmation,” this is an event when baptized individuals profess their faith and may participate in the act of Holy Communion. Our youth have been involved in a 2-year education program with Pastor Mike. If you are an adult interested in learning the Lutheran faith and practices, contact Pastor Mike to learn more about the next Adult Instruction class.

Theological Convocation with Chad Bird: Session 2
2024-11-02 03:30 - 07:30 | Holy Cross Lutheran Church (Worship Building), 1590 Sebesta Road, College Station, TX, 77845, United States
Attend Theological Convocation and join us for a two-part speaking event with Chad Bird, Scholar in Residence with 1517 Speakers Network. Refreshments will be served at 8am on Saturday morning. The topic of the event is The Christ Key: Unlocking the Mystery of Jesus in the Old Testament.

We might picture the Old Testament as a vast mansion with many rooms: the creation room; the exodus room; the tabernacle, angel, and war rooms. The key to unlock each of these, and fully understand what God is showing us in them, is Jesus the Messiah. We will take a tour of this Hebrew mansion and see how, in various ways, Jesus is mysteriously present in the life of ancient Israel. We will see him appearing under the guise of “the angel of the Lord.” He will give us pencil sketches of himself in men such as Melchizedek and David. He will reveal his mission of sacrifice in the architecture of the temple. The Christ key is God’s chosen means of unlocking the Old Testament for us.
Chad Bird has served as a pastor, professor, and guest lecturer in Old Testament theology and Hebrew. He holds master’s degrees from Concordia Theological Seminary and Hebrew Union College. Learn more about Chad here.
