HC Youth are off to a great adventure this summer for the 2025 LCMS Youth Gathering. Join us in praying for our youth and adult chaperones. This year’s theme is ENDURE from Hebrews 12:1-3.
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.” (Hebrews 12:1-3)
Held every 3 years since 1980, the LCMS Youth Gathering provides thousands of youth and adults the opportunity to come together as a community of God’s people to be encouraged in their walk with Jesus Christ and learn about the Christian faith and their Lutheran identity.

Bethlehem Christian Families
2025-06-15 04:00 - 07:00 | Holy Cross Lutheran Church (Worship Building), 1590 Sebesta Road, College Station, TX, 77845, United States
On Sunday, June 15, we will have a special opportunity to view and purchase products and creations in wood created by the hands of Christian artisans in and around the Holy Land region. The Rishmawi Family has been designated as the representative for these wonderful Christian artisans. The tradition of Olive wood carvings in the Holy Land has been handed down from father to son since the 12th century. Due to the difficulties the last few years in the Middle East, tourism has been dramatically reduced and these folks have suffered greatly. This is causing the Christian community to immigrate to different countries, leaving the Christian population at 2% today from 25% fifteen years ago.
We invite you to visit their display tables and view some of the finest handcrafts available from the Holy Land. Learn more about this organization at https://www.bcfmission.com/. View these beautiful items online at http://www.bethlehem-art.com/
“We call on our churches worldwide to recognize that the very presence of the Christian communities in the Holy Land is threatened by the severity of the present conflict and by the economic devastation the conflict has caused. When the Mother Church is endangered, the entire Churches must be involved.”
– The Christian Bishops of Jerusalem

Theological Convocation with Chad Bird: Session 2

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.
