The youth group had the best time hosting the Single and Single Again Thanksgiving Luncheon after the morning worship service on Sunday, November 23rd. Our young people always enjoy setting up, decorating, preparing food and serving the lunch, and they get more and more capable and take on more responsibility each year. We even turned one loose with the electric knife this year.
We are so appreciative to Jill Camp for making our dressing and gravy and to all those who brought pies for us to serve, including Holly Franklin, Hailey Brooks, Julie Waldon, Tiffany Bell, Kathy Hagemeier and Jeanette Alford! We also want to extend a big thanks to Brandon and Holly Franklin and Hailey Brooks for all their help in the kitchen.

We have so many fun traditions with our church friends, but pumpkin carving night is definitely one of the favorite nights of the year, and they couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful evening.

The Annual Summer Series Youth Rally was held at the Crockett Road Chuch of Christ on June 24, 2025. There were young people from Churches of Christ all over east Texas who attended. Doug Rader led the group of 155 young people in congregational singing before Paul Cartwright brought a message on "The Courage of Jonah". The singing is really great when you have 155 young people blending their voices in song. Paul did an outstanding job in bringing the message while challenging the youth to have courage in their conviction as a Christian.
Following the worship service, the Crockett Road Youth group provided a meal of Mexican food for everyone in the activity building. The food and fellowship was great!

Our young ladies had such a great time putting together our ladies’ brunch and were so appreciative to all who attended!

The first Monday Night for the Master for 2025 was held on January 27th in the Activity Building. Jeanette Alford prepared an apple cobbler and a delicious salad to go along with the Mazzios's pizzas.
After we enjoyed a meal together, everyone divided up into groups to get all the work done. Several of the people who usually come to help were either ill or were taking care of others who were ill, so we didn't have nearly as many attend as we usually have. But those that were there got a lot accomplished.

The annual Give Me the Bible Conference was held on January 24, 2025 in the activity building of the Crockett Road Church of Christ. There were many who were unable to attend due to illness, but we still had eighty who were able to attend the event this year.
Things started off with a "Meet and Greet" where everyone was able to enjoy donuts, apple brownies, coffee cake, pigs in a blanket, orange juice, apple juice, and coffee. After that, we sang beautiful acapella hymns together and had the introduction of the attending Give Me the Bible preachers.
Before lunch, there was a panelist discussion just as they do on the tv program. Following the discussion, everyone broke for lunch which consisted of barbeque brisket, fried chicken, potato salad, cheesy potatoes, baked beans, fruit salad, bread and a lot of different desserts. Following the meal was another Give Me the Bible panel discussion. Acappella singing was enjoyed throughout the day.
Kris Groda is the administator of the Give Me the Bible Facebook page, and he gave some statistics. Almost every program that was available on facebook for 2024 had 100 or more online views. There were five programs that had over 200 views online. In October, "Is Belief the Only Requirement for Salvation" had over 300 views. The television program is available to millions online, but it is available to even more online through Facebook and Youtube.
We appreciate authors James C. Bivins and John Hobbs for attending. Each of them had a table set up with books available for purchase.
We appreciate all of the ladies who worked so hard decorating for the event. We also appreciate Jill Camp, Keri Rhone, Jeanette Alford, Kathy Young, Donna Costlow, Mackie Cox and Bettie Furman for providing the food and working the kitchen.
