SERVE Day 2022
July 16th marked the fifth year Cross Mountain has done SERVE Day. We take one day in the middle of the year and join with other churches to serve our City in huge ways. From cleaning trash to giving away free gas, we look for practical ways to share the love of Christ with People. At Cross Mountain, We Serve And Make A Difference! It’s not just something we say, but it’s something we value.
With 14 locations this year, I organized our biggest SERVE day since COVID started. Here is a list of the locations:
Hill Country Daily Bread - Prepping Food boxes for families in need (Child Friendly).
Boerne Stage Beautification Project - CMC Students - cleaning a section of Boerne Stage Road.
Grey Forest Fire Department - Cleaning the Fire Trucks, Station, and other things as needed (kid-friendly)
Station Clean-Up - Leon Springs Fire Department - We took down a tree with chainsaws and took it away so the Firefighters could put the truck in the station.
Daily Bread Ministries - Preparing food packages for families (Child Friendly).
Teacher Care Packages - Preparing Teacher Care Packages to be passed out prior to school starting.
McAndrews Elementary - Door Decoration - decorating restroom stall doors for the children to return to school in the fall.
SAMM - Dining Room Refresh Project - SAMM provides transitional housing. Their dining room serves as a gathering space for families to eat together. We will be painting walls and chairs, putting together high chairs, and getting the dining room ready for families to share their dinner together (Child Friendly).
CMC - FOOD TEAM - preparing lunch for everyone after serve day.
Teen Challenge - Picnic Area Renovation - Teen Challenge serves to provide a Christian drug rehab. We will be creating a picnic area for the women's portion of the ministry where their families can come and enjoy a meal with them.
Boerne Stage Fuel Takeover - We will provide $50 of gas for each person who shows up that morning. We will turn the Big's at Boerne Stage and Cross Mountain Trail into a full-service station along with offering to pray for everyone who comes through the line.
Children's Hunger Fund - Prepping Food boxes for families in need (Child Friendly).
Harper's Chapel - Community clean-up - We will be working to clean several lots near Harper's Chapel of trash as well as yard work.
Social Media Team - Take pictures and videos so we can show everyone what we accomplished.
This year we say over 230 people gather to SERVE and make a difference in their community. We also worked with churches in low-income locations and look forward to partnering with them again.
