Week of 12/15/24
Good Morning Ridge Families!
​
We had an amazing night on Sunday! The energy and enthusiasm were contagious as we played games, shared a delicious meal, worshipped together, and dove into the meaning of Advent. We explored the themes of the first two weeks of Advent: Hope and Peace. Our small groups were full of discussions about memories, what we hope for, and what we can strive for to have the “perfect” Christmas.
​
What a gift it is to reflect on the hope we have in Jesus and to know we can experience His peace every single day. These moments remind us why we gather—to grow in faith and community as we prepare our hearts for Christmas.​
As we dive into this season of reflection and celebration, we’re thrilled to share all the exciting opportunities coming up for Ridge 6-12 students. Whether it’s deepening faith through Bible study, serving others at home or abroad, or simply enjoying fellowship, there’s something for everyone.
​
Take a moment to check out the updates below, and we can’t wait to see you at one of our upcoming events!
