This is such cool research and EXACTLY what we experience at Christus Rex. Thanks UND Hilyard Center for sharing! If you’re interested in donating to a Friday Free Lunch Friday meal or a Sunday Worship Dinner visit the link to support this kind of community building and belonging --> https://christus-rex.org/make-a-gift

The Hilyard Center staff presented on the role of food in fostering community and belonging. Their session, “Belonging Isn’t Something We Stumble Into: When Food Is More Than a Meal,” explored the growing challenges of isolation and loneliness and highlighted research demonstrating how shared food experiences strengthen connections, build community, and promote a sense of belonging. Research shows that students who report higher levels of belonging are more likely to be academically engaged, both in the classroom and through the use of campus support resources. Increased belonging is also associated with higher student retention rates, underscoring the importance of creating intentional opportunities for connection and community on campus.

Students and staff from Christus Rex and Crossroads Lutheran Campus Ministry at NDSU didn’t just attended Eastern ND Synod Assembly… they made each day a Campus Ministry day! We kicked off the weekend with a Campus Ministry open house where students and ministry leaders got to talk to those in congregations and even some alumni!

Saturday, we invited everyone to play Assembly Bingo with us and they stopped by our table to get a prize if they got a bingo. We were thankful so many of you played along so we could get a chance to visit with you! Sunday, we wrapped the weekend with worship and it was so good to sing together and remember the renewal that comes with waters of baptism.

We have an incredibly awesome story to tell and we can’t wait to visit some of your congregations and keep sharing the story. Thank you for all of the support and encouragement this weekend - these ministries don’t exist without you!
