The time spent together was filled with warmth and fellowship. It’s a joy to witness our Student Ambassadors shine!

Our 5th grade class did an amazing job presenting "The Light Gift." It tells the story of a young girl's journey of kindness, which leads her to discover the greatest gift of all. Her journey reveals the wonder of God's perfect timing: "Stay on the way and treat others as you would the coming King."
Family Discipleship Night was incredible! Adam Griffin, coauthor of Family Discipleship and host of the Family Discipleship podcast, shared some practical ways to disciple our children and grandchildren. Deuteronomy 6:4-9 tells us that discipleship is an ongoing conversation in the day-to-day living in our family. Adam shared some practical takeaways that we can all begin to implement today: (1) Read the Bible aloud daily as a family (2) Pray aloud for each of your children and speak scripture over them (3) Spend one-on-one time monthly with each of your children.
Another highlight: we are called to be different, set apart. Adam used the analogy of "raising Green Bay Packer fans in a Dallas Cowboys town." Christians are not called to be like the world...we are called to be different.
What is happening at CCS?

It's heartwarming to see our community come together to support those in need, and we truly appreciate everyone who participated by donating or spreading the word. Your efforts have made a significant impact, and we are grateful for your kindness and support!

We look forward to many more memorable moments together.
Mrs. Bostick had her students write a story about how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Afterward, she demonstrated their steps using bread, peanut butter, and jelly. This helped the students understand the importance of including detailed instructions in their writing.
During chapel on Thursday, November 7, Middle and High School students had the honor of hearing from two veterans: Master Sergeant Philip John Staten and First Sergeant Brett Bennett. These decorated service members shared their experiences of serving our country selflessly.
They reminded us that Jesus sacrificed His life for us so that we may have eternal life. The veterans also challenged all of us to serve the Kingdom of God and to make sacrifices for others in our daily lives.
As we honor all veterans on Veterans Day for their sacrifices, let us also remember to live sacrificially for the Kingdom of God!
Book Fair - November 18th to 22nd, 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM.
