As January rapidly comes to a close, I
am encouraged by the things that are happening on campus. Yesterday, January 22, our Elementary Science
Explorers kicked off their winter session!
It is encouraging to see our high school Science teacher Mr. Kolb
investing in the lives of our elementary students. In addition to our Science Explorers, the
elementary hosted another testing session for our Math Club. You might think that taking a math test is
not very fun, and when 4th and 5th grade students only
receive 5 WORD problems to try and solve, you might think it even gets worse;
but let me tell you, my son Kenny has been attending and WAS very encouraged
after his last Math Club test. It is
amazing what God has done and is doing with our students. And speak about AMAZING, did you know that our
BBQ/Auction made budget? Through God’s
blessing and the efforts of many volunteers, we raised $46,910 for CCS. The complete breakdown is as follows:
- Receipts 80,376
- Expenses 33,466
- Net Proceeds 46,910
Our budget for the BBQ/Auction was
$43,300 leaving us $3,610 over budget . . . Praise God!
Science Explorers, Math Club, and
BBQ/Auction are great examples of God’s blessings but so is our special Pastors
Luncheon that is coming up in February.
On Thursday, February 12, we have the privilege of hosting the
Children’s Directors, Youth Pastors, and Senior Pastors of the churches
represented in our patron body. These
ministry workers will be treated to a catered lunch and enjoy the company of
the children and youth from their church – how cool is that!
Every time I think about the blessings
God brings into my life, and the life of CCS, I am reminded of the words from
the Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 13:14, “May
the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of
the Holy Spirit be with you all.” I
am reminded of that verse because I feel that grace, love, and fellowship . . .
I hope you do too.
