The Mane Events Fall 2020 Volume 26, Issue 1 Fudge Fest 2020!!! It’s our 6th annual Fudge Fest! This fundraiser is the largest fundraiser for our school and we’ve added a couple of exciting items this year.

With these new additions we have boosted our sales quite a bit! We also added incentives for our students this year. They can win lanyards/bracelets once they sell 10 boxes, a mini candy bouquet if they sell 30 boxes, and a mystery trip (after covid restrictions are eased) if they sell 40 boxes as an individually or 60 boxes as a family!

It is not always easy to fulfill this mandate—one does not always feel joyful. But by faith, we choose joy and we encourage our students to choose joy as well. The hallmark of Chrisitanity is that we don’t live by what we see, hear, or feel but we live according to the Word of God –...though you have not seen him, you love him; even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls. 1 Peter 1:8-9 Grasping hold of the promise in this verse, “you...are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy”, a person can realize that it really comes down to choosing to allow God to fill us with that joy—we have Jesus and truly that is enough to fill my heart clear to the brim and overflow- ing—It is joy unspeakable and full of glory! -Liana Holt, CCS Office Manager Calendar of Events Vision Doug Holt, VP of the Board November Vision: the ability to think about or plan the 11/27-11/29 NO School - Happy future with imagination or wisdom.

By using wisdom and faith we can see CCS families working together to meet the 12/18 CCS Christmas Program needs of our school-now and in the future. We 7:00 pm First Baptist know we can’t do this alone, it takes everyone Church of us who care about CCS to be involved in moving this school into the next chapter of 12/22 2nd Quarter Ends growth. Looking to the past for wisdom, and into the future with faith, we remain faithful to 12/23-1/4 Christmas Break the call. How do you see the school in five years, 1/5 Professional Development ten years? A story I once heard told about two Day inmates in a jail cell looking out the window at January night, one said to the other inmate “look at all the stars in the sky”, the other said “all I see is 1/6/2020 School Resumes bars”. The moral of this story is both were right. When you look into the future of CCS, TBD Soup Supper (Jan. or Feb.) are you looking for the stars or are the bars in your way today? Look again, there are people at CCS that are leaning over the edge, looking for a path of growth; help anchor them as they forge a path we all can follow. I believe God has a plan for CCS and it’s a plan for success, a plan for life, a plan for victory and growth. 4 Preschool –Miss Megan We are pleased to have our pre- school program up and running this year!
