How do we begin the day at CCS?

With a song and Bible teaching! We love our morning devotion time!

At the lower school campus, PK through 6th Grade begin the day in the gym with a song of worship, a scripture devotion, and the doxology. For students in the upper school, morning singing and devotion happens between 1st and 2nd period classes each day.

Some of this week's scriptures were:

• John 9:1-7
• John 3:16
• Psalm 34:8
• Psalm 34:12-14
