A very deep thank you to all of the families that contributed meals to our family over the past few weeks. Special thanks for all of the cards, letters and prayers. It does work! Thank you! Love, Dawn Morgan

It's always a joy to spend time with our Senior Saints. We want all of you to know that we cherish your friendship, we need your wisdom, and we thank you for all the ways you support and encourage the Youth Group. Thank you for allowing us to share a Spanish Fiesta with many of you on Saturday night. We hope the food wasn't too spicy, the music wasn't too loud, and our efforts to be waiters and waitresses were not too bumbling. We had a fun time and hope we were an encouragement to you as you are to us. May we continue to grow together, in love, in Christ, as we love and serve one another.

'Cider Press' Youth Rally was an enjoyable and encouraging weekend for the thirty teens and three adults from here who were able to attend. We joined some 300 others for a wonderful time of fellowship, study of God's word, and devotion to God. Thank you John Simpson for being a chaperone and for taking my place as the bus driver. That made it possible for me to use road time sharing and talking with the kids. And thank you Mallory Jaynes for being the girls' chaperone. I know they appreciate you, as I do.

'Come Before Winter' is our next big youth event. The new dates are November 15th - 17th! We have been given permission to use the Rudes' cabins on the St. Joe River at St. Maries again. Thank you Don & Betty and Eldon & Ruby! That is such an awesome place for this retreat, which seems to be the most spiritual highlight of all our activities each year. Teens, make your plans NOW to attend. Don't let anything get in the way of this opportunity for deep spiritual growth. I hope every member of our youth group will attend.

The year at CCS is progressing! We have students achieving things they thought were unattainable, memory verses flow with ease on most of our Fridays, and Bible classes reveal exciting truths to students in all of our classes. We are very busy with many activities for God! We are thankful to have a great secretary that can initiate and delegate! She has that tender heart, giving attitude, and ambitious character that Jesus often talked about. Thank you Jennifer!

We appreciate all your concern for the progress of the school! We are getting volunteers for our areas of student need. Whether it is listening to someone read, reading to someone, showing what 2 + 2 really is, or helping a student spell a word correctly, our tutoring people are a great asset to CCS. We appreciate the extra singing times we have with Mike Reeves on Thursday mornings. This is so much fun for Mike and ALL of us! We also hope to have a short singing class for our Jr. High students with Mike as their director.

We celebrate God each day. I mean, we do that right here on site. As Christians, we should feel fortunate to be able to speak and act....in HIS STEPS each day. This should move us, excite us, and motivate us each all day as we work through the obstacles that greet us. How exciting to praise God in so many ways! The wisdom and doctrine of Scripture teach us that the experience of celebrating God is the 'CORE'.....yes, the CORE of worship! So, we must start with a grateful heart....a Christ-like heart....an attitude of I am here for YOU. I care about you. I want to help you today. I want you to succeed. I want to encourage you. I am smiling because of YOU.

As we rejoice before the Lord, as we serve Him, as we enter into the Love that surrounds our days, as we give thanks to Him for His Kindness and Faithfulness, we celebrate God. How does your day begin? How does it end? Who do you rely on? Who do you praise? Are you leaning on Him or are you leaning on what the 'world' has to offer. True happiness comes from leaning on God each step of the way!
