Study of the Month: "The Book of James" by Francis Chan
True faith produces fruit. A faith without action and without life change is ultimately a dead faith. The book of James speaks to the realities of a living faith in Jesus—the kind of roll-up-your-sleeves and get-your-hands-dirty discipleship that is borne out of an authentic relationship with the risen Lord. James writes to believers who know suffering, who've faced trials, and who ultimately desire a deep relationship with God.
Francis Chan unpacks the dense truth contained in the book of James in front of the iconic backdrop of San Francisco, the city where he lives and ministers. Through 12 sessions, Francis works through James verse-by-verse, challenging followers of Christ to move beyond a private, intellectual knowledge of God and His Word, to a vibrant faith that impacts every square inch of life.
Grandparents' Day
Every year at CCS, Grandparents’ Day is one of the highlights for our elementary students! On Friday, October 4, nearly 70 grandparents and special guests visited for the morning and enjoyed a special time with their grandchildren. The day began with an address from the school’s administration followed by skits and songs from each elementary classroom. Then, grandparents were invited to visit individual classrooms to share special time with their precious ones. We are so grateful for the investment of these special adults in our students’ lives!
