1. Chapel!
To kick off our elementary chapel last Friday our Jr. Cougar worship team, under the direction of our beloved music teacher Mrs. Draper, taught and led us in a new song about the Great Commission passage in Matthew 28. We then had the unique and so very special opportunity to welcome back one of our very own! Laura Ann Stauffer, a 2019 CCS graduate and now alumni, was our guest speaker. Laura Ann engaged and captivated our Jr. Cougars by sharing with them her journey the Lord called her on for Him to "go make disciples" in Mongolia. Perhaps one of the key moments in her sharing was how the first time she felt His leading to being a long-term missionary was when she was just eight years old!!! Laura Ann explained to our littles and bigs her desire to deliver the message about the saving love of Jesus to all the world and for now, that is in Mongolia. She also gave students an opportunity to ask her questions about her recent trips there and how she is preparing to leave again at the end of February for as long as God has her there. I for one was impressed with the interesting and thoughtful questions they asked. We then had the JOY of praising the Lord with her by singing and dancing to one of her favorite worship songs. As we concluded our chapel time Our Jr. Cougar small groups prayed together for Laura Ann while our elementary dream team prayed with and for her too. What a precious gift to Laura Ann and to all of us!
Coming up at our elementary chapel next Friday, with the enthusiastic help and gracious assistance of a couple of eager and excited fourth graders the Jr. Cougars will dig into the depths of the new character trait of LOVE and the impact of words on the hearts of others.
