"How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!" ~ 1 John 3:1

2011-12 K-5 CHAPEL THEME: Discovering God through ART!

Chapel at CCS is a time when children are in an environment conducive toward growth in Christ. Jesus said, "If you see me, you will see the Father." It is our goal that the children experience God in creative ways at CCS so they will grow to be upright and glorious, a "planting of the Lord." (Is. 61).

When we LOOK at William Holman Hunt's "Jesus at the Door" we'll need to ask ourselves: have we opened the door to the Christ? Schumann said, "To send light into the darkness of men's hearts—such is the duty of the artist." As we LOOK at art this year we will absorb the spiritual truth behind paintings, sculpture, cathedrals, photography and more. We will focus on our identity as children of God...how to live peacefully & gratefully, learn better how to care for the poor...consider if & how our lives reflect God...and much more. And, if you'd like to join us, please do! 8:45-9:15 every Wed., in the dome.

As we encounter Christ we will strive to DO the things he did— whether by helping the poor or praying, sharing bread together or speaking words of healing. As Jesus journeyed with others—men and women— they became his disciples. Our goal is to walk freely in our identity as disciples, to persevere as we seek to life a life of grace. In Heb. 10: 24 Paul says: "Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds." (10:24). The bottom line is this: for kids to have a vital faith they need it to be REAL. Making a difference in our world, serving others, seeing how our actions (deeds) bring about positive change—such things cause faith to grow! "Faith, by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." (James 2:17)

Lauren, who has served as a spiritual leader with children for 17 years, has been with CCS as Spiritual Director since 2002. She creates and teaches two distinctly different weekly Chapels — for K-5 and middle school, 6-8th. Lauren, who is also an artist and writer, brings her gifts to bear as she teaches middle school Bible & Art, as well as various other elective classes. "Godly Play" is a class she teaches weekly to our "wee" ones, who apply what they learn in Chapel through art and puppetry. She loves her job with your children, appreciating that she gets to work among all age groups — the "little people" and the "older, cool ones".

Lauren and her husband, Rick, a financial consultant & awesome flyfisherman, are Chico State grads. They've been married since 1983 and have two children: Gabriel and Kate. Both Gabe and Katie attended CCS and look back on their years there with great fondness.
