Reaching Out and Building Up

Upcoming CCHS Fall Fest

One of the things that is most emphasized at CCHS is community. The upcoming Fall Fest, being both the leaf-raking event and the lock-in, demonstrates two major parts of being a community of believers: reaching out and being in fellowship. During the afternoon on November 14, students will rake leaves for people around the neighborhood who cannot do it themselves, working with Fridley Chores and More to help the elderly and disabled take care of their yards. This is something that CCHS does annually, and it has had a big impact on the people around us. Emma DeVries, a senior, says that when she talked to someone who was part of Chores and More, “she said that we’re they’re biggest contributor; that means a lot to the community around us.” That same night from six to twelve there will be a lock-in for high school students at the Blaine campus. Here they will be able to grow in friendship in a comfortable environment. “It’s a different way for us to have fun,” says Emma DeVries.
