Paige Keifner, a former CCS student, had a special opportunity to  participate in the closing worship service during the Lutheran Youth Gathering in New Orleans this summer!  More than 25,000 people attended the Gathering.  Paige was 1 of 100 students selected to sing in the Superdome and she was chosen to sing a solo!  This was the largest audience Paige has performed for and admits she was a little nervous.  "All I could think was-don't think about the crowd-just sing."

Former CCS student, Kris Cook, went on his third mission trip this summer.  He's been to Mexico, but this was his second trip to El Salvador.  As well as spreading the Gospel, Kris and his group helped teach students in public schools the fundamentals of basketball and some English. Kris says, "I really enjoy these trips so much - the kids are really receptive to our message.  It was great to be able to apply what I've been learning at Saxony in religion and Spanish classes and make an impact in a new place."  He also says that all students should "find things you enjoy doing, but don't let other things slip.  Be well-rounded."
