Best Christmas Pageant Ever Production - THIS WEEK!
🎄 You’re Invited! 🎄
Get ready for holiday chaos, laughter, and heartwarming moments as The Best Christmas Pageant Ever comes to life on our stage—brought to you by our talented CCA Theater Club students.
When the Herdman kids—wild, mischievous, and totally unpredictable—decide to join the church Christmas pageant, the town braces for disaster. No one expects these rascals to actually steal the show, but with a mix of humor, unexpected wisdom, and plenty of Christmas spirit, they transform the pageant into an unforgettable celebration. This hilarious and heartwarming story is a reminder that the true meaning of Christmas can shine through in the most unlikely ways.
Dates: November 21st and 22nd, 2025
Location: Church Street Auditorium in Downtown McKinney
306 N Church St, McKinney, TX 75069

Colder Weather Means Warmer Attire!
Colder Weather Means Warmer Attire!
With colder weather arriving, please ensure students come dressed for the temperature. While we work to keep classrooms comfortable, our historic buildings can vary in warmth. Students should dress in layers and bring CCA-approved outerwear for use indoors. Please refer to the guidelines below.
Students should also bring coats for outdoor time. We will continue to eat and play outside when weather permits. Outdoor coats do not need to be CCA-approved.
Outerwear Guidelines:
CCA Lands’ End or CCA-approved outerwear with a CCA logo may be worn in the classroom (sweaters, sweatshirts, hoodies, jackets, windbreakers, letter jackets). Gray, black, burgundy, and white are acceptable. All outerwear must be worn over a CCA uniform shirt.
Non-uniform coats may only be worn outdoors and when transitioning between buildings.
Solid burgundy, gray, black, or white leggings/tights may be worn with skirts/skorts/jumpers; no designs or holes.
Backless shoes, house shoes, moccasins, slippers, and blankets are not allowed on campus.
On particularly cold days, administration may announce jeans and spirit wear. Notices will be sent via Teams and other communication platforms. Unless notified, students should wear normal uniform. School closures or delays will also be communicated via Teams and Skyward.
Identity in Christ Devotional Book
Identity in Christ Devotional Book
This year, SIP's theme focuses on discovering who we are in Christ. To support this, we recommend the devotional Identity: Discovering Who You Are in Christ (31-Day Devotionals for Teenagers).
Written specifically for teens, it offers daily encouragement, scripture, and practical applications that point students to their true identity in God. It also aligns beautifully with CCA's theme, “Created on Purpose for a Purpose.” Parents will find it helpful too, as a way to foster spiritual growth for the whole family.
Order through the link below—charges will go to your FACTS account. Please order by Friday, December 5th to have it in time for next semester's Students in Prayer meeting. Thank you for helping our students grow in faith and confidence in Christ!
