Tonight, join the whole community for our the return of our annual Lenten Soup Supper... bring your CRS Rice Bowl and your own actual bowls and spoons! Staff have been preparing all week long for this evenings' service to community. We look forward to seeing many of you tonight.
Tomorrow is Good Friday with school closing at noon just after our living Stations of the Cross put on by the 7th Grade leaders.
Happy Easter and we look forward to joining together again when school and the office re-opens on Monday, April 25th! Read on for many May events and a few last April items including the final opportunities to participate in the Synodal process. |

We also encourage you to invite your family, friends and neighbors to participate. Everyone is welcome!
