Blue & White Night 2025: A Celebration of Prayer, Fellowship and Community
This fall, we were blessed to complete our two-part Blue & White Night celebration, a beautiful reflection of our school’s heart for prayer, unity and community.
Our first gathering on September 5 brought families together for a Candlelight Prayer Walk, during which we lifted up our school, faculty and students in heartfelt prayer. The evening was filled with peace, purpose and the shared hope that God would continue to guide and bless our CCS community.
Then, on October 17, we came together once again for an amazing day of worship, fellowship, food and fun! This event was a true celebration of community, gathering in the Sports Complex Community Area, and featuring our first-ever CCS Chili Cookoff, bounce houses, face painting, and an inspiring performance by our very own Christian band, City on a Hill. It was wonderful to see both new and longtime CCS families join together, strengthening the bonds that make our community so special.
We are so grateful for every family who joined us for these special nights. Your prayers, participation and joyful presence made these events unforgettable. We look forward to continuing this new tradition for years to come!
CCS Hosts First Annual Chili Cookoff on Blue & White Night
The aroma of chili and the spirit of friendly competition filled the air alongside this year’s Blue & White Night as CCS hosted its First Annual Chili Cookoff!
Twelve enthusiastic teams brought their best recipes, creative flair and plenty of community spirit to the competition. Our panel of judges, Steve Hettiger, Patrick Leonard, Taylor Long, Karen McGrath, Debbie Mooney and Ashlee Wisenbaker had the tough task of tasting and scoring each entry before announcing the winners.
🥇 First Place: Mesquite River Chili
🥈 Second Place: Northern Exposure’s Heat Wave
🥉 Third Place: Rein Check Chili Co.
The community also joined in the fun, enjoying the cool fall weather and festive atmosphere of the Sports Complex Community Area. Guests cast their votes for the People’s Choice Award, which went to The Cast Iron Council, while Faith, Fire & Flavor earned Best in Show for their spirited and lively tent! We are so thankful for everyone who participated, tasted and cheered on their favorite teams. The CCS Chili Cookoff was a huge success, and we look forward to making it a beloved annual tradition for years to come!
