+ SUNDAY SCHOOL UPDATE
Many thanks to all who attended the meeting last Sunday and your assistance in helping determine our next steps with Sunday School. Responding to popular demand, the 9 am Sunday Service will continue at this time.
Ideas discussed for Fall included having a short Sunday school class right after the 9 am service; including music in the service and/or class; and incorporating a video component in the short lesson after the 9 am service.
No firm decision was reached, so we welcome more feedback on what is desired for the next Church year. Another meeting on plans for the fall will happen this summer at a time to be announced in the weekly Acts. If you have ideas to share in the meantime, please feel free to email Peter Patton.

Did you know…? CHA has a weekly Bible Study class on Thursdays from 11am-12pm. We meet via Zoom to read and discuss God’s Word. Currently, we’re working through the Gospel of John.

The third photo is a bit more local. Can you guess where and/or whose vehicle?
