Incredible Beginnings (A Glimpse at our Elementary Chapels)
By: Dr. Nate Johnson This past summer was the hardest working summer in CBA’s history. I am beyond grateful for all of the people who worked so diligently. And I am overwhelmed by the amount of times that God lowered the mountains and raised the valleys to pave the path. This past week was exhilarating to see both campuses bustling with loving and learning. I have never seen students more excited about being together.

Early Childhood News for Week of 8/27
 | |
In EC (Kindergarten and under) we are giving kids time to get used to their new teachers, some new classmates, and classroom routines. For this reason, chapel will start in a couple of weeks. In the meantime, I (Maestra Margarita) am visiting classrooms as a guest circle time speaker sharing with the children in bilingual form about who God is and that He loves them. For 3 and up, I am explaining that soon we will get together in the Sanctuary and see the stories of the Bible come alive by acting out the story, using puppets, etc.
