The Party

Hey Leaders and CoLeaders,

Because there was not a sermon this past Sunday, May 5th, we do not have any questions per se.  

If you meet the week of May 5th-11th you can either refer to the Strapped questions since the last message of the series was probably preached since you last met.  Or you can just celebrate with your group all that CCA is and means to you all, give testimonies about lives changed in the church, etc.

Love you guys so much and if some in your group did not get to see the 5 year documentary you can click here and show that too at your group meeting. 

Hope you have a great week!!
Tina
