Following breakfast, join us for a special chapel at 8:30 a.m. in the Worship Center. Come be refreshed by a message from our guest speaker & cartoonist, Pastor Rigo Garcia! After chapel, please visit your grandchild's classroom and see them in action from 9:00 a.m.-10:00 a.m. We ask that only grandparents attend the breakfast (no CFA students or parents), due to limited space in the Fellowship Hall.
