By Kierra Higgins:
It’s easy to declare our love for God, but the true extent of our love for Him is demonstrated in the way we treat others. The truth is that whatever we do to others, we do to Him. Learn how to see Him in the people around you and to go on a love offensive that will change the world!

Though we do not know how they contracted the flu, we do want you to be aware so that you can identify symptoms, should they occur, and obtain appropriate treatment. If you become aware of CHIC participants who are diagnosed with this flu strain, please email Christian Formation immediately.

Lots of videos will be available for free download in about two weeks. We’re giving the video crew, who worked rather non-stop during CHIC, a short break, and then they’ll be adding proper credits to the end of all the clips. I’ll post these as soon as I get them.

Live CHIC music will be available from iTunes in October. The timing on that is beyond our control, so learn the chords and lyrics until then.

Leftovers from the CHIC bookstore are being inventoried and will soon be available for order from the online Covenant Bookstore. Early next week for that.

Also, many, many more pictures will be rolling out in the days ahead, so keep checking back.
