2019-2020 STAFF CHANGES: · Our beloved teacher, Mrs. Sandra Dodds (Elementary PE, Grade 2 Team-Teacher) will be departing from CWAA, effective September 1, 2019. Mrs. Dodds has accepted the position of Music Teacher/Director at one of our sister Adventist schools, Fraser Valley Adventist Academy (FVAA) in Aldergrove, BC. While we are thrilled that Mrs. Dodds has a new opportunity to inspire children through music education, we are deeply saddened to have to say goodbye. She has been an extremely valuable and important part of our school community for the past 6 years. We will cherish the lasting impact she has made on our hearts and minds. Please take the time to share your gratitude and well-wishes with Mrs. Dodds, for her tremendous investment in our children. We wish Mrs.
Dodds God‘s richest blessings as she pursues God‘s dreams and plans!
· We are excited to share the news that Mrs. Alyssa Bergen (Grade 6 Teacher) is pregnant and expecting a baby in September! Praise God from whom all baby's flow! We will dearly miss Mrs. Bergen while she goes on maternity leave but look forward to meeting our new CWAA staff baby and watching God‘s blessings poured out onto Mr. & Mrs. Bergen‘s lives! Please take the time to share your congratulations with Mrs. Bergen!

His Great Love 4 Us “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” John 3:16, 17
Greetings Chinook Family,
In our finite minds it is hard to fathom this level of sacrifice and what it truly cost God for Jesus to leave heaven, become human, still be God and reach us here on this sin infested world.
The free gift of salvation paid in full by Jesus is what has stirred the hearts of men and women through the centuries. Many of which suffered and still suffer great turmoil and hardship, all because they accept and daily call on the name of Jesus Christ as
their Lord and Saviour.
Let us hold and tightly embrace this precious gift of grace given by Jesus who continues to say to us “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am [f]gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30
May we never allow our minds to belittle this sacrifice, that cost heaven everything and is given to us as a free gift. I can‘t wait to thank Jesus personally. How about you?
Have a blessed Easter in the assurance of Jesus as your Lord and Saviour.
In Christ,
Paul Antunes
