"Houston, we have a problem, ..." Well, friends, our Easter Egg Hunt was off to a good start; however, we soon received word that the Google/Android side of the app hadn't been properly completed and there was no new app for our non-Apple friends. 😫 So, unfortunately, we had to suspend the Easter Egg Hunt and postpone it.

Well it has come time to say goodbye...and this is not a late April Fool's joke. No, not to me! To Brad Evans. Soccer Chaplains United has had an app (SoccChaplain) that we launched when we went through our rebranding a few years ago. A stock photo featuring Seattle Sounders MLS player, Brad Evans, has adorned our front page screen, letting athletes know where to click in our app for content that is designed for them.

Children are now full-time at home with their families. Learning and education that once happened in traditional school settings is now taking place online and at home with the willing or, maybe, not so willing work of the parent or guardian.
