Jr/Sr Christian Life Skills Class
The next class will be Wed., December 1st, 6pm downstairs in the activity center. 
The idea is to help young adults understand finances, bill paying & things that are not taught in school to protect from being overwhelmed with debt.  Valda Lamprecht and David Styra will be heading up the course, allowing students input into topics of discussion, meeting dates/times, etc. 
Refreshments will be included.

Adult Evangelization Class
You are invited to our new program of Adult Evangelization.
We will meet on Sunday’s during Religious Education classes.
Meet downstairs in the activity center for
coffee and donuts and the opportunity to grow in your Faith.
It is a great time to grow and maybe find the answers to questions you may have.
This is a great opportunity to meet fellow members of our church and grow in faith together.
This program has no cost and we will provide the websites and apps on our first class.
