Reminder there will be Safe Sanctuary training for those who signed to help in Sunday after church at 12:30.  The training will go to approximately 2:30 pm.  Pizza will be provided.

 

The following Sunday, also for those who volunteered for Sunday school, we will have an opportunity for you to come into the classroom and see how we conduct our classes.  Email reminders will also be sent out to those individuals.  We always have more room for volunteers, so please let Fez Saige or Lisa Wille know if you are interested .
