Thank you to all that filled out our Faith Formation survey. In response, we are working on tailoring a program for the Fall that will meet concerns for maintaining the health and safety of our young church. We will continue with the 3 components that have been core to our program; prayer, faith instruction and service. Only the delivery of these elements will change. We are scheduled to begin October 19th and run for 5 weeks. Logistical information for attending will be sent out after registration. Register Now
