Life Connections

Join us Sundays at 9:45 a.m. in Room 206.

E-mail Cheryl Brown for more details about this class.

Welcome!

Life Connections is a fun, casual class made up of people in our 30s and 40s. Most of us are parents with young children. We meet weekly to study the Bible as well as learn about how to strengthen our relationships with friends, family and God. In addition, we gather regularly to participate in potluck dinners, family picnics, couples nights out, bowling, camping and more. If this sounds like a group you would like to take part in, please visit our class Sundays at 9:45 a.m. in room 206.
