I will have the usual coed night on Tuesdays starting September 10th and the Wednesday Ladies night starting on September 11th starting with Lesson One. I will also have Zero week on September the 3rd and 4th for anyone who has not taken my class before or as a refresher for those who have.



If you live in the Gypsum area and would like me to order your workbooks please let me know soon. Workbook prices are as follows:

Genesis 1 = $15.99

Genesis 2 = $21.99

As you can see Precept has had to raise their prices also. If you want me to order them for you, we get shipping a little less expensive.  Please let me know what translation (NASB or ESV) if you want me to order yours. 

For those of you who are out of town, please go to Precept.org/Shop and order the Precept Upon Precept level books from there, just remember there is a fall rush for workbooks, so order early.

Please let me know if you want to sign up for the Genesis study by emailing me back or text me at 970-401-3810. 

Thank you and I hope to see all of you this fall!

In Christ together,
