Communion Class

On January 21st we will be offering a Communion Class led by Pastor Matt Overton and Tifny Mathena. This class is for any child (or adult!) that feels ready to partake in this sacrament and would like to have a greater understanding of what exactly communion is and why the sacrament matters! Registration for this event will open the first week of 2024.
