Created by God...

January 10 & 11 2020 Weekend Workshop

You and your son or daughter are invited to participate in a special event called Created by God. Open to children in the 4th, 5th and 6th grade, Created by God is a study of human sexuality with a Christian foundation. It will offer both you and your child an opportunity to learn, grow, and celebrate the fact that we have each been wonderfully made by God, and are called to responsible living as sexual beings. This study involves a major time commitment on the part of the parents, students and leaders, but the benefit will be well worth the investment. Using a highly interactive approach to learning, Created by God is a lot of fun for everyone involved. Students are expected to attend all of their sessions during this weekend workshop.

The schedule is as follows:

Parents - Friday, January 10 - 6:00pm – 7:00pm

Students - Friday, January 10 – 5:00pm - 9:00pm (dinner served to students)

Students - Saturday, January 11 – 9:00am – 3:00pm (lunch will be served to students)

The fee for this event is $25.00 per child , covering the cost of materials, meals, snacks and supplies. Please sign up HERE
