Have you ever wondered how to prepare for Lent? Or, why we should
prepare for Lent? Or, how does the church prepare for Lent? For answers,
please come to a one session class on Sunday, February 15, during the
education hour. We learned some of the above during one of our January Lay
School classes, and thought it worth sharing. We hope to see you there! We
will meet in the dining room. class is being presented by Dave Hoks and Kate
Christianson.
