On Sunday, Oct. 4^th our Confirmation Class and High School Youth  will be attending their Outdoor Worship Service at 10:15 a.m. and following we will be given a lesson on how the Indian Culture connects with God and nature and how our Christian beliefs are much the same.   We would like to have all Confirmation Class youth & High School youth attend.  We will share lunch and help out at the event as we are needed.  This will be our Confirmation Class for that day.  There will be no class at 6:00 that evening.    Make sure you mark your calendars.
