2) How to Register
You are asked to submit a form for your class preference based upon the class day and time. This form will be available for a limited time in the Sunday bulletin or in the church office. You may also register online below.
Please indicate your preference of the days and times that work best in your schedule. Mark your most preferred day and time with a “1”, and your least preferred day and time with a “5”, if you are able to attend at all of the sessions. If you have no preference, then mark all of the days and times that you are able to participate with a “1”.
We will attempt to balance your preference, when you send in your registration, and class size, so that we might have the best conversation in all five classes that are being offered.
