TRAIL LIFE
I understand the first regular meeting Tuesday went well. Both parents and their sons seem to be pleased with the curriculum, the instruction, etc. Thank God for the program, the workers, and the boys who are/will be attending.
I understand a girl’s version of this program is planned. If you are interested in being a part of working with the girls, please call the church office for more information.
