Sessions continue on Sunday morning, May 28, 8:30 a.m. or, following the service in the Trailhead

Have you ever wondered about the soil your spiritual “tree” is planted in? That soil is you, all you have learned and done up until now. The soil you have become is unique to you and your life experiences. It is uniquely prepared for deep roots and long branches. It has been prepared by God, even before you were born. The results of this self-assessment can be a way to help us figure out what God is calling us to - so we can live out our special "call" from God to impact lives for Him and extend long branches of mercy into the world.
Sunday classes will be offered on May 28 and June 4 to assist in filling out the assessments and for open discussion. Class times are 8:30 - 9:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. Questions? Contact Stan Blackwell
