Techniques will equip the attendee with the skills necessary to progress to an intermediate and then advanced level (should one want to further their aptitude).
St. Jerome Catholic Church personally extends an invitation to you and encourages you to bring a few of your family members or friends along! The basic skills workshop is designed for ages 12 and older.
When: Wednesday, June 6, 2018, from 6:30-7: 30 pm.

"A Forest View of the Bible"
Wednesday, June 27th
6:30 PM - 8:30 PM
In the Anne and Joachim Hall"Sometimes the Bible can be overwhelming so let's back up and take a forest view of the Bible. The Bible is broken into different sections. As we walk through the forest of the Bible, each part of the forest has a type of tree growing in it whose characteristics illustrate that particular section of the Bible. Our "walk" will be illustrated on a 4' x 24' drawing and a PowerPoint presentation as well as an Excel spreadsheet for each individual.”
Presented by Vicki Gaitros, this retreat will consist of two short talks with a break in between for snacks and socializing.
Please call the office to register.
