April General meeting of WELCA
Larson Hall beginning at 7 p.m.
I am sure that many of us have asked ourselves as our Praise Dance group performs, "Could I do that if I tried?" Now we are going to find out, for Desiree will lead us in a Praise Dance Workshop that evening. She promises us that it
will not be beyond the ability of most of us.
For a lifetime, Pastor Blomquist has kept a Journal every day. At
the April meeting he will ask us, "Do You Keep a Journal? Why?
How?" As he shares his answers to these questions, we will
determine if we should begin doing that very thing.
Come and bring your friends to this interesting evening.
