Classes will generally run along a quarter system (12 weeks), with new offerings starting at the same time in the fall, winter and spring. However, since classes within a quarter may be staggered (i.e., differing number of sessions), students are welcome to join in an ongoing class, provided there is room, for the duration of the quarter.

OR

Those not part of a class or between classes are invited to gather with others in the parlor of the Ministry House for prayer, praying through the weekly prayer sheet and the order of service and activities in that Sunday’s bulletin.
