University of Transformation

In the Fall of 2022 we had hot topics each Wednesday night...a variety of them… One special topic
was the subject of Monkey Pox with Dr. Jill from Dallas.

Spring 2023 session classes included: Lessons in Relationships from the life of Boaz and Ruth,
The 17 Indisputable Laws of Teamwork, Find Your People: Building Deep Community in a Lonely
World, Foundations for Faith, and T-Shirt Quilting With Purpose.

The summer session was led by various church leaders as they discussed questions submitted by the

congregation.

Vacation Bible School

Twists and Turns based on Psalm 25:4 was the theme for summer 2023. Veronica Griffith along with
many wonderful volunteers lead a successful week that ended with several baptisms. Children were
taught that Jesus guides them through all the twists and turns of their lives.
