Playing in the Light Training Workshop
By Wendy Schlotterbeck
We are delighted to be the host for a “Playing in the Light” workshop April 15, 16,
and 17. Michael Gibson from Friends General Conference will be the lead trainer. Because our Sunday School is growing, we would like to offer another class for the middle school age
Friends next year, and need more teachers.
Please consider if you would like to grow into this wonderful way of helping children
understand God. Please contact Wendy Schlotterbeck for more information about this
exciting event!

A note of appreciation for our youth and all they bring to our meeting!
You share such wonderful things with us “non-youth”. We are glad you are who you are.
Your newspaper, Forever Friends, is an interesting and enjoyable publication. You are
doing a great job putting out a high quality periodical. Thank you for your efforts, for a job
well done.
