This is an opportunity for current CYF students—and anyone else who wants to learn more about the CYF program—to gather after chapel.

From 11:30 am to 12:30 pm in the Auxiliary Dining Room (OCC 148), we will be discussing CYF ministry in the Age of Science! Every participant will receive a free faith and science curriculum, and a few lucky guests will walk away with Andy Root’s newest book: “Exploding Stars, Dead Dinosaurs and Zombies.”

Can’t wait to see you there!
