Class Schedule

We also invite and welcome family and ward youth, young adult and adult groups from these stakes to schedule visits for hands-on group training on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday evenings at 7 or 7:30PM. Since we have only 8 computers with internet commections, and are somewhat limited in space, we can do group presentations for larger groups rather than hands-on. Participants are welcome to bring their own laptops on which they should be able to get an internet connection available at all LDS Church chapels.
