The winter-spring 2017 Word and Life series on The Rebirthing of God (Jan. 19 – Mar. 23, 2017) is now under way. The registration of $95 includes a copy of the book and admission to the remaining two-hour sessions, which make up the core of the Word and Life experience. Some financial aid is available for those with limited income. Please talk to Mr. Doering or another member of the Steering Committee about reduced tuition.
Kindly remember that Word and Life is a non-profit organization. We could not “pay the rent,” let alone our distinguished presenters, without meaningful help from donors who can contribute something extra to keep us afloat. Thank you for your support.
