Technology Workshop
Several of our senior adults want to learn how to use their smartphones and tablets a little better. We will be offering a technology workshop where our youth can sit with a senior adult or two and they can work together to answer questions. We will ask folks to submit their questions or things they want to know in advance so that we can adequately prepare.
On March 25th, youth will come to the church at noon for lunch and then the Senior Adults will come at 1. We will spend about an hour or so working together in small groups and hopefully it is a meaningful time for all.
