3-4 adult education choices such as 1) Pastor-led study of The Lutheran Course 2) Bethel Bible 3) Last year’s Wednesday study group wants to continue

Other ideas – book study, current events study, Thrivent money management class (Ryan Jones at Thrivent is the contact)

A family and youth component for children. Might be for child and a parent following the summer FamilyFIRST night model; Family Nights tool chest lessons or another curriculum.

A fall booklet listing classes and activities should be prepared. It is suggested a line describing the commitment to prepare for class be included e.g. read 3 chapters of Ephesians; or no prep required.

Lay leadership will be needed for the Wednesday Night learning – see new task force

Library will have summer reading tables again this year in the Gathering Areas.

Dedication of the North Site lower level is June 27 following the Wednesday Night worship

Synod-sponsored Lay School of Ministry is accepting enrollments for the fall
