2010-2011 Year

I've inputted all our information for the year and I'm SUPER excited. I tried to give everyone there top 3 things for the year as well as any things that more than one person were interested in. I think it's gonna be great. If there are any mistakes or things that need changing, feel free to change them or email or call me. Also, notice each persons name is next to the class they are responsible for teaching. Feel free to get grandmas or aunts,uncles, etc to teach it if they are more comfortable teaching than you are. If it's WAY out of your comfort zone, let me know and we will see if we can change it. Also, if anyone wants to make this blog cuter and has lots of free time to do it, please feel free. I've tried...this is as cute as I could get it...sad, I know. Here is to a great new year training our children together.

Finishing Hand Tools

This Sunday, we will be finishing up Hand Tools for our Contenders of Faith. Our Carpentry Expert, "Big" Kevin, will be leading our boys in utilizing the skills they have been learning and practicing.
A big thanks to all the men who are leading our boys and helping to train them. They are...the men of tommorrow!
