Our Lost & Found is located behind the Welcome
Center in the Commons.

In the Ministry Class, we will focus on God's plan for each
of our lives. He would not give us inborn talents and
temperaments, spiritual gifts, and all sorts of life
experiences and then not use them! By reviewing and
studying these factors, we can discover the ministry he
has for us ... the unique way God intends for us to serve
Him. You must take the Membership and Maturity Class
before taking the Ministry Class.
Sign up at www.ccgf.org/blt.
Contact: Nancy Kramer, 412-741-4900, ext. 156.
