 Transformation Church (TC) “Town Hall” Meetings

This will be done through a series of “town hall” meetings held on Sunday’s following services.  The time for each meeting will be 2:15 pm until 3:30 pm.  You are on your own for lunch.  The meetings are scheduled as follows:

Sunday, January 22nd – TC Report

Sunday, February 5th – Discussion and Questions

The plans will then be implemented over the next several months.  Every member of CRF is invited and encouraged to attend these meetings.  If you have questions please see Pastor Joel.  In case of inclement weather the meetings will be rescheduled accordingly.
