'On the Corner' Tuesday & Thursday afternoons, 3:00 - 5:00 pm

Our afterschool tutoring program is continuing to grow each week as we try to meet the needs of the children that are attending.  The number of students has grown and we now are in need of more tutors.  Would you be willing to consider helping out once a week or once a month?  We can work around your schedule.  If you would like to be one of our volunteers or would like more information, please contact Mikki at 575-6490. To access the calendar to see where we still need help, visit http://www.volunteerspot.com/login/entry/712345634254422059

Join us on Friday evening, February 24th at 5:30 pm for a night of fun, learning, and service. This program is geared toward families, but all are welcome to come, enjoy, and learn. A simple dinner will be provided, we'll play a game to illustrate some of the issues surrounding hunger, and put together a box to address hunger in small ways here in Yakima. Please RSVP to Pastor Jim so that he knows how much food to provide, how much game materials are needed, and to receive "special" instructions on what you need to bring for the service project. Contact Pastor Jim at 575-649o.

 

Digital Photography Class with Rob Prout
Saturday, February 25th, 9:00 am-4:00 pm


Rob Prout (local artist/photographer/teacher) has offered to teach a class on digital photography at Central Lutheran. This class is totally free, but limited to 8 people, so please contact Pastor Jim quickly if you are interested at 575-6490.
Rob will be focusing on helping students to explore and choose the correct settings on their digital cameras and also sharing tips for photo composition. He is structuring this for beginners, so if you have vast experience in photography, this is probably not the class for you. We will meet in the CLC library at 9 am and take a break for lunch at noon (please bring your lunch or be sure to be back again by 1 pm) The class will end at 4 pm.
