Teach Me to Fish
Mini classes based on the adage that you can feed a man a fish and he is full for the day but if you teach a man to fish he is set for a lifetime. Clients are participating in mini classes teaching cooking skills, budgeting, meal planning, relationships, job searches and much more. Come join us on Wednesday or Friday as we explore what the Bible says about every phase of our life
