All Elgin District Laity are invited to attend a 90-minute gathering for a time of sharing, prayer, District Lay Servant Ministry(LSM) updates, and information gathering for an early spring 2021 Virtual Lay Academy.
We plan to offer several LSM courses with two Lay Academies in 2021 with the highest attendance in years. The Spring Lay Academy will be virtual so we need to get input in order to successfully meet the needs of the Elgin District Laity.

Our team wants to hear from you! Join us Tuesday Nov. 17 or Saturday Nov. 21!
To receive your Zoom link for either session, please contact Connie Schweitzer via email at cepschw@att.net.
