Faith 101 - Saturday March 6, 8:30am - 2:00pm 
It doesn’t matter if you’ve been attending the church 2 weeks or 2 years, if you’ve got questions, Faith 101 is the place to get them answered. The next session will be held on Saturday, March 6 from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Come for a time of fellowship and learning about Faith Church - how it fits into the larger community of El Dorado County and the Episcopal Church, where we are going, and how we got to where we are. This class is especially important for Episcopalians who are coming from another Episcopal church.

Lunch will be served, and child care is available if you request it in advance. Please contact the church office if you will be attending so we can plan on you! Call (530) 676-5348 or e-mail faithec@faithec.org.

Faith 101 is held quarterly. If this date doesn’t work for you, put Saturday, June 5 on your calendar!
