Safe Kids Zone Training: August 25th at 12:30pm
We would like to encourage all First City volunteers who have children who are minors, FC volunteers who work with children, and foster families to attend the Safe Kids Zone Training this Sunday. This will take place after second service at 12:30pm. We are hosting this training session to educate First City volunteers and foster families on how to recognize, report, and reduce child abuse.
