Today, 22 youth and 6 adults representing 13 congregations departed from First Christian in Norman to begin the education and spirituality adventure we call International Affairs Seminar. The group will spend the next 8 days learning about the topic of study and experiencing Washington DC and New York City. We are grateful to the congregations that supported their youth and adults going on this trip.
We are grateful for our transportation providers: First Christian in Sulphur (Kathy and Kirk Standridge driving) and First Christian in Norman (Jeff Champeau) driving.
