PRE -K RELIGION IN NEED OF VOLUNTEERS    Have you been wondering how you can give back to the Church, but don’t have a lot of time to spare? We have an opportunity for you!  Pre-K Religion is in need of teachers that are Virtus certified.  We hope to begin offering classes in October, 2009. The time commitment is minimal and you will only “teach” every other Sunday (during 9am mass) which amounts to only 10 classes that you would help prepare. Please consider introducing the concepts of God and Bible stories into the lives of our 3-5 year olds.  Call Candace Doepker at 859-572-0113 for more information or email at doepkercl@insightbb.com.   Parents – forms for registration will be available soon – keep you eyes on the bulletin and Scoop for more information.
