EFY Special Editions - New for Summer 2008!

We are excited to announce three Special Edition sessions of EFY!

These sessions will include all of the excitement you have come to expect from EFY, including games night, variety show, musical program, dances, and more. Instead of typical classroom instruction, your classroom on Tuesday and Wednesday will be visiting church history sites in the local area.

See the heart of the restoration, and the early beginnings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints firsthand.

Space is limited. Register early!
