Spend a Day Focused on America's Christian History
What a blessing to spend a day with friends from near and far. Many will be meeting online classmates in person for the first time, and others, like former FACE staff members, have not been together in many years. Good food and fellowship all for the low registration price of $50.
The morning from 10 to noon will be focused upon the early memories of FACE and its founders.
We will have time for friends over lunch and enjoy a video documentary.
Next, an afternoon with great master teachers – the fruit of Miss Hall & Slater’s vision. All mixed in with your personal memories, many of which may have never been shared! We will be making a video recording of the entire event as documentation of this part of the movement.
Our day together will close with a gala banquet.
