Institute Updates

There will be no class on May 20th. The final lesson in the Jewish festivals series will be on Tuesday May 27, taught by Bishop Read.

June 10th we will begin the next series, "Using Gospel Principles in Building Relationships". This is an exciting look at how to put scriptural principles and the teaching of modern prophets into action. This class is for everyone, so we encourage you to come even if you have not come out to Institute in a long time (or ever). The teachers will be a group of real pros on the subject. We will put out a syllabus once the teachers are set on dates.

Classes are Tuesdays at 7:30 pm at the King Street Chapel.
