Spiritual Wellness Workshop Coming Soon!
Dec. 5th & 12th at The Village
As part of an expanded Spiritual Wellness focus during Advent, Pasha Buck is leading a workshop on Intercessory Prayer, with emphasis on using imagery, rather than words.

Please email Pasha ( Pasha@Pasha-Doorways.com) or call her
between 4 and 7 p.m. at 515-962-4764 to register for the workshop.
