210 ProjectThe 210 Project is a 12-session study based on Ephesians 2:10: “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ

Jesus for good works, which God has prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” This study helps to

answer questions like, “What am I here for? What Does God want me to do with my

life? and Will the Lord give me the ability to do what He wants me to do?” This

practical, engaging and intentional process will guide you to discovering your unique

spiritual DNA. Class size is limited and preparations are being made for the next session

which will begin on Sunday, January 10, 12:15 p.m. at the La Vista Site. For more information, contact Brenda
