The free classes will run from 9 to 11:45 a.m. daily, and are open to all children age 3 through the sixth grade. The event will have a Western theme, with children making crafts and playing Native American games.

Children registered before June 15 will receive a T-shirt. For more information or to register, call the church office at 535-2687.
