The Gun Issue at Lifetree Cafe

 http://lifetreecafe.com/images/logo.jpg

On Sunday, March 10 at 6:00 pm, Lifetree Cafe at Prescott United Methodist Church will provide a program to discuss the gun issue.  This is a non-denominational and unbiased approach that will cover both sides, and anyone in the Prescott, AZ, area is welcome to attend.

The Lifetree way is to have discussions, not debates. To listen to each other, to learn from each other, and to consider several points of view as we have civil conversations.

If you want to see a preview of the program, please go to this link:

505 W. Gurley St.
Prescott, AZ 86301

If you have any questions, please call our church office at (928) 778-1950.

We hope to see you there!
