Class… since Cisco can not have visitors, Debbie Morgan asked if we could do a short video of the class wishing him well and send it to him. I think it is a great idea. This Sunday after the prayer and guest segment; we will gather in front of the class and take a video of us wishing him well. It should only take a few minutes.
