* REGISTRATION NOTES: The registration fee is per computer, meaning that you can gather as many people around the computer screen as you want for the one $800 fee. We actually hope that congregations will have a group attending since we hope that those groups will be working together on real projects for your congregation during the class. So, if you have a large screen TV that would allow 5-6 people to watch and listen, go for it. We just need to limit the number of computers participating in the video conference.
° PAYMENT PLAN: You may register with a payment of $200 and then pay the balance before the 2nd class on October 15th. If it’s easier to make smaller payments up to October 15th that works, too.
