Each week the churches take turns leading worship and providing the soup dinner. Since First United Methodist of Los Alamos is hosting this year they will lead worship the first week and provide soup for dinner.

Classes will be offered for all ages, children through adult. A nursery will be available for children 0-2 years old. Preschool and elementary children will each have a class and a financial literacy class will be offered for youth. Five adult classes will be offered lead by leaders from Faith and Science, the Jewish Center, Bethlehem Lutheran, Trinity on the Hill and The United Church.
