Create Playspace with the President

When you get some new technology — a new phone, a computer upgrade or this year’s automobile — don’t you want to play with it to see what it can do? That’s the idea behind a series of one-hour sessions that the United Church of Christ National Setting is calling “Create Playspace with the President.”
