Local Worldview Class with Marcia Brim


We've been priveleged to know Marcia Brim for several years. And though she wouldn't characterize herself this way, she's a supermom: she writes books, runs a curriculum company, and teaches worldview and history classes—since she lives in California, though, it's a rare treat to offer one of her classes right here in the Portland area!

On March 17th and 19th, she's offering a two-day class in Oregon City. Highly recommended!
