Journey Of YouthJOY VILLAGE – Journey of Youth
Sundays – 9:00am to 12:00pm
CSLDallas offers joyful, enlightening Sunday classes for our Kids and Teens. Each Sunday dives into the principles of Science of Mind in age appropriate ways, while teaching the kids practical applications of a positive spirituality.
