We especially encourage any of your members who have attended a Cursillo or Walk to Emmaus, or others interested in obtaining more information about Tennesee Valley Presbyterian Cursillo, to join us.

A light lunch will be served at noon by the host group at no charge. (A free will offering will be accepted if you desire to contribute to the cost of the food.) Read more...
