I am a student at State College of Florida. In my religion class I am to go to learn about a religion and go to their congregation. I am doing this paper for class and would like to know if I could go to one of your meetings for church. I would very much like to do my paper on your families. Please let me know the time and place that we can meet.
Thank you,
Sharon Tucker
This is in Sarasota, Fl.
