First Aid Training - Sat. September 13, 2-4pm
Join us as we go over basic first aid techniques, along with a refresher on using the AED.  In addition, you will be learning how to use the new LifeVac anti-choking device. We will also go over first aid supplies we have on hand at church and where they are located. 

Stop the Bleed Training - Sat. October 11, 2-4pm
This training will go over what you can do to help control major bleeding until help arrives. We will go over, and use, different types of tourniquets and learn what scenarios they are best used for. You will also learn how to pack a wound to help control bleeding from the inside. This is a hands-on training class.

McGyver First Aid Training - Sat. October 25, 2-4pm
What do you do when you need to render first aid but you either have no supplies or have run out of the supplies you had on hand? This training will cover what else you can use for bandages, splints, etc. We will also go over pressure bandaging and how to do bandaging when you have no tape. This is a hands-on training class.  

Disaster Preparedness Training - Sat. November 22, 2-4pm
What essentials should you be keeping on hand in the event of a disaster?  Do you know how you would survive if the grid went down for an extended period of time and you aren't able to access things you normally don't even think about?  We will be going over a list of things that are good to have readily available, and where to keep them.
