Discovery Class, Session 6 · Clayton Valley Church
Three worksheets, one for each homework question. Work through a sheet the same way you would on paper. Your answers are kept in this browser on this device only. Nothing is sent anywhere, nothing is stored on the church site, and none of it is collected. Print at any time and all three sheets come out with your answers in place.
Leave a field blank where your word does not pay on that detail. Not every word rewards every detail. The blanks are not failures. They are what tells you which details this particular word rewards.
