The International Resource Center (IRC)

The IRC is located on the North side of Memorial Lutheran Church. It is the meeting place for many classes and groups. You are welcome to use this room at other times, as a quiet place to study, to meet with a friend, or use the resources available. Resources include books and videos in English as well as other languages. Videos may be viewed in the TV/VCR in the room cupboard. The IRC is open whenever the church building is open.
