Following the recent purchase of an automated external defibrillator (AED) at Grace Lutheran Church West Springfield, several members have expressed interest in learning how to use the device in the event of an unexpected emergency situation.

To that end, Sunday, Nov. 2, 2014, at 10:30 a.m. ET (immediately following the 9:30 a.m. worship service), the West Springfield Fire Department will hold a class for anyone interested in AED training. Members of Grace as well as the general public who would like to learn how to use an AED are welcome to attend.
