            As a participating Branch Church, our members are being asked to metaphysically support this opportunity to reach out with a “cup of cold water” to those presently unable to attend lectures on “the outside.” Love knows no walls.

Our newly elected Readers are Kathy Kilgore, First Reader, and Marry Moore, Second Reader. They will begin reading the Sunday following Sacrament Sunday in January 2010.  Congratulations!
