Hello!
Brand New ~ All of our recorded baptisms, confirmations, marriages, and funerals have been archived by Family Search. This is a free on-line family tree search agent. Family Search is an organization under the guise of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It is their wish to make available all known genealogical records free of charge through the world. A flash drive, of our records, was made available to us free of charge. I’ve used the site personally and have found some interesting information on my mom’s side! Their web site is www.familysearch.org. Friendship Dinner Thank you to everyone who helped prepare, serve, and clean up for the October 28 Friendship Dinner. We served 135 meals at a cost of $1.84 per meal. Our next Friendship Dinner will be November 25. There is a sign up sheet in the undercroft to help serve this meal. Our dessert for November will be pie, a sign up sheet is also available in the undercroft. This dinner falls the Saturday after Thanksgiving, please consider giving a couple of hours to volunteer for this dinner. We will be offering our guests hats, scarves, gloves, mittens, and socks to help combat the cold weather. Men's gloves, mittens, and socks for all ages are needed.
