SEPTEMBER IS “WEAR YOUR NAMETAG MONTH”! Do you recognize everyone sitting around you in church? Do you remember their names?

You are encouraged to get creative with your nametag, if you desire, by adding color, logos, borders, decorations. A member of the membership committee will be available before and after the service at the nametag board to assist you with finding and replacing your name tag.

How do the LDS compare to other forms of Christianity? Please join us One Sunday a month,  beginning September 21 right after worship. Deb Bowsher leads the class on the third Sunday of each month to compare and contrast these traditions. We’ll look at Anglican beliefs this month!
