On Oct. 16 during the morning service, the Sheshenia Family will be sharing their story with us.  A special offering will be received at that time to help them purchase a family car.  This will be followed by a carry-in fellowship meal.

So that Darin & Rachel King can concentrate more on Kid’s Club and working with the youth, we will no longer be having children’s church during the morning worship service.

You are invited to join a Christmas community choir.  The first rehearsal is Oct. 4, 7:00 pm at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 1111 N. Galyn St., Sturgis.  The performance will be Dec. 9.
